I’m Looking For A Decent New Crown To Improve My Appearance. But Would A Dental Implant Be A Better Option?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark, I would like your advice. Some years ago I broke my front tooth and had a crown fitted. I also had root canal treatment on the tooth so there’s no nerve there. I had my original tooth ground down to a little peg for a new crown over the years on the NHS, which is nothing like my other teeth! Now I’m looking to pay for a decent new crown as I want to improve the appearance! My gum is black above the tooth, is there anyway to remove that? Would a dental implant be better for me? Thank you for your reply.

Am I Too Old For Implants?

Monday, March 17th, 2014
Q.

Hello there, I wondered if you could help me with my problem. I am a sixty-one year old woman, and have had two large gaps on either side of my lower jaw since I was a child. I have experimented with dentures in the past, but I found them to be an inconvenience to me. Would you say I was too old for dental implants, and are my gums too thin to have implants fitted? A big problem I have is that I find that I struggle when it comes to chewing food, and have always wanted to have my teeth sorted out professionally. I do not have many teeth, and I would really like to have a full set of working ones! Thank you.

I’m not happy with my crown, what should I do?

Wednesday, July 4th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, wondered if you could help me with something? I just got a custom made zirconia abutement made and a zirconium crown put in. It was for a front tooth very close to the middle of my lower jaw. My question is why is the abutement so big for such a small space and the crown was very big and thick in the back and when over the back of my natural gum line. I thought of this is that the abutement is not custom made???? And the work he done of my crown was very poor.The dentist told me he made the crown to be bigger on the back to cover the custom made abutement. I don’t understand why a custom made abutment in the first place is so big and looks like a pre-fabricated one to me.
