My crown is causing my gums to look obviously red, what is causing this?

Friday, April 9th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had a crown fitted onto my front tooth a year ago to replace a vaneer that broke off. Where the crown touches the gum it is slightly red and when I smile you can see the redness on my gum, making me smile less. My dentist at first said I could be a little sensitive to the crown and to brush it better. This has not changed it and it still looks slightly red. It has never caused my any pain, just looks quite obvious……what could be causeing this. Many thanks,
A.
The gum is inflammed and may b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it worth getting a crown that only lasts 6 months?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Q.
I lost my top tooth. It has had root canal treatment and was also a crown. My dentist says I can have a crown or a bridge. One of the teeth next to it is a veneer. He has sugested getting a implant but I can’t really afford it! There is no tooth left so I just wondered is it worth getting a crown as he said it could only last 6 months.
