Is It Worth Having My Front Teeth Crowned At The Age Of 75?
Q.
Hi, I was wondering if you’d be kind enough to offer some advice? My 4 front teeth are quite discoloured, grey looking and I would like to have them capped but I know this is very expensive. I am 75 and wonder if it would really be worth it! Also I am very worried about the pain that the injection for the anesthetic would cause as basically I am a coward with a fear of needles. My second tooth upper right is allready capped and has badly dicoloured over the years so that now it is a deep cream colour and badly shows up the grey teeth. Can you advise as to cost and whether I should have the treatment? I just want it fixing so I can smile properly again, I don’t think age should be a factor in this but I’m not sure. Thanks for your time.

Hi, thanks for your question. If its cosmetic only you can decide if the treatment is worth it but it does sound like the teeth maybe wearing down and could benefit from restoration, the injection if given very slowly shouldn’t be too bad. I hope this helps. Regards, Andrew.
