Q.
Dear Dr Justin I have read a couple of your answers regarding crowns, which is my main concern (at age 27). My dentist has quoted me on work that needs to be done [5 crowns(UL1,2,5 & UR1,2), 2 veneers(UR3,UL3), 3 composites(UL4 & UR4,5)] plus hygiene, whitening, etc and I want to make sure I get it done properly as it’s mostly front teeth (mostly cosmetic work) and I don’t want to spend money on something that isn’t going to last or isn’t done so that I walk out happy. What would you suggest is the material/technology that is best for front teeth and that will last long but look natural? Also, what would you suggest is a rough estimate costing for this(without seeing my teeth I understand it can’t be very accurate)? I currently have a crown on UR2 on a post which is almost 10 years old which needs to be replaced – as it stands out agains the rest of the teeth(colour). UL5 is also a crown that the dentist wants to replace (I think it’s more to match colour, not sure if this is needed, although it is a little loose but has never bugged me). What type of follow up treatment should I expect to have after this amount of work, as I want to be prepared for what needs to be done in the future. Sorry, it’s a long list of questions and I hope it’s not too confusing. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards
