I’m unhappy with my new crowns, they’re not at all like imagined they would be. Am I stuck with them?

Q.
I’ve always wanted to have my smile improved and decided that after many years i would look into getting my teeth crowned, i had chipped, discoloured and filled teeth all along the front row. I eventually had the work done but im not happy with the overall result, they’re not like I imagined they would be, they’re more yellow than white, they’re too big and the finish along the gum line is ‘chunky’. Apparently that’s because they were NHS and not private, surely this should not make a difference and I shouldn’t have to accept this. Can they be improved or am i stuck with them ? I’d appreciate your advice.,

I’m worried that I have paid for a certain type of material, but have got another. What can I do?

Q.
Hi, I’ve had 3 crowns fitted the first was metal based layered with porcelain – this was ok but I had a dark gum line. So I decided to have the next 2 crowns ‘all ceramic’ to avoid this dark line, but the dark gum line is even worse with the ceramic crowns. After reading up about crowns on the web and something a stand in dentist said at my practice I’m wondering if I’ve paid for ceramic but got the cheaper metal and porcelain crowns. Please advise.,

Do I have a choice concerning where I can have my implant fitted after I have my tooth removed by my regular dentist?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
I have a molar in my lower right jaw with an infection in/below the root canal. The tooth is crowned and has been infected and recrowned previously. My dentist and I are agreed that the tooth must go! Antibiotic treatment is making me feel unwell and not solving the pain problem completely – I am now in my second week of high-dose antibiotics, having been changed from penicillin to Clindamycin today – and I would like to lost the tooth asap. I hope to have an implant to replace this tooth/crown and have been told that I would be suitable for one. My own dentist (A) does not perform implants, but has told me that the dentist at my practice who does (B) would like to extract my problem tooth himself to see how it “sits”, etc. I have two problems with this: i) dentist B does not want to take the tooth out at the moment and ii) I am not sure that I feel confident about dentist B conducting the implant procedure. Can I decide where to have my implant performed after my own dentist, dentist A, has extracted the offending tooth?,
A.
Yes this is entirely your own … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is my dentists charging me for work that I might not need or may not even be right for me?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi – I want to my NHS dentist this morning in Essex, and I am a little concerned on something. Two years ago, I had a dental implant (front tooth) and recently it is chipping away around the sides and looking a little gappy. Firstly, he did not remember it was him that put the actual implant in. Secondly, I did not realise this until now, but he has booked me in to come back for a crown on this tooth. Is this normal, or would he think that it is only a crown on the tooth rather than implant? Thirdly, I obv paid for this already, when it was originally done. He is charging me again, is this right? Many thanks if you can help, because I am concerned about paying all the money again and not getting a proper job done.,
