Can i know the benefits and problems of veneers and crowns?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
I am considering getting my four front teeth either crowned or have veneer on them. I would like to know the benefits and/or problems with both of these. I have had crowns before and never had a problem, but I understand that veneers are a bit more pricey and painful. Are they both comparable when it comes to wear, etc?

What will be the different shades of temps available for my old crowns?

Monday, August 31st, 2009
Q.
My dentist has taken wax up of existing teeth. He says my next appnt. is to remove old crowns and fit temps. Does this mean I have no control over how they look. Shouldn’t I see them first to see if I like them and be able to have a certain amount of control of how the permanents will look. I don’t want to end up paying a fortune when I don’t know what the outcome will be like. And what shade will the temps be. I haven’t had a shading taken. What if I end upwith huge white teeth like jodi marsh . I always thought the temps were what the permanents would looke like. Wouldn’t it be better to jig the temps about to my liking before removing any of my old ones. Your expert answer please.

Would replacing the crowns with dentures reduce the pain?

Monday, August 24th, 2009
Q.
Please could you give me some advice. I started having pain in my left cheek 3 months ago, the pain then radiated in my top left molar and across to my 3 front (top) crowns, then it went into the corner of my eye down the back of my head in my neck and in my left ear and around my jaw. I had the molar taken out then a tooth next to the 3 front top crowns towards left side, and then a wisdom tooth taken out top right hand side. This was all in the space of a week. The pain after the extractions hasn’t changed. I was told by one dentist that I have grinded my teeth quite severly. I was then diagnosed as having TMJ by a prof who to be fair has been really good. She told me that when I talk I push my chin forwards and said my bite isn’t bad but not great. I think this is because my 3 front crowns don’t meet my bottom teeth anymore and they feel really uncomfortable, they haven’t done for a while. I have been given a splint only a week ago which i know takes time. The pain is still the same it seems to becoming from My 3 front crowns (had them in for 12 Years)had lots of problems with them in the past had a root canal etc, and for a while now the crowns have been petruding forwards and the pressure I feel is horrible I feel like I just want to rip them out. The pain then radiates in all my teeth. I know this is quite a lengthy question but I am reaaly tired of being in pain as it wakes me from my sleep I also find myself having to constantly bite down all the time especially in my sleep. I really need to get sorted as I hate my 3 young children and husband seeing me in pain all the time. I was really thinking of having the 3 crowns removed and replacing with dentures would this be the right move?. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

Will there be any damage be caused to the teeth or root by the adjacent crown?

Monday, August 24th, 2009
Q.
I recently had a crown fitted to a dental implant UL6, when the crown was fitted it felt ok but gradually it became very tight against the adjacent teeth, UL5 and 4, I could not floss between as there was no gap, I waited two weeks before returning to the practice that fitted the implant, an implement was pushed between the crown and adjacent tooth to try and create a gap this was very painful and did not work so the crown was removed and left for a month so the adjacent teeth would return to their original position which they did, however I am concerned as their was obvious preasure from the crown against the two adjacent teeth could any damage have been caused the the teeth or root which will cause further problems.

Is the quality of NHS crown same as a private crown?

Monday, August 24th, 2009
Q.
Hi there Andrew. Thank you for offering your advice here. I’ve had a porcelain and metal bonded crown on my main front left tooth for the last 6 years. It is fitted on a small stub (my actual tooth) Recently my porcelain crown broke in the middle of the night. It just fell apart at 5am. I didn’t bang it and dont hink i have ever banged it as im very carefull with it. Only the porcelain broke off… the black metal is still on my tooth with the permenant dentist glue. I have a HC2 certificate. What is the difference, in detail, between an NHS crown and a private crown? Shouldn’t the quality of a NHS crown be the same as a private crown? Am I entitled to request, under my entitlement to rights from NHS dental treatment received, that i would like the NHS crown to be the same quality as a private crown? Am I entitled to an all ceramic crown under my NHS HC2 certificate rather than a porcelain/metal bonded crown? It is for my main front left tooth. Looking forward to your advice. Many many thanks.

How long would Ive to be without teeth before I can go with dentures?

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Caplan, I am 34 years old and used to have fantastic teeth (needed my first ever filling when I was 18), but for some reason within the last 5 years my teeth have pretty much rottened/crumbled away. I’ve been told by a dentist that this is due to chewing a lot of sugary gum. I have continously been undergoing several treatments (6 extractions, root canal, crowns etc.) but it seems to have just worsened the situation. Whatever crowns get put on my teeth seem to come apart withing a couple of months damaging more of what little tooth is left. I am now at a point of considering having what is left extracted and wearing dentures. could you give me your opinion (pros/cons) on this as I am getting very conflicting advice. Also do you know how long I would have to be without any teeth until I can wear dentures? Many thanks
