Is its true that crowns cannot last for long?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I had 3 crowns done over 25 years ago and theyre still going strong but above 2 of them, the gums are receding slightly. Is there anything I can do, to alleviate this. My dentist wants me to have them redone but I am concerned about the expense and also I have been told that these days, crowns only last 10 years. Is this true and why. I would like to hold onto mine for as long as possible as I have a fear of the dentist. Thankyou.

Can I ve veneer bonded to the tooth rather than a crown?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am getting a root canal on one of my front teeth (upper right incisor). I had some work done on this same tooth last yr by a different dentist, it was already slightly discoloured so he did something to it and made it nice and healthy looking again (I think it may have been a composite filling or something?) I have been advised by the dentist I am having the root canal from that this tooth will discolour after the root canal. Will this still be the case despite the composite filling? If so, would it be possible to have a veneer bonded to the tooth rather than a crown? If I did have a crown would it be more noticeable than a veneer? Thank you

Can I hv lengthy treatment to fix my front teeth?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Q.
I wonder if you can help. I have crowded top front teeth and went through a few years of wearing a fixed appliance as a teenager and although I didn’t think necessary it must have been. However I still have crooked teeth as they have moved over time. the teeth on either side of my front teeth protrude pushing the front 2 back slightly. I have spoken to my dentist but he says it doesn’t seem worth having further orthodontal work. He also advised that it would age my teeth significantly by undertaking further treatment. I would love to get them fixed and would appreciate any advice. I am reluctant to undertake lengthy treatment again.
