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.

Whats the difference between fillings and crowns?

Thursday, March 10th, 2011
Q.

Hi been to the dentist today as I have lost part of a filling on one of my back teeth – dentist has said needs a crown but would cost £198 as nhs charge 3 for a silver colouredcrown or £150 for private white composite filling??? Bit baffled so took the private route as cheaper? Why crown and not filling on nhs? Also had to pay half now for appointment in a month??? I’ve paid for services not yet received??? I wouldn’t do this for any other service so feel slightly conned?

Hi can I get lumineers on filled teeth?

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr Solanki –

I’ve read about Lumineers and I am wondering if the product is suitable to go over a front top tooth that has two large fillings (one I think is attached with a pin!). About two thirds of the tooth is original and strong.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I already have crowns on my top front 6 teeth but gave never been happy with them. I have had them for around 11 years. I am looking to get replacement crowns of a smaller size and a whiter colour. Can you give me any tips in terms of making sure that I am happy with the results this time?
Many thanks

I had a tooth pulled, would I be suitable for an implant?

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Q.

I was having issues with a recent root canal and decided to have it pulled instead of going through re-treatment and possibly oral surgery. The permanent crown had not yet been placed, and I was wondering if it could be used instead for an implant. My dentist was not optimistic that it would work, but he was very unhappy with my decision at all. I’d really like a second opinion.

Thank you!!

I want veneers or crowns but I have receding gums, what can I do?

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Q.

i would be grateful if you could offer me some advise regarding my teeth and gums as my dentist doesnt seem to be interested in helping…
i have receding gums on my top and bottom teeth and they seem to be getting worse. i have took the advise and now brush with an electric tooth brush or a soft brush but the receding is getting worse. im 29yrs old and along with this problem my teeth seem to be wearing down, they have become see through in places and have generally become weaker and thinner. my dentist filled the receding areas on my bottom teeth with some filling but it now stands out from the colour of my teeth and people are starting to notice. in the past i had my teeth whitened but the whitener seeped into my receding teeth and has left white areas in the teeth itself which is very noticable.. whilst the teeth are wearing down gaps are becoming bigger. all these problems are getting me down and they are getting worse.
would i be able to have caps or veneers etc on top of my own teeth to cover the problems and can they be made to look perfect? can you have caps/veneers when you have receding gums??? i want a natural smile and dont want to worry about my teeth becoming worse…

Should I have root canal treatment prior to crowns being fitted?

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Q.

Is it best, or should I say good practice, to have root canal treatment carried out prior to the crown being fitted even if the root of the tooth appears healthy?
