Q.
Hi, I was wondering about a root canal. I need a root canal procedure on my right front tooth. I heard that you have to have a crown when the procedure is finished. I’m worried about my smile and if the crown color will match my other teeth. I don’t want my tooth to be obvious. Is there any way I can still have my teeth look the same ? THANKS. 🙂

What is more expensive and dental crown or a vaneer? In the font part of my mouth in the top teeth there was a tooth that had been broken since I was 8 years old. My dentist was able to fix this tooth and it looks great and I am able to eat much better. I am only wanting to know what this is a crown or a vaneer. I watched the video on the dental crown and the Vaneers. He did not say he just worked for about 2 hours it seemed and now I am able to use the tooth.

Would a tightly fitted crown on an implant damage the adjacent teeth

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
Q.
Hello. I recently had the crown fitted after a dental implant UL6 a day after I noticed the the crown felt very tight and I was unable to floss between UL5,4,3,2, a week later I returned to practice that fitted the implant the crown was removed and I think filed and re fitted, I found after a day or so there was no difference so returned again where the crown was removed and another impression taken the crown being returned to the dental lab, I have not had it re fitted yet, the gap between the adjacent teeth has now returned to normal, I cannot recall UL2 ever sticking out slightly as it is now and the dental surgeon said it would not be possible for the implant that was tight to move UL 2, I am concerned as the tightly fitting crown was in place for over two weeks some damage may have occured to the adjacent teeth, could you give me some help please. Thank You

My crowns look grey in day light what are my option please help

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
Q.
I am 35 years old and about ten years ago a dentist capped my two front teeth a very dirty off white colour on the NHS. I was not aware of the procedure and thought he was going to put veneers over them. Sorry to sound so dumb but was not very informed. A few years ago I had my teeth whitened and the two caps stayed much the same. Outside in the daylight my top row of teeth look grey and dirty and as a women of 35 you can imagine the impact on my confidence. I have been told by several cosmetic dentists that they do not want to remove the caps and replace them and if I get veneers on the teeth left and right to the two front ones I am still left with two discoloured teeth. Please help.

This is a common problem and n… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
