I had a porcelain crown fitted last week to lower left 6. It required quite some filing to fit securley. This has caused a 1mm hole whereby the underlying metal filling is showing. Aesthetically this is not pleasing. I spoke to the dentist who is happy to replace with a precious metal as in thier view there is not enough tooth to sustain fitting a porcelain without having to re-file. I wonder if I am simply being fobbed off?
I have had an nhs porcelain crown fitted and it has now come away from the gum and there is a black rim showing as well as a gap between my gum and crown. My dentist informs me that if i have another NHS crown the same thing will happen and i need a private crown at a cost of £595 .. Is this correct?
i want to replace my crowns

I have just had a silver crown fitted to one of my teeth 2nd from the back bottom row. I really do not like the look of this, can I have it removed and fitted with a white crown?

I had a porcelain crown fitted and just over 12 months later it fractured. It was sent back to the lab but they would not admit any fault on their part. I had a new crown made to replace it and my dental clinic reduced the cost of this by £90 as good will. However that crown as now fractured in the same place as before and approx. after the same length of time. I have an appt. on Weds but would not be happy if I have to pay for a 3rd time. Where do i stand?
I have recently had Cosmetic Dentistry undertaken (6 weeks ago), which included a root canal, full porcelain crown and 7 porcelain veneers on my 8 upper front teeth. I am ecstatic with the result but I was wondering – If a veneer fell off, what could I expect to see in relation to how my natural tooth would look? Would it be filed down, grey, black? I didn’t like to ask my wonderful dentist as I felt I’d asked enough stupid questions. During a short break when I was having the treatment I went to the bathroom but never opened my mouth to look in the mirror as I was a little scared as to what I might see. Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
My boyfriend has to have root canal treatment and his dentist has offered him a metal coloured crown. I think a natural tooth colour would look better because he already has a large metal crown on the other side but his dentist advises him that the metal lasts longer. Is that correct?
