Q. Hello i would like some advice regarding replacing crowns i had 4 crowns fitted about 20 years ago i had no problems with them , but i had new ones fitted about 5 years ago due to receding gums,after about 6 months one of the crowns seemed to be dropping, i was told this was the root of the tooth. it has continued to drop, i changed dentists and was told i should not have been given new crowns as i have a gum disease i would have to have a plate. i have changed dentists again and was told i need new crowns i am worried the tooth will drop again would i be wasting my money on crowns or was the other dentist right and i should have a plate?

I would apreciate some advice as i really dont know what is the right decision to make , i dont want to pay out a lot of money and 6 months down the line be in the same situation. many thanks for your time in replying to my question
