Q. MY FRONT RIGHT TOOTH WAS BROKEN AS A CHILD AT THE AGE OF NINE. A PERMANENT CAP WAS FITTED AT THE AGE OF 16, AND IS STILL ON NOW (I’M 38), SO THE CAP IS NOW 22 YEARS OLD. I HAVE NOTICED IT IS QUITE DISCOLOURED NEXT TO MY OWN TEETH, AND SITS LOWER ON TH GUMLINE. THE TOOTH TO THE RIGHT OF IT ALSO SITS SLIGHTLY BEHIND IT AND LOWER ON THE GUM LINE TOO. I AM SELF CONSCIOUS AND DON’T LIKE TO SMILE/TALK TO PEOPLE I DON’T KNOW WELL. WHAT WOULD BE MY BEST OPTION TO REPLACE IT, HOW MUCH SHOULD I EXPECT THE TREATMENT TO COST, AND HOW LONG COULD I EXPECT IT TO LAST?,
