replace crown and dental implant

Q. Hello Dr I wanted some advice on who to approach about replacing a crown and an implant that I had fitted 16 years ago, the right front tooth (implant) and the incisor (crown) beside it. The actual ‘teeth’ are bearable and good condition but the incisor sticks out, I was told this was unavoidable at the time because of the thickness of it, have materials developed now which would allow me my smile back? Also there is the problem of the dark greenish colour apparent at the root of the two teeth where my gums look like they’re coming away from the two crowns. I am extremely concious of my teeth and it has affected my confidence greatly, I would be grateful for any advice and a rough estimate of prices, is it true you get what you pay for? I am on a tight budget. Thank-you

A. Hi many thanks for your enquiry, the cost of crowns vary from £500 – £900 dependent on where you go. i feel it would be better to come and see myself or a cosmetic dentist for a free consultation where all the options can be discussed and the best plan of action sought with all the relevant costs.
