Should I ve to pay again to get my crown redone?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
About 6 Months ago I had a root canal and crown done on one of my teeth, via a private practise, this was paid by a loan arranged by the dental centre (interest free). Last Tuesday I went to get a check up and clean completed and talked about a weird smell and taste coming from that tooth, the dentist took a few xrays and said all teeth are looking really good, and finished the clean and booked me in for next checkup 6 months time, On the saturday whilst flossing, my crown fell out and it didn’t smell to great (blackness around where crown was). I’ve made a booking to see the dentist on weds this week. So the question is where do I stand, since I paid nearly £850 last time, and it has last only about 6 months (cleaned twice a day and mouth washed), and I can’t afford to be paying that out again and again, btw I do have one of their practice plans (under £10 a Month)

Will the gold crown fitted will stop the tooth to flex?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
I have a fractured back tooth. My dentist finds that the nerve is not infected and I agree because it is not sensitive to hot and cold and if the tooth isn’t touched it feels okay. However, my concern is that the tooth is sensitive when under pressure and I presume this is because any pressure allows movement, however small, of the fracture. At the moment I have a temporary crown in place, awaiting a permanent fitting. Would it be expected that when the gold crown is fitted that will stop the ability of the tooth to flex. Can anything be done underneath the crown to gain stability? Many thanks.

Should I have to repeat the root canal treatment?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
I had a root canal done on my upper back tooth 4 years ago and recently it has begun to hurt when i bite on it or tap the tooth. Does this mean i will have to have the procedure repeated or will antibiotics get rid of the pain? I had a check up approx 4 weeks ago and an x-ray and nothing adverse was shown. Thanks

Is its true that crowns cannot last for long?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I had 3 crowns done over 25 years ago and theyre still going strong but above 2 of them, the gums are receding slightly. Is there anything I can do, to alleviate this. My dentist wants me to have them redone but I am concerned about the expense and also I have been told that these days, crowns only last 10 years. Is this true and why. I would like to hold onto mine for as long as possible as I have a fear of the dentist. Thankyou.

Can I ve veneer bonded to the tooth rather than a crown?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am getting a root canal on one of my front teeth (upper right incisor). I had some work done on this same tooth last yr by a different dentist, it was already slightly discoloured so he did something to it and made it nice and healthy looking again (I think it may have been a composite filling or something?) I have been advised by the dentist I am having the root canal from that this tooth will discolour after the root canal. Will this still be the case despite the composite filling? If so, would it be possible to have a veneer bonded to the tooth rather than a crown? If I did have a crown would it be more noticeable than a veneer? Thank you

Can I hv lengthy treatment to fix my front teeth?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Q.
I wonder if you can help. I have crowded top front teeth and went through a few years of wearing a fixed appliance as a teenager and although I didn’t think necessary it must have been. However I still have crooked teeth as they have moved over time. the teeth on either side of my front teeth protrude pushing the front 2 back slightly. I have spoken to my dentist but he says it doesn’t seem worth having further orthodontal work. He also advised that it would age my teeth significantly by undertaking further treatment. I would love to get them fixed and would appreciate any advice. I am reluctant to undertake lengthy treatment again.
