Suggested crown for my cracked teeth is not affordable

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Q.
Hi, Today at work one of my back teeth has cracked- it has a 10 year old filling inside. I’ve been advised it’ll probably need a crown. However I’m petrified of the dentist and have to be sedated when I go. How much will the work cost and if I took out private dental insurance, would it cover the work? I know it’ll be about £400 but that’s half my wages so won’t be able to afford it! Please advise in anyway possible. Many Thanks

The replaced crown has not changed my cosmetic appearance

Monday, November 9th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Moore My dentist recently fitted a new (procera inceram) crown for me to replace an old crown. It is my big front incisor on the top. He has done a good job with the shape and colour but I can still see a blue line at the margn. My natural smile shows my gum line and the main reason I asked for a new crown was that several friends got crowns that seem to be like real teeth and have subgingival margins. When I asked my dentist for a new crown I made it clear money was not a consideration and that cosmetic appearance was my priority regardless of cost. But on fitting my new crown it is most definitely at least half a mil short of my gums and not much of an improvement over my last crown. Should I sack the dentist I have had since a child on the grounds he is a dinosaur. or should I quietly go behind his back?

Please help me in reshaping my teeth

Friday, November 6th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Moore I am Writing concerning a special case of cosmetic dentistry i am interested in. I am looking for a way of reshaping 8 of my teeth (the top and bottom canines and top and bottom lateral incisors). I wanted to consult you as to the feasibility of this, and secondly if it is a service you can provide as it is reshaping the teeth rather than trying to return them to a normal shape. The effect i am after is for the canines themselves to be slightly expended (approximately 1 or 2mm) and both them and the lateral incisors to be more pointed. The intent is to be a subtle effect and must be acceptable for still eating/chewing etc. I realize in itself this request is rather unusual, but i was hoping even if you yourself cannot provide this service you might be able to point me in the direction of those who could. On that note, if you can provide this service, how much would it cost? for all 8 teeth and which would be the best way of approaching this? I would greatly appreciate any help your expertise could lend to this matter.

What can be done to a half broken tooth surfacing below gum-line?

Friday, November 6th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have just returned from a visit to my dentist today. My appointment was for preparation for a crown on upper molar, second from back. This tooth had broken in half followng root canal treatment and filling 5 years ago. My current dentist put a temporary cover on it and we left it for six months to ensure that the seal hadn’t been breached. When he removed the temporary today he advised he would be unable to save the tooth as what was left of the tooth was partially below the gum-line rendering a crown that would not be viable. He suggested either a bridge, which he felt was not a good option due to the grinding down of the adjacent teeth and suggested an implant at a cost of £2,000. Having done some research on the internet some sites have said that crowns can be placed even if there is only a root left (that has had root canal treatment) and a post can be inserted into the root for the crown to be attached to. Can you advise if this is a possibility please? I look forward to your response. Many thanks.

Will crown lengthening procedure affect in having an implant?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
I had a crown on my front incisor, next to big tooth, and the tooth broke at gum level. I have had a root filling and a post put in with a temporary crown.

Is this the best solution and will it affect my being able to have an implant if there was a problem with the tooth in the future as I understand they remove some bone? Thanks
