I’m Unhappy With The Size Of My Crowns, But My Dentist Has Scared Me From Getting Them Re-done. What Should I Do?

Wednesday, December 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I have had three of my front teeth fitted with porcelain crowns but I am unhappy with their appearance – my dentist has agreed to replace them. However, two of the teeth are root filled and quite weak. My dentist has scared me by telling me that it’s a high probability removing the crowns will damage whats left of the teeth and he’s not keen on fitting posts – he says they don’t last long and can cause problems. I don’t know whether to just leave them (even though I’ve paid £600 per crown) or chance it and have them redone.
Any advice would be appreciated?
Many thanks.

I Feel Silly Going Back To My Dentist A Third Time, Why Didn’t My Dentist Polish It When I Went Back A Second Time?

Friday, September 13th, 2013
Q.

Earlier this week I had two top front crowns replaced however when I got home I realised that one crown was longer on one site. I went back the next day and my dentist filed some of the crown down , a little too much if I’m being honest but he made me feel so silly for coming back I did not feel like I could say anything so I just left.

The problem is the filed tooth feels so rough and sharp and I am constantly aware of it when I talk as it rubs on my upper lip and tongue, but I feel too silly to go back again. My question is should my dentist have polished my tooth or something else in order to smooth it out? Thank you.

The crown is too big for my tooth, how much should I expect to pay to have this replaced?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

16 years ago I had a crown fitted to my the very back molar. I wasn’t happy when it was fitted…as it was obviously far too big for the tooth. At the time the locum dentist remarked that it was too big but she was going to go ahead with it anyhow. It looks even uglier along with my gum which appears to be receding more revealing an even uglier spectacle. I am wondering how much it would cost to be replaced?

I have recently had crowns put in but I feel that some are bit too long, can I have them shaved down a little?

Monday, April 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I recently had four zirconia crowns placed on my upper anterior teeth, and while I love them I think the lateral ones are a little bit too long (nearly the same length as the middle ones).

I was wondering if it would be possible to have them shaved down up to about half a millimetre, or would this undermine their strength and longevity?

And if so, can you tell me approximately how much I should expect to pay for this?

Regards,

My new crowns clash with my bottom teeth and I wanted it to feel natural. What can be done about this?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Q.

I have just had 4 Porcelain crowns fitted to my front upper teeth, temps were fine but for one week the permanents were a nighmare, i couldn’t eat, talk properly as they were clashing against my bottom teeth. Went back the dentist drilled their length and also the back to improve my bite, my bite is almost back to normal but she advised if i am still having trouble they can heightening my back teeth to open up my bite a bit more. Is this normal practice, obviously the crowns have now been drilled and are rough where once smooth and secondly if i still wasn’t satisfied to have more work done, hence more money even though my bite was fine to begin with. i’ve never had crowns before so thought what i was feeling was normal to begin with but the clashing of my teeth made me to believe this was something more and no amount of time would get me used to that, i could only talk with a lisp because i was too afraid to talk in case my teeth clashed together. i find it hard to believe that a dentist could miss my bite so much, i’ve been left traumatised by the whole experience, i’ve saved up for this treatment for 2 years and feel totally let down, shocked and very dissapointed. I would like to know if this is something that happens all the time, i would like to know as i would have never went private and had this treatment done. hopefully you can restore my faith in all of this.

I went to my dentist to have my front post crown replaced

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Q.
I went to my dentist to have my front post crown replaced. when I went to have it fitted the dentist took out my old crown before he realised the new one was not ready, so he fitted me with a temporary crown. The next week the new crown did not fit and he said he was having problems with the dental lab making the tooth On the third visit the crown was ready. When he showed me the result it looked very big but i was lying down and couldn’t see properly. Now i am at home the tooth feels very big and loks bigger than the tooth next to it. I have already paid the £198 NHS charge and do not want to go back to this dentist but who can I trust to make the crown properly?,
