One of my crown has become loose now how can i get it fixed?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a traditional bridge (front) with a dummy affixed to a crown on each side. It has been there about 10 years and has been fine. Recently one of the crowns has now come loose and a dentist has told me he wants to cut the dummy on one side and replace the crown (so making the original crown on the other side with the dummy a cantilever I guess?)

There is a small gap between my crowns should it need to be replaced

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Moore, ten years ago I had RCT done for two of my teeth (left upper – 10, 11, i think) they were crowned in nice tooth colored crowns (matched my teeth color exactly)…now there was a small gap that appeared in between one of these crowns and another natural tooth so food impaction resulted , i needed a gum cleaning last week. Now doctor says he has to replace the crown as the space has to be closed. He also suggested gingivoplasty before the new crown is placed. I am also concerned about the new crown not being of the same color as my tooth. Can you please advise ?

Would be possible to just get a cap or venner on just that one tooth

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
I really only have one tooth that i have a problem with, whenever i smile, it would appear my teeth were crooked but its only because i have a chipped and slightly crooked front tooth. the chip isnt very big, but it is noticablee by far. and the crookedness might not look so severe if the chip werent there. So what i was wondering is, instead of getting braces, because there no where near in my budget, if it would be possible to just get a cap or venner on just that one tooth. Out of my two front teeth, its the one on the rightt, and its crooked towards the left, witch is where the chip is, on the left corner on my tooth.

A.
If the chip is as small as you… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Will a cosmetic dentist reduce the length of the crowns fitted?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
I have recently had six crowns fitted on the NHS,which are a combination of metal fused to porcelain. My crowns are too long and ‘cut’ into my bottom lip.I asked the restorative dentist at the time to reduce the length,but he refused. I have been left feeling very self-concious. Is it possible if i went privately,to a cosmetic dentist,to reduce the length or will this crack or split the crown?

A.
This may crack or split the cr… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
