Hello. I had a lower right incisor crown fitted and it appears and feels too big for my mouth, it also shows metal at the back of tooth and you can see a black outline were my gum is. Is this normal? I cannot close my teeth together or they rub off each other. It looks to big when you look at the back and feel the front with your finger. I’m very disappointed with the work that was carried out. What should I do and how should it look? Thank you.
Please Dr Patel, I am 16 years old and I had one of my incisors removed at the age of 12 because I had a tooth which was not growing under the gum but above it. Up until now that tooth has not grown and I only have two incisors on my upper jaw. One out of the two, which I mentioned earlier and the other one removed and has refused to grow. I also have gaps in between my teeth. Please doctor I really need your help with this, it’s really been hard for me to smile in the past four years because I don’t want people to get disgusted as that is how disgusting I feel my dentition currently is. Thank you, I hope you can provide me with any information or advice.
hi, i have a peg right lateral incisor and a missing left lateral incisor. i also have gaps (not between the incisors). i asked the local dentist about doing crowning on the peg tooth but she didnt think it was a good idea. she suggests that i wear braces first. i am studying abroad from the country where i live. so i can’t do braces. because it requires monthly visits. what do u suggest? please help
Hello Dr Hughes,
Do you think that it is possible to have the dental treatment? As my last dentist has now retired and i have found it difficult to find a dentist i can trust after all the problems i have suffered with my teeth. I also read that apicetomies have a low success rate. Could this be why infection keeps coming back, i hope to hear from you soon.
My top incisor grew in the wrong direction.Rather than growing regularly, it made a 180 degree angle while it was growing. I hope you understand what I’m trying to describe, it dificult to describe.I want to know if there is any way to correct that tooth.If so what would it be and what would the price be like?
Thanks In Advance!
i have been quoted £389 for a veneer on my upper right incisor. I had root canal on the tooth and now it has started to turn grey. Do you think that is a good price for the work and is a porcelain veneer my best option?
Hello Doctor Caplan, 3 years ago I knocked out my front right central incisor. The tooth was replaced at A’n’E but it failed to re-graft. Shortly afterward my 2 central incisors and left lateral incisor have had root canal treatment which has worked well up until now although the teeth are discoloring and are not straight. I am considering having 3 maybe 4 implants to replace my front teeth. Can you offer me a ball park figure on the cost of this treatment? I understand the need to take a closer look before quoting an accurate price but I just want an estimate.
Thanks
I have a very small gap in my front teeth, and a larger gap between the front tooth and the lateral incisor. My teeth are straight and are healthy, it’s just that there are these gaps between them. I feel too old for braces as next year I’ll be going to university and really wouldn’t appreciate having braces at this stage in my life. Is there any other possible solutions to close the gaps? Even just the larger gap between the central incisor and the lateral incisor? Thank-you.
