Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
My 34 year old son had a permanent cap on his lower back tooth. After the proceedure he had sever pain in his jaw and cannot eat or close his teeth together.

The dentist seems not worried. What should he do.

My crowned front tooth is gray in colour Can i get them be re-done?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
I got my two top front teeth crowned in 2007. As time has gone by they are looking more and more gray. Around the gum lines are darker, but the teeth are gray as well. I’m scheduled to have them re-done, but I’m curious as to why they turned gray, and if it is probable it will happen again after I get them re-done? I don’t want to waste my money if it’s likely to be a similar situation. Thanks.

The crowns will not have … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is there any likely hood that my tooth breaks in process of replacing my caps

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi i wrote to you before, i have porclain fused to metal crowns, and the metal is starting to show slightly. One of my tooth with a crown had a root canal and has changed colour. I did enquiry into the services you provid, however i am worried about getting my teeth re-caped maybe due to horror stories i heard e.g a root canal tooth can be broken of when taking off the cap,this is really putting me off else i would have book a consultation with you to get all porclain crowns a while back.

One of my crown has become loose now how can i get it fixed?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a traditional bridge (front) with a dummy affixed to a crown on each side. It has been there about 10 years and has been fine. Recently one of the crowns has now come loose and a dentist has told me he wants to cut the dummy on one side and replace the crown (so making the original crown on the other side with the dummy a cantilever I guess?) Is this really the best solution – I thought replacing thewhole bridge would be stronger and better for the long term. Thanks for any help!

A.
I personally would replace the… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

There is a small gap between my crowns should it need to be replaced

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Moore, ten years ago I had RCT done for two of my teeth (left upper – 10, 11, i think) they were crowned in nice tooth colored crowns (matched my teeth color exactly)…now there was a small gap that appeared in between one of these crowns and another natural tooth so food impaction resulted , i needed a gum cleaning last week. Now doctor says he has to replace the crown as the space has to be closed. He also suggested gingivoplasty before the new crown is placed.

A.
If the dentsit has a record of… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
