Would an NHS dentist be able to remove my gold tooth and replace it with a white one?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hello, I have 2 questions: 1. About 4 years ago I had a tooth removed near the back of my mouth and replaced with a gold one. I would now like to have the gold one removed and replaced with a white one, would a NHS dentist do this for me and how much would it cost? 2. One of my front lower teeth is much further back than my other teeth, would it be possible to have it removed and the subsequent gap filled or have it pushed forward? Again, is this a private dentist matter and how much would it cost? Thanks for your time.,

Is it true that if you have a crown it’s difficult to colour match it with the rest of your teeth?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
One of my main front teeth was broken off several years ago, and I had a root canal and bonding done. The tooth is now sort of a grey color, and I went to see a dentist about possibly redoing the bonding work for cosmetic purposes(functionally the tooth is fine). He told me that he would not do bonding on that tooth because of the grey color. I thought that bonding would cover the grey, but apparently not. He told me that he would suggest a crown over the tooth. I have read a lot of information however that would seem to indicate that when crowing only one main front tooth it’s difficult to do a proper color match. Is this true? Would the crown be your suggestion as well, or are there other options that I should check into?,
A.
It is very difficult to do but… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Should my dentist be responsible for replacing the cap and the work required to fix my problem?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
Q.
I just had my very back tooth capped last year and had gone back to the dentist for my yearly check-up and was told that I had a leaking tooth where it was just capped which indicated decay. Should the dentist be responsible for replacing the cap and the work required to fix the problem. They mention several times how well I take care of my teeth with brushing and flossing so I do not think it was my fault. Please advise, thank you!,
