Do I need a crown fitted if I have a cracked tooth?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010
Q.
I went to the dentist with a mild toothache on my left side second molar. The Dr. couldn’t find anything wrong until he noticed a small crack. He says I need a crown put on it. I’m trying to get other opinions. I’m worried he’s only doing this for the $$$. Thanks.,

Can invisalign braces be fitted to teeth that have a crown fitted?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
Hello. I have a crown on one of my top, central incisors which I have had for about 8 years. I have noticed over the last year or so that my top front teeth are becoming crooked – specifically, the tooth with the crown is moving forward very slightly. I am very unhappy with the effect this has on my smile and wanted to look into Invisalign braces or something similar (something discreet) but my question is whether it would be OK to undergo such treatement with a crown fitted, or whether the braces would cause the crown to break off, rather than realigning it and the remaining tooth underneath. Please advise me. Thank you.,
A.

Are NHS crowns as bad as my dentist claims?

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010
Q.
Hi. I have just recently been to see my dentist and have been told that I will need a crown on one of my front upper tooth (I had an apesectomy so there is no root and the tooth is very grey). However he said it would be better to go private as the NHS Crowns are not a great colour and is very noticeable in colour compared to my other teeth! I have been quoted £400 if I wanted to go private, which I can not afford as I am four months pregnant. My question being, are the NHS crowns as noticeable as my dentist says?,

My crown is still feeling unnatural after two months. Is this normal?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
Hello Doctor, Tooth number 13 had some decay which caused it to crack and lose structure. A local dentist had performed a post and crown procedure. Problem is that the crown still feels unnatural after nearly 2 months. Cosmetically it looks great, however I can feel it rub on the inside of my cheek and is very distracting. Is this considered normal?,

My crowned tooth is really sensitive after being fitted recently. Will I need further treatment?

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010
Q.
I had a crown fitted over a back molar about 4 weeks ago,which had cracked after a long-term large filling. I didn’t require a root canal. The prep went fine but when the temp cover was taken off the dentist was unable to numb it and it was incredibly sensitive. Anyway, the crown was fitted and it was really sensitive to everything for a week then it subsided a bit. Now the tooth next to it is sensitive too! The crowned tooth is sensitive to very hot drinks and food but not as bad as it was and a little bit sensitive to very cold stuff too. Please tell me that I don’t require any further treatment as they couldn’t numb it last time I went and the prospect of drilling when I can feel it makes me feel ill!!! Many thanks,
A.
