I feel some pain in my porcelain crowned molar tooth do you think the tooth is broken?

Friday, May 8th, 2009
Q.
It has been almost a month that I had a porcelain crown placed on one of my molars(lower left back). After a couple of days I felt discomfort coming from the tooth right next to the crown. The dentist went ahead and filed down the tooth and the upper tooth aswell to apparently alleviate the pressure. The discomfort subsided for a couple of days, but I still feel the same pain. The pain has a similar feeling to that of having a broken tooth. The reason for the crown on my molar. Do you think that the tooth may also be broken or is the pain just temporary? I can not afford another crown and knowing that I may have to go three weeks with a temporary has me worried compromising my self-confidence.

can height be added to crown once they are put in place?

Monday, April 27th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Moore, I had 3 upper left molars replaced by pins/crowns, and 2 lower left molars replaced by crowns, and a cantilever bridge placed where a tooth was missing. They were done last year and I have noticed that my front teeth does all the grinding of food. Also recently when I chew my incisors are biting into the inner tissue of my lip? I still need to have two crowns to replace one upper and one lower right molar. Can height be added to crowns once they are put in place? Many thanks.

Kindly quote for last upper molar to be crowned – not my wisdom tooth as that has already been removed. This tooth has had an emulgam filling for many years and the otter side of the tooth has just broken away. With thanks

what is the difference between porcelain crowns and vinyl crown

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have recently had to go to have a old crown measured for a new one, im not entirely sure what the old one was made of. It had lasted me the best part of 12 years, it just discoloured over time. My current dentist said he cant give me an exact colour match to my own teeth and it will be a Vinyl crown. I am feeling very apprehensive about my new crown, as I am not only paying a lot of money, but it is one of my two front teeth, so I will feel very concious of smiling like I was with my old one. Can you advise me on what i should ask my dentist to do if i am dissatisfied with my new crown once i have it fitted. Also what is the difference between a Porcelain and a Vinyl Crown? Thank you

Would home filling of a chipped tooth is safer than a private dentist

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, about 10 years ago, when i was about 11 years old,i fell in the shower and chipped my front teeth. At the time, the dentist filed down my teeth to straighten them out but, i guess, he couldnt straighten them completely because of the bite. So now, i am left with slighty wonky teeth, making a small upside V shape between the two. This really upsets me and hinders my confidence. I recently went to the dentist to ask for a cap or some extra filing but he said he couldnt as the cap would be too small whilst filing would be problematic for my bite. But to be honest, i’m not to bothered about my bite as i have an underbite anyway, i just want my teeth to be straight!Is there anything i could do? would private dentists do the job? or ive even read about home filing on the internet, is this really safe? Thankyou…

The proceline crowns I had 3 years ago gone horrible wrong none to trust please help

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have had crowns, (albeit only temps when i was little) since i was 10 due to an accident were i broke my teeth. I had proper crowns fitted when i was 18 and had them in for 10 years, they fitted nice good colour etc but unfortunatly i snapped one…. so i decided to have them replaced 3 years ago and have them done private (more expensive porceline crowns) Well within a year into having them on,they had moved position and they have gone yellow? they discolour more so i have noticed when i go on the sunbed? My dentist said he has no idea why they have done this and says they shoukdnt, but was unwilling to replace them for free or even at a discount! Its now a further 2 years on and they are terrible and i really need them replacing and all my teeth whitening, but i have lost faith in whom to trust to were go to get them replaced? as i dont have the kind of money to keep paying out for them if this is to happen every few years? Thankyou
