I have sensitive teeth after a cerec crown

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Q.
I have one Cerec crown and due to have more. However I am nervous as when preparing this particular tooth some of the dentine of the tooth has been left exposed. It is sensitive to cold (wasn’t a problem before) but has settled down a little. My dentist coated the area but I am not happy about it. Having had this treatment done on this tooth I feel it should have been better than this. Please could you advise what to do and whether to trust this would not happen to the other planned teeth.

I need to replace my bridge for 3 teeth

Sunday, June 29th, 2008
Q.
Hello Dr Suri I’ve had a bridge at the lower rear left side of my mouth for many years and it needs replacing. It covers the area of 3 teeth. I have changed dentist who is recommending instead of having a new bridge,to have two crowns and a dental implant for the missing tooth in the middle. Is this the way forward?! Which do you consider to be the best option? I’m healthy in my mid-30\s.

My crown doesn’t fit its too high

Saturday, June 28th, 2008
Q.
I was wearing a temp crown that fitted perfectly for 3 weeks. Tooth third in from the back lower left incl wisdom. Yesterday my dentist fitted my permanent crown which I told him felt very high, I had no bite contact on the opposite side at all. He told me that it can take up to 4 months for the tooth to ‘bed in’!?. Also, when I got home I noticed that on the outside the crown sits snugly into the gum but on the inside it is way short, 2mm off the gum and one can see an unsightly black line around the base as well as being able to feel a ridge where the crown ends. I have left a message for the dentist to call me which he is doing tomorrow. Is my crown a mal fitting one and should I inside that it is re made please.

How much would lumineers cost on my discoloured front teeth

Monday, June 23rd, 2008
Q.
Hey, when I was at school i fell on my front two teeth. They went very discoloured and had to have root canal treatment. After i had my braces off i had them bleached. They look ok but they are still discoloured epsecially near the top and i really do not like it. As being at university i havent exactly got lots of money. however my 21st birthday is coming up and depending on price i was wondering how much lumineers would be. Also i was wondering can you have just the two front teeth done, would they match or just look weird? Also the two front teeth are really fragile, my dentist expected them to snap after a few years but they seem to have been fine. Would that matter to what treatment i would need. Would it be best to get false ones? How would this work? Sorry its so long. Thankyou for your help.
