What is the actual cost for crown replacement?
Q. Hi, is there any treatment for crowns ‘slipping’ from the gums. This has happened to around 4 of my crowns (they have been there for around 5 years). You can see where they have slipped by the darker colour between the gum and the tooth. My dentist has told me the only solution is to replace them which will cost approx.£1800. is this right??? They are all front teeth (top). Many thanks.
A. Hi many thanks for your email, this unfortunately is correct, generally when gum recession happens around crowns the only option is to remove the existing crowns and replace them with new ones. The cost for the crown work does seem reasonable if this is helpful.
