Q.

I wish I had known porcelain crowns were an option. please advise- I am desperate!

I had a crown fitted 5 months ago and now it fell out is it reasonable to ask for a refund

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Q.
I had a crown fitted 5 months ago, it cost me approx £300 for a white one, it fell out tonight along with nearly all of the tooth underneath, I don’t think it can be repaired? all I’m left with is a big hole and no tooth above the gum line. Is it reasonable to ask for a refund? If i’d been warned it may not last long I wouldn’t have gone to the expense.

A.
5 months isn’t long for a crow… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I two teeth which are need to be crowned will they be done in metal in NHS please advice

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Q.
I currently have two teeth which by dentist said will benefit from being crowned. However he said that if I have these crowns on the NHS, they will have to be done in metal and will be seen as metal in my mouth, rather than porcelin and that to have a porcelin crown I will have to pay privately. I have tried looking for this information on the NHS website, under the band 3 information, however nothing is stated. Could you give me any information regarding this please.

A.
In theory this is correct as p… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

i just had my new crown and i can not close my teeth together do i need to wait and see

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Q.
I have just had a new crown put on my upper left molar and when I try to bite it hits the teeth below and can’t close my teeth together properly. I told my dentist and he then filed down the crown and also down the opposing tooth on the jaw below but I still can not close my teeth together. My dentist said not to think about it and it will be alright. Because I can’t eat properly at the moment, do I wait and see what happens or do I go back and see my dentist again?

A.
Give it a few days as the teet… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

i want to remove my gold tooth should i choose a white pocelain crown or tooth implant

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Q.
I have a front gold tooth that I want to remove. It’s 13 years old and has chipped at the tip. I am a professional now and attending board meetings with “important” people, where I do not want the stigma that associates with having a gold tooth. 1) Should I choose a white/pocelain crown OR do a single tooth implant? 2) Should I whiten my OTHER teeth before replacing the gold with a white/porcelain crown? 3) Or do you suggest something else?

If you are unhappy with the co… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

is it possible to have crown on 16 teeth to make my teeth stronger whiter and possibly straightened

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Q.
I’m 27 and I have a couple of broken teeth, a few cavities and I’ve noticed some movement in my lower middle teeth. I have whitened my teeth with whitestrips and carbamide peroxide gel (I stupidly used to swish it around my mouth for 15 mins a day) and I think my teeth are severely weakened. I considered getting a crown a few months ago when one tooth broke, but lately have wondered if it would be possible to get crowns on 16+ teeth, some top and bottom (i.e. ones that show), to make them stronger, make them whiter, and possibly straighten them out. Is this viable? I’m wondering whether especially the straightening part is wishful thinking on my part. Thank you in advance for your help.
