How come that the tooth under the crown can become bad?

Monday, August 10th, 2009
Q.
I got in September 2007 a tooth crown. After 2 years the crown got loose and I went back to the dentist. The dentist removed the crown and told me the tooth is bad and the tooth broken inside the crown, so that the crown come loose. But how come that the tooth become bad, when he got cleaned completely before the crown get placed over. Because under the crown a tooth can normally not get bad. Please, I hope you can answer the question: Is the dentist to blame and I have to pay for the repair? Because I think a crown most hold at least 10 years and not just 2 years. I can understand if the glue is not very strong, then the crown can get loose. Thanks a lot.

Where should i go to have a new crown NHS or Private

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, I’ve just been to the dentist (for the first time in years!). I’m lucky in that my teeth, gums, etc, are generally in good shape, but I do have a mark on my two front upper teeth which I’d like removing. The dentist was a bit confusing, talking about the treatment available on the NHS – vaneers underlined with metal which becomes visible after time? She said that crowns weren’t available on the NHS and that I’d have to go private, paying £310 for each tooth. However, I’ve been doing a bit of research and it would appear that crowns should be available, at the higher payment category, but would be of lesser quality to those provided privately. I’d like some advice on where to go from here – I’d obviously rather go the NHS route, but if the quality/life expectancy of the private crowns is significantly better, should I go this route? Thank you…

Is it worth paying a fortune for one porcelain metal crown

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
I’m really confused by this website. It tells me how cheap dentistry costs in Slovakia, then apparently refers me to Harley Street to ask a question. Well, I need one porcelain/metal crown on LL6 which is currently chipped with no underlying problem according to x-rays. I have been quoted £645 in the UK, including a £150 charge for the temporary crown. Amazing how financially-creative British dentists are. Given I must either stay abroad for 4 (?) nights, or pay for double return flights, is it worth the trouble for one tooth? Thank you.

A.
Obviously there is more than o… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My false tooth attached to my front tooth has broken what are my alternatives

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
I am wondering whether i would be suitable for a dental implant after havin lost my front left tooth to a motorbike accident 17 years ago. I’ve had a maryland bridge since 1992, which was replaced by a crown attached to my right front with a false tooth attached. This has has now broken leaving me without two front teeth. I just returned from the dentisits chair wih my denture and tempoary crown. I am now at 34 years of age going to be wearing a denture and a crown as my dentist is reluctant to use my right front tooth to further support the left false one. My other alternative is two front false teeth. Please help.
