Would a bridge be best for replacing my old crowns?
Tuesday, June 26th, 2012My crown has darkened, should I have it replaced or have a veneer put over it?
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012I have a crown that the tooth under the crown has darkened. This is a front tooth and in this case the gums are receding somewhat. Can a crown have a venere placed on it vice having the crown replaced when it appears to have darkened? There has been no pain resulting from this and as yet no discomfort at all. The crown is spmething over 40 years old. If the crown must be replaced can you please describe the procedure and possible complications?
Is it at all possible to have teeth whitened if you have a crown?
Friday, December 3rd, 2010My question is on behalf of my wife for whom I would like to arrange teeth whitening for her birthday in May.
The problem is that she has a crown on one of her front teeth that has been there for over thirty years.
We have been advised by our own dentist that she would be unable to have her teeth whitened because of the crown.
Can you please advise if this is the case, or is there any dental technique that can overcome this problem?
Is it possible to have my crown removed to avoid damage when having a root canal?

What is the process for crown and veneer replacement and how does a gum graft procedure work?
Thursday, November 18th, 2010Hi Mark, I was the victim of violent crime some 10 years ago where I21 and 22 were knocked out, taking much of the surrounding gum tissue and bone with them and I 11 was cracked in half. I received treatment at the Leeds Dental Institute back in 2001 where they placed two implants, abutments and crowns in and cemented then veneered I11. It was decided by the surgeons at the time that, due to the large amount of discharging bone fragments, that to risk a gum graft was not sensible. Therefore I currently have a slight lack of gum surrounding I21 / 22. I am not happy with the positioning or visibility of the crowns today. Recent x-rays show that the implants are perfectly healthy with no further receeding of the surrounding tissue or bone. I am interested in understanding the process for replacing both crowns and the veneer to more aethetically pleasing versions, combined with a tooth whitening process. At the same time I would like to specifically understand how a gum graft can be factored into this proceedure and what the inherent risks are today and the likely costs of such treatments. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
