My gums are receding and i can see black on my old crowns where can i go?

Q. Since an accident when I was eleven years old i have had two front crowns. now that I am 49yrs old my gums are reseeding showing the top black of the crowns and on the left this has completely come off whilst I was in Germany on a seminar and have a temporary piece of plastic, could you advise me of where to go as i do not smile as much and that I am getting married in july and would like my old smile back – many thanks to you M

A. Hi M, many thanks for your enquiry, it is a simple problem to rectify, all crowns over the years suffer the same fate of recession around the gums showing the margins of the crowns. The best thing would be to go for a consultation where they offer cosmetic crowns, if you are based close to Manchester i would be more than happy to see you to sort this problem out. If you require any other assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi,

I often go on your website to read the entries of people with problems with their teeth. As I am not happy with my teeth at all. I have a bridge at the front, (one false tooth, two crowns) the crowns are now held on by artifical posts, as my own posts snapped off! I had a new bridge fitted 3 months ago when this happened, as I was not happy when the dentist fitted my old bridge back onto new artifical posts, they just did not fit right. They were protruding.

My Dentist told me the only way to combat this was to have a new bridge fitted, which I have. But I am still unhappy. It looks so false, even though the bridge is new, my gums are receding, the teeth look thick and chunky. What more can I say? I just do not smile any more! I turned 50 last year, and i try to look after myself, including my teeth! I live in North Wales which is about 1 hour 30 mins drive from manchester.

How much is a consultation with you please?

Kind Regards Julie
