I recently received a trauma to my two upper front teeth

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
Q.
I recently received a trauma to my two upper front teeth which resulted in one snapping quite high up and the other discolouring. The snapped tooth has been fitted with a carbon-fibre post and the orginal tooth adhered back on but regularly comes loose being very irritating and leaving an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I was charged £198 for this procedure but am now considering crowns but my dentist says they will be £600 each is this correct. Should I not receive a crown for no further charge as his recommended treatment has not worked?

every tooth in my head was fitted with a crown

Monday, September 29th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr Suri. In 1987/8 every tooth in my head was fitted with a crown because they had all worn down. I have had little trouble with my crowns, apart from the two upper front teeth, One I had to have removed and a plate fitted the other came off about 10 years ago and was refixed and has not been a problem untill 2 months ago. My local Dentist refixed it with a new plastic pin but since then the tooth sticks out about 1.5mm I told the dentist I was not happy with the job but he says i need a new crown. I said if the original tooth and crown were drilled straight and the pin was straight hence the tooth was straight how come the tooth is sticking out at an angle. The Dentist could’nt give me a satisfactory answer but just kept saying I needed a new crown. This I could not accept as I am an engineer and unless the crown was wrongly drilled when getting the old pin out, if a new straight pin is fitted in the original holes the tooth must end up straight. My question is what do you think went wrong and how do I get my straight tooth back? Yours Truly

my crown doesnt fit after breast cancer treatment

Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Q.
I hope you can help. In Dec I was diagnosed with breast cancer. During my chemotherapy I lost my gold crown off of my wisdom tooth. (I still have the crown) but was told that I could not have any dental treatment because of the threat of infection. Now the problem is that the crown will no longer fit the tooth as the tooth has eroded slightly. I am now finishing up my radiotherapy. I live in France at the moment and the dentist here tells me the tooth will have to be extracted. I have spent an absolute fotune on my teeth and am very reluctant to take this advice. Can you give me any further info ? I will be in UK shortly.

my crowns are developing gaps between them

Sunday, August 17th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have 5 crowns fitted to my top front teeth and the layout of them have been changing, like big gaps are forming and also they are protruding. I have had braces before and corrected the bite but my dentist said my top jaw is smaller than the bottom. I have since had problems with these crowns and I hate the way they look, I can’t talk or smile without feeling ugly. Also the crowns have formed gaps and starting to protrude. I don’t know why this is. Would it be because the crown post was already protruding so its makin it that way? My question is, it is possible to remove the crowns once and for all and have a partial denture instead? I have been struggling with my smile all through my life, I am 29 now. The last crowns and brace treament ruined my life and now I just want to remove all my top crowns, I rather be without them, thats how depressed it makes me

Can glass crowns look as natural as tooth veneers

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008
Q.
When I was a teenager I suffered with bulimia and as a result had acid erosion on my two front teeth. I have recently had venneers replaced on my front two teeth for the second time but also a root canal on one of them also. I am very pleased with the result but as now very worried about what will happen when these veneers need to be replaced? will i have to have crowns and will they look as natural as the veneers. Ive heard that glass crowns are the most natural looking but can they work on a root canal front tooth? I would appreciate any advice as i have developed a bug bear about my teeth when I should be enjoying thw way they look now. Im just worried about what will happen when I need replacement treatment and what are my options.

I have periodontal disease and wobbly crowns can i just replace the crowns

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008
Q.
I have two crowns at the front of my mouth which I have had for approx 15 years. I would like them replaced – as I have periodontal disease and this has caused them to move. One of the crowns is slightly wobbly. Would I be right in thinking that if they were replaced this would resolve the wobblyness! My dentist (NHS) has said to take out my 4 front teeth and replace them with a temporary denture before having a fixed bridge. But surely it would be better to keep my own teeth and have the two crowns replaced wouldn’t it? I really do not want to have to wear a denture as I have very bad gag refelexes – I am only 38 – so surely it would be better to replace the crowns.Many thanks for your answer.
