I’m unhappy with my new crowns, they’re not at all like imagined they would be. Am I stuck with them?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
Q.
I’ve always wanted to have my smile improved and decided that after many years i would look into getting my teeth crowned, i had chipped, discoloured and filled teeth all along the front row. I eventually had the work done but im not happy with the overall result, they’re not like I imagined they would be, they’re more yellow than white, they’re too big and the finish along the gum line is ‘chunky’. Apparently that’s because they were NHS and not private, surely this should not make a difference and I shouldn’t have to accept this. Can they be improved or am i stuck with them ? I’d appreciate your advice.,

Is my dentists charging me for work that I might not need or may not even be right for me?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi – I want to my NHS dentist this morning in Essex, and I am a little concerned on something. Two years ago, I had a dental implant (front tooth) and recently it is chipping away around the sides and looking a little gappy. Firstly, he did not remember it was him that put the actual implant in. Secondly, I did not realise this until now, but he has booked me in to come back for a crown on this tooth. Is this normal, or would he think that it is only a crown on the tooth rather than implant? Thirdly, I obv paid for this already, when it was originally done. He is charging me again, is this right? Many thanks if you can help, because I am concerned about paying all the money again and not getting a proper job done.,

Can I get my dental bridge correcting under the NHS, instead of private?

Monday, August 2nd, 2010
Q.
I have recently had a bridge fitted under NHS. My canine tooth was crowned and the colour match is awful. I was told that I had agreed the colour was okay, but it was impossible to tell until I saw it in daylight. My dentist has told me I can have the tooth bleached but will have to have this done privately. He also said tooth whitening toothpaste might help. I feel the colour should be corrected under nhs. I would value your opinion.,
