I’m worried that I have paid for a certain type of material, but have got another. What can I do?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I’ve had 3 crowns fitted the first was metal based layered with porcelain – this was ok but I had a dark gum line. So I decided to have the next 2 crowns ‘all ceramic’ to avoid this dark line, but the dark gum line is even worse with the ceramic crowns. After reading up about crowns on the web and something a stand in dentist said at my practice I’m wondering if I’ve paid for ceramic but got the cheaper metal and porcelain crowns. Please advise.,

Did procedure lead to these new problems?

Monday, August 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, Just before Xmas i had a tooth prepared for a Crown. My Dentist didnt place a temporary on as “your gum is a bit sore wont put temporary on to give it time too heal”. What with the Xmas period and not having the money to pay the remaining balance I went back 5 weeks later to have the Crown fitted. When I went back the Dentist said “just going to remove the temporary”. I told her she never put one on and she did seem slightly surprised. She’d obviously forgot she’d not put one on… Sorry this is long winded..Now i have sensitivity to hot and cold and have an awful taste and smell coming from that area. Is this because the crown doesnt fit properly as my teeth shifted from not having a temporary on? That is a guess but obviously I would value yr professional opinion. Please help as iv’e paid £400 for this treatment and now have sensitivity and smelly breath that i didnt have before!!,
