I had a porcelain crown fitted and just over 12 months later it fractured. It was sent back to the lab but they would not admit any fault on their part. I had a new crown made to replace it and my dental clinic reduced the cost of this by £90 as good will. However that crown as now fractured in the same place as before and approx. after the same length of time. I have an appt. on Weds but would not be happy if I have to pay for a 3rd time. Where do i stand?
My question is on behalf of my wife for whom I would like to arrange teeth whitening for her birthday in May.
The problem is that she has a crown on one of her front teeth that has been there for over thirty years.
We have been advised by our own dentist that she would be unable to have her teeth whitened because of the crown.
Can you please advise if this is the case, or is there any dental technique that can overcome this problem?
Hi, 2 days ago my 3 year old daughter fell down while playing and one of her front central teeth (upper jaw ) detached totally with its root. we went to a nearest dentist soon.He told us that a children dentist will fix it with her original tooth which we are still keeping or a natural looking tooth filling crown. Is her detached tooth or plastic filing suitable for this purpose and is this procedure really going to prevent orthodontic problems? Thank you
Is there an age limit ? I am 70 and my top front teeth have rapidly deteriorated in the past two years. Having lost my top rear teeth both sides — the front teeth have worn razor sharp and chipped, particularly the top. Hope you can help me.
Hi, I’m wondering how much cost for me, to have a crown on tooth # 47 with fitting of denture? Thank you!
Hi, I am hoping you can help me. Approximately 7 years ago I had root canal treatment on one of my bottom molars and this was then filled up, a crown was never advised. At the weekend, the filling has come up and I have been in pain. I have had an xray today and it shows that I have an infection which I have antibiotics for and the dentist is suggesting I have the tooth pulled out rather than a crown. Is there no way the tooth can be saved?
I had a crown fitted in July 2007 and the post has snapped. This is the second time this has happened to me. Am I unlucky or is this a common occurrence? Also do these crowns come with any guarantee because I’m now facing a bill of £2500+ for an implant.
Hi,
I had a crown fitted (the first one I have had done) at the back of my mouth last week and it has been really sore since it was done. My dentist said that it may be a bit sensitive for a while but this is really sore – it wakes me up at night! I have been taking lots of painkillers, which I don’t like to do but it is so sore I don’t really have an option. I’d just like to know if this is normal? – there is no swelling or anything and it really doesn’t look like there is anything wrong. Should I leave it a week or so to see if it settles down or is this not normal!?
I am a 53 year old female. Have always taken great care of my teeth. Over recent years have been treated by my dentist and hygienist for receding gums. Visited my dentist yesterday with what I though was just a crack in one of my old fillings, only to be told that the tooth was actually fractured vertically. It is in my upper jaw and third from the back. I have a wide smile and it will definitely show if I have it removed. My dentist advised that it may last for a year, (he drilled out the old filling and repacked it)
He was less than helpful about my options and I left the surgery confused and shocked. My question is would I be better off having an implant or a bridge to replace the gap. One of the teeth that would be needed to support the bridge is deeply filled. Also a guide to how much this would cost would be useful.
Thank you very much for your time.
I have been having ongoing problems with a lower rt 7 which has been crowned with a white and now a gold crown. 2 months later sudden pain and sensitivity between the 7 and 8. Dentist is talking about root treatment by drilling through the crown. Can’t they take the crown off and replace after treatment.?
