Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Q.
HI! I was at then dentist today and was told that I require five fillings, four amalgam at the back of my mouth and a composite filling at the front, I already have alot of Amalgam fillings and I have heard storys of the mercury from them leaking into your blood stream, are they harmful?? would I be better looking to get white fillings?? and get the amalgam ones i already got replaced?. Alot of my fillings are at the back of my mouth and I read that almagam are stronger than white fillings. Could you please advise. Thankyou.

smashing one of my front teeth

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Q.
I had an accident about 6 years ago which resulted in me smashing one of my front teeth. After some root work i had a crown fitted but it was a really bad fit and very noticable. I had to wait until a few weeks ago to get it redone as i could not afford it. I have now got my temporay crown in and goingback next week to get the new porcelin crown fixed. As i also have a gap i am getting a porcelin veneer in my other front tooth to close the gap. It is costing me over £2000. My issue is that the main reason i wanted to get it sorted is the black line on the top of my tooth. My dentist originally told me that with the porcelin crown and a white post this would be illiminated but when i went in to get my old crown removed and the temporay fitted he said that my old tooth is very black and so i can not get rid of the black line. This is very gutting for me as i still feel it looks really bad. I feel really annoyed that i am paying all this money but am still going to come away with the unsightly black gum! Is there anything that i can do? Shoudl i contact my dentist to discuss before my finla appointment?

I have been quoted of £730 for Chameleon Porcelain Jacket crown

Monday, August 4th, 2008
Q.
I have a quote of £730 for Chameleon Porcelain Jacket Crown for LR6. Part broke off at the gum which was patched up but there is another fracture down middle so needs crown. Obviously I want to reduce price and metal one on NHS is an alternative since lower molar not a big aesthetic issue. However are there other alternatives to chameleon PJC for this tooth which are functionally as good but cheaper?

How much do UK crowns cost compared to Poland

Friday, July 25th, 2008
Q.
Hi. My wife has returned from Poland after some dental work. We always wanted to have a holiday there and she needed 4 veneers replacing so we combined the two. We had a fab time and the Polish dentist could not have been more proffessional. There is a small issue however with her 2 front teeth, and whilst the dentist gave a 2 year gaurantee, and has said he will happily replace them free of charge, im reluctant to continue as more flights, hotel bills, and holidays are involved, and if there was a further problem it would get too expensive, hence having the work done here. Anyway, the 4 teeth at the front were to have replacement veneers done, but on inspection the dentist suggested having the front 2 made into crowns as the teeth protruded. This was done and my wife is over the moon with her flatter 2 front teeth and now rounded top set of teeth, and the 2 teeth either side having the veneers replaced. After returning we have noticed in some light that the 2 front teeth have a sort of dark shade on them ? and, one of them looks like you can see very faintly the yellowish tooth underneath ? Is this possible with crowns ? do you see the tooth underneath sometimes ? what is the dark area that is apparent under certain light ? she is not 100% happy and i think they will need replacing, unfortunately adding to the cost. How much are UK crowns ? and is it possible to match them up to the 2 new veneers ? (1 each side)

I want to replace my PFM crowns to eliminate the grey lines

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008
Q.
I need to get two old PFM front crowns replaced (they have metal posts) and two veneers to match. My own dentist said that I cannot have all porcelain crowns because of the posts and that he’ll have to do PFG crowns. I am desperately unhappy with my teeth and want to eliminate the gray lines on my crowns too. I’ve been told its a complex job to match 4 teeth – veneer-crown-veneer-crown. How can I find a cosmetic dentist who can do what I need. Can I still get porcelain crowns. I’m a low earner but what to invest in good work so I can finally not be embarrassed about my teeth (its causing severe depression and is ruining my life). I live in London but travel to Glasgow frequently. Would it be less expensive to get it down own of the capital? How much more expensive are porcelain crowns. My own dentist quoted £800 for the PFM. I don’t know where to turn. I need to resolve this in order to be able to live a normal life 🙁
