Is there any difference in quality between the NHS crown and a private crown?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi. Thank you for offering your advice here. I’ve had a porcelain and metal bonded crown on my main front left tooth for the last 6 years. It is fitted on my actual tooth which has been filed down to a small stub. Recently my porcelain crown broke in the middle of the night. It just fell apart at 5am. I didn’t bang it and dont hink i have ever banged it as im very carefull with it. Only the porcelain broke off. The black metal is still on my tooth with the permenant dentist glue. I have a HC2 certificate. What is the difference between an NHS crown and a private crown? Shouldn’t the quality of a NHS crown be the same as a private crown? Am I entitled to request, under my entitlement to rights from NHS dental treatment received, that i would like the NHS crown to be the same quality as a private crown? Am I entitled to an all ceramic crown under my NHS HC2 certificate rather than a porcelain/metal bonded crown? It is for my main front left tooth. Looking forward to your advice. Many many thanks.

Can i know the benefits and problems of veneers and crowns?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
I am considering getting my four front teeth either crowned or have veneer on them. I would like to know the benefits and/or problems with both of these. I have had crowns before and never had a problem, but I understand that veneers are a bit more pricey and painful. Are they both comparable when it comes to wear, etc?

Would replacing the crowns with dentures reduce the pain?

Monday, August 24th, 2009
Q.
Please could you give me some advice. I started having pain in my left cheek 3 months ago, the pain then radiated in my top left molar and across to my 3 front (top) crowns, then it went into the corner of my eye down the back of my head in my neck and in my left ear and around my jaw. I had the molar taken out then a tooth next to the 3 front top crowns towards left side, and then a wisdom tooth taken out top right hand side. This was all in the space of a week. The pain after the extractions hasn’t changed. I was told by one dentist that I have grinded my teeth quite severly. I was then diagnosed as having TMJ by a prof who to be fair has been really good. She told me that when I talk I push my chin forwards and said my bite isn’t bad but not great. I think this is because my 3 front crowns don’t meet my bottom teeth anymore and they feel really uncomfortable, they haven’t done for a while. I have been given a splint only a week ago which i know takes time. The pain is still the same it seems to becoming from My 3 front crowns (had them in for 12 Years)had lots of problems with them in the past had a root canal etc, and for a while now the crowns have been petruding forwards and the pressure I feel is horrible I feel like I just want to rip them out. The pain then radiates in all my teeth. I know this is quite a lengthy question but I am reaaly tired of being in pain as it wakes me from my sleep I also find myself having to constantly bite down all the time especially in my sleep. I really need to get sorted as I hate my 3 young children and husband seeing me in pain all the time. I was really thinking of having the 3 crowns removed and replacing with dentures would this be the right move?. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

Will abutments harm the implants?

Monday, August 24th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr.Andrew I have had two implants on the lower teeth on the first and second molar. everything was ok, osseointegration, gums ect. I had an appointment 2 weeks ago for the final step, the crowns. The crown on the first molar was well fitted, but the one on the second molar kept coming out even with the seal and it was even too high( inadequate occlusion. The dentist told me that the reason is because the gum on my wisdom tooth that was extracted one week ago was still swollen so it was not permiting the crown on the second molar to fit properly.So I had to come another week later once the gum was healed. Today i went and the dentist told me that actually she mixed the abutements.SO the put the abutement the first molar on the second molar and vice versa. So she tried half’hour to remove the crown on the first molar that even if it was sealed with temporary sealing it was not coming off. then she said that since this was not coming of she was going to try to shape the wrong abutement for the next time. So i have to go another time to get it fixed. I left the dentist office very sad. I feel like now the pressure that was put on the crown is goign to hurt the implants or make it loose. I don’t understand what is goign on. Should i ask the dentist to cut the crown, change the abutements and do other new crowns? Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated. Best Regards

Financial packages for smile makeovers using crown lengthening

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
Q.
I have small teeth and when I smile you can see quite a lot of gum. I would like big white teeth and heard that there was a procedure that could scale gums back. Is this true? Also, could I have this treatment in conjunction with having veneers fitted and overall whitening to create that ‘hollywood’ smile look? How much should I expect to pay and are finance packages in usually place if I am unable to pay the full amount up front?
