How much do UK crowns cost compared to Poland

Friday, July 25th, 2008
Q.
Hi. My wife has returned from Poland after some dental work. We always wanted to have a holiday there and she needed 4 veneers replacing so we combined the two. We had a fab time and the Polish dentist could not have been more proffessional. There is a small issue however with her 2 front teeth, and whilst the dentist gave a 2 year gaurantee, and has said he will happily replace them free of charge, im reluctant to continue as more flights, hotel bills, and holidays are involved, and if there was a further problem it would get too expensive, hence having the work done here. Anyway, the 4 teeth at the front were to have replacement veneers done, but on inspection the dentist suggested having the front 2 made into crowns as the teeth protruded. This was done and my wife is over the moon with her flatter 2 front teeth and now rounded top set of teeth, and the 2 teeth either side having the veneers replaced. After returning we have noticed in some light that the 2 front teeth have a sort of dark shade on them ? and, one of them looks like you can see very faintly the yellowish tooth underneath ? Is this possible with crowns ? do you see the tooth underneath sometimes ? what is the dark area that is apparent under certain light ? she is not 100% happy and i think they will need replacing, unfortunately adding to the cost. How much are UK crowns ? and is it possible to match them up to the 2 new veneers ? (1 each side)

Q.
Dear Dr Komal Suri. I am a 48 year old woman and have two teeth missing on the upper top 5 and 6. i currently wear a denture plate which i detest. When I go out socialising i feel I have no confidence in talking to people male and female. I tried bridge work a couple of year ago but got a phobia with it and had to have it taken out. Since then I have worn a denture. Please help me.

My teeth have greyed after trauma and root canal

Friday, July 4th, 2008
Q.
I recently had trauma to 2 of my front teeth (front left and next left), and had root canals. The teeth have greyed and im having internal bleaching on the teeth. I have been advised that I could avoid crowning for a number of years and have spoken to people whose front tooth has lasted 15 years, the NHS dentist said I should not rush it anyway as i need to see how the root canals progress and whether they are successful. Im very depressed at the moment as the trauma was caused when I was assaulted. I have had a great life to date and only recently married. This has left a huge dark cloud over our lives and time in our new house. I have no other problems with my teeth and only ever had one filing. Now I cant bite down on food and my tooth colour has not returned to a satisfactory colour. Im scard of crowns and implants and with a high flying job cannot be out of work for long- is the cerec crown the way to go? We dont have much money at the moment with moving and the wedding so need the best solution for reasonable cost- please advise

I want 2 front teeth straightened with invsalign

Monday, June 30th, 2008
Q.
I am looking to have my two front teeth straightened as they protrude slightly. I paid for an assessment for invisalign to be told I was in the \’severe category\’ and it would take two and a half years due to the position of my jaw, and the way my teeth fit together. I am now thinking of having crowns but seems very drastic. Are there any other alternatives, i.e. normal braces or would I have the same problems as with Invisalign?
