Q. I recently received a trauma to my two upper front teeth which resulted in one snapping quite high up and the other discolouring. The snapped tooth has been fitted with a carbon-fibre post and the orginal tooth adhered back on but regularly comes loose being very irritating and leaving an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I was charged £198 for this procedure but am now considering crowns but my dentist says they will be £600 each is this correct. Should I not receive a crown for no further charge as his recommended treatment has not worked?
