My crowns have fallen out, can I get them rebonded?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Both of my dental crowns just came off tonight after having them put on about 10 years ago following a dual root canal on the two molars immediately behind my canine tooth. Is it possible to have my dental crowns rebond ? If it is possible, how much does it usually cost to have them re-bonded? If it isn’t possible, what are my other options? At the moment, there is no pain, but I am freaking out alot because I can feel my teeth that had been ground down.

I am 23 years old and would like cosmetic treatment for baby teeth. Is this possible?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Dear Doctor Sunita Verma. My question: I am a 23 years old university student from Glasgow. I have not lost my baby tooth (central incisor!!) and it doesn’t have any roots and it’s quite strong as well! But I was wondering to go through some cosmetic surgery as there’s a gap there.
I would really appreciate if you could help and write me your personal opinion on this as my dentist recommended to not to get rid of if as long as it’s strong.

Kind Regards and best wishes.

Q.

Hello doctor,i wonder if you could help.

I would like my to get the gaps in my teeth closed, my teeth whitening and slightly shaped. I would also like both top and bottom rows done, apart from my morlars on both rows.
Generally how much do you think this would cost with the following:
a) Cosmetic Bonding
b) Veneers

Is there anything else you would suggest that would be better for me to do to achieve my aim?

Thank you very much for your time.

I am unhappy with the crown and gum contouring my dentist has given me, what can I do?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
Q.

I have been attending a private practioner & after some gum contouring I have now been fitted with my permanent lava crowns x11. I have had other work done by the same dentist in the last year & have never been satisfied with the results, now after the final fitting I’m really unhappy I felt pressured into accepting them even though they were not made to my specifics i.e. too long & too narrow. She shortened the 2 front ones but the canines are different lengths & so are the premolars! Can they be shortened? & is it normal for all the front teeth to be a different colour to the back teeth? B1 & then from premolars back B2 she said this would look more natural!!!! But instead I look as if I have bad teeth to the side. Any advice would be appreciated.

My teeth are decaying but there is no apparent pain. What should be done?

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Safeer Butt and thank you for taking the time to consider my question. ihave 2 teeth that are badly decayed through years of fizzy drinks and not very good oral hygiene.the decay has eaten through the enamel leaving a dark browndecay underneath.generaly speaking is the fact that i have no pain orjust the normall sensitivity to hot/cold a good thing as regards treatment options.there is also no undue pain when pressure is put on teeth.the teeth in question are my upper central and lateral incisors.i would be interested in your opinions of possible options if as im hoping the decay has not yet reached the pulp/nerve as im not in ahy discomfort. im sorry the question was so long.thank you for your time.

I have recently had crowns put in but I feel that some are bit too long, can I have them shaved down a little?

Monday, April 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I recently had four zirconia crowns placed on my upper anterior teeth, and while I love them I think the lateral ones are a little bit too long (nearly the same length as the middle ones).

I was wondering if it would be possible to have them shaved down up to about half a millimetre, or would this undermine their strength and longevity?

And if so, can you tell me approximately how much I should expect to pay for this?

Regards,

My new dentist tells me I should have 5 teeth removed after my crowns became damaged. What advice can you give?

Thursday, April 14th, 2011
Q.

i recently visited a new dentist as my previous one was too far away, i had 2 crowns before and they got damaged and fell out, when i returned to my old dentist he said they needed to be removed as the crown was not staying put. that was november and my new dentist was quite abrupt and rude and told me the 2 needed 2 be removed and another 3, 1 is a widom tooth. he told me the nhs would not pay for me to have thosands of pounds of work done and he would not treat me until the teeth had been removed. he then made a hospital appointment for this to happen under sedation. i agree the wisdom and the previous 2 need to be removed but the others im sure can be saved, otherwise it leaves me with 2 back teeth??

My teeth have drifted after having both braces and crowns fitted and the tooth under the crown has turned black, what are my options?

Friday, April 8th, 2011
Q.

When i was younger I had my front tooth knocked out after a cap and a root canal I was eventually given a denture. When I was old enough to have braces I had braces to close the gap in the front and to use my second tooth (lateral incisor) as a front tooth and put a crown on it.
11 years later the crown has decreased in size, the tooth has drifted and it’s a totally different shape to my other tooth so now I have a big gap in the middle, it’s too big for 1 tooth alone but not big enough for 2 teeth. The prepared tooth under the crown has also gone blackish. what would you suggest would be the best option for me to get a nice gap free smile back!
