I’m thinking about having my crowns replaced, would the dentist have to file of more of my teeth?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
I am thinking of having old crowns replaced after 20 odd years.because they look very dull. Would the dentist have to file off more of my teeth when old crowns removed, or not necessessarily? Apart from the dullness of the crowns I am having no problems with them. I just thought all ceramic ones would be an improvement and have amore translucent look but not at the expense of having any more of the teeth filed off. Thanks in anticipation,

Are there any alternatives to dental veneers which are affordable?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I had a porcelain veneer put in last year but some of it has now chipped off. As the enamel from that tooth has been ground down is there any alternative to veneers which are affordable? (My dentist has said that a crown would not be possible on that tooth due to there not being enough original tooth left)

What treatments can I get through the NHS in regards to my particular case?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I just got back from the dentist who has checked my two front teeth which were very wobbly but still in place. They were put back in when i lost them as a teenager but they recently became loose again. After doing the X-Rays, she has told me that the crowns have come away from the roots. She did explain some of the options available to me but she spoke very fast! Implants were one option but they seem really expensive and I’m not really in a position to be able to afford them. The other option she gave me was getting a bridge but suggested that the ‘adhesive’ option wouldn’t be available due to my second teeth being too small which is what is available on the NHS. I’m still not convinced by that. Perhaps just cynicism around dental fvees, (no offence) I don’t know. I’m now struggling to locate exactly what i can get on the NHS and what i would be able to afford. Any information would be useful,

Friday, May 14th, 2010
Q.
I have just visited my dentist as i have had 3 seperate occassions, in the same tooth of an infection in the root of my front tooth, which has cosmetic veneers, and have been told i need root canal, and that my veneer will need to be removed approx 3 mths after the treatment, and i will need a crown in its place. I dont understand why a crown needs to be put there? and why the veneer cannot stay. Can you help please.,

Q.
hi rob. i had braces as a 16 year old and my teeth over the years have gone back to how they used to be. my detist says that is natural and nothing that can be done.just the way my teeth are. i really want straight looking teeth. basically the two teeth either side of my front teeth stick out. one more than the other. can you advise me what i could do? instead of braces can i get crowns done as a quick fix rather than 2 years and have the same thing happen again? i am local to you do you do a consultation if so how much?thanks stuart,
