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?

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

How much a metal cap would cost and what are my options

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
Hello, When I was younger I fell over and chipped my front tooth in half. It was capped. After a few years it fell out and I went for more dentistry work. The dentist pretty much ground the tooth down to a little stump and then bonded a cap to the tooth. He said it will last a few years and so far has been in for a good 8 years with no signs of movement. I am unhappy with the tooth as it is rather grey in comparison to the other teeth… my friend has a cap on the same tooth and his is greyish also. Unfortunately I smoke but am planning on quitting in the near future. I have made my mind up on getting the cap replaced and was wondering on the options available. I would love a fancy cap… if not solid silver at least the outer edge silver and the rest white matching the rest of my teeth. I wore braces as a kid and my teeth are straight. When I went to mexico I noticed a lot of the guys had the gold outer rimmed caps and thought they look rather nice as they aren’t as much as a solid metal tooth. Could you please give me a rough estimation on how much a metal cap would cost and the options available to me. I am after it having a silver outer edge if that makes any sense? Look forward to hearing from you Kind regards
