I Would Like To Know Which Material Is Best For Making Dental Crowns? How Much Does This Cost?

Monday, September 29th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I would like your advice. I want to know the best material with regards to dental crowns. What price should I be looking at? I am currently undergoing dental treatment in hospital and I need a crown? I would like to know what material you use so I can tell my dentist. It’s difficult being from another country to know what works best and where to obtain these materials. Thank you in advance for your reply.

I am unhappy with my new crowns, what can I do?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
Q.

Is it normal practice for a dentist not to give you a colour choice of new caps or to show you the shape, I have paid 5K upfront and I am so unhappy with both the shape and the colour.
When the temps were fitted (nearly 4 months ago) they were a brilliant white, at my second fitting (3 months later) more temps fitted a nice white this time and such a perfect shape.
I have had only 4 perms fitted on the front and I am so unhappy compared to the temps they look dull and yellow grey,. the front 2 are too long and 1 has such a bump on the back I cant bite together with my back teeth. When I have my mouth very slightly open I look like a rodent oh and they have black lines on the top. Surley this is not normal I have paid 5K upfront I feel so stupid I have an appointment in another 2 weeks time what can i do,

Should I get my teeth whitened before I get my crown fitted?

Thursday, March 10th, 2011
Q.

i have a crown at the front of my teeth that needs replacing but i was considering having my teeth whitened would it be best to have the crown replaced before i have them whitened or after. i also hav e a tooth that has had a filling that has a slight crack and my dentist suggests having a plastic coating of some sort over it because he says the tooth would crumble if he drilled it anymore would a crown be better. thankyou for any help.

What would be my best option to replace very old crown and how much would it cost?

Thursday, November 4th, 2010
Q.
MY FRONT RIGHT TOOTH WAS BROKEN AS A CHILD AT THE AGE OF NINE. A PERMANENT CAP WAS FITTED AT THE AGE OF 16, AND IS STILL ON NOW (I’M 38), SO THE CAP IS NOW 22 YEARS OLD. I HAVE NOTICED IT IS QUITE DISCOLOURED NEXT TO MY OWN TEETH, AND SITS LOWER ON TH GUMLINE. THE TOOTH TO THE RIGHT OF IT ALSO SITS SLIGHTLY BEHIND IT AND LOWER ON THE GUM LINE TOO. I AM SELF CONSCIOUS AND DON’T LIKE TO SMILE/TALK TO PEOPLE I DON’T KNOW WELL. WHAT WOULD BE MY BEST OPTION TO REPLACE IT, HOW MUCH SHOULD I EXPECT THE TREATMENT TO COST, AND HOW LONG COULD I EXPECT IT TO LAST?,

Hi. I’m getting all my front top teeth crowns replaced. I had them for 10 years and they are very yellow. I want to go with the whitest shade available, the bleeched white, but my dentist convinced me that it’s gonna look artificial and B1 will look the best. what would you advice? should i go with B1 or just go to another dentist that will do a whiter color crowns for me? what will be the shade that celebrities go for to get the prettiest smile? thank you very much,

Do crowns come in different shades?

Monday, March 15th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have just had my front tooth crown replaced after about 5 years. My dentist informed me that the non-metal crowns which appear more natural are not avaiable on the NHS, is that correct. Also the new crown that I have had fitted is an off white colour, where as my other natural front tooth is much whiter, do the crowns come in different shades. Thanks,
