My upper canine tooth is broken but the root is still intact. The x-ray shows that the roots are healthy and strong. I have been given options between a post and core treatment and a dental implant. My question is - is it wise to save whatever is left of the teeth and go for post and core? In case I go for post and core will there be a possibility of its failure in future? If it fails what options will I be left with? Or is it better to directly go with an implant now? I am a 25years old female
I cracked my left second molar on my upper jaw while eating. It cracked to the gum line. My dentist said that the best option is to place a crown not a filling. I'm a 27 year old male and have never needed any dental work done, I've not had any major cavities so I'm feeling a bit self conscious that I need a crown on my tooth at this young of an age and I'm hoping this doesn't mean my teeth are on their way out. Is it rare for people my age to have any crowns in their mouth?
I just finished invisalign to improve my smile. During treatment, the front laterals were pushed out to create spacing with the intent to use bonding to bulk them up. They are now recommending 4 crowns instead as the teeth have multiple fillings and to better match color. It looks like theres still 70% of the original tooth after fillings. Im only 28, so Im hesitant to undergo something so invasive. Would 3/4 crowns, veneers or bonding be better if the primary goal is cosmetic?
34M. Dentist suggested full set of crowns up top (~$23k) to fix gaps, yellowing, and chipped/worn teeth. After much back and forth and concerns about these issues in temps, the permanents still feel bulky and too far forward in my mouth. They've pushed my upper lip forward (negatively) and I can feel them pressing into my mouth. Shape is OK but faces look rounded. Is this normal/unavoidable? Can I get crowns that more closely mimic natural teeth, particularly their flatness (at least mine)?
hi, i'm 28 , i'm white but not super white (north african) , so i had my zirconium crowns done (all my teeth) , i chooses bleaching in first then i saw this video on youtube someone had bleaching veneers and omg they look fake miles away, and i changed my mind to the whitest natural shade b1 .Now i'm confused in some lighting they look yellowish color even in the natural lights looks not as white as the artificial lights, i contacted my dentist he said that was my choice. what do you think?
I have a crown on one of my central incisors that I got when I was 14, but I'm 28 now and would like a whiter smile. The crown is still in good shape, except for a dark line at the gum line, but it still matches the colour of my teeth. What are my options? Will I be forced to replace a perfectly good crown for a whiter smile?
My front four teeth have recently had root canals and all porcelain crowns placed on .Whilst they look better than when the accident happened theres a few things I would like changing with them.(whitening, gum sculpting and getting rid of the slant they currently have) I am only 25 so have accepted I will need to get my crowns redone a couple of times in my life. My only concern is whether the tooth underneath will be strong enough for this? I really want to avoid implants/bridges.
Last month I replaced a crown that I got when I was 16 (now 28) as in the last year I developed 2 fistulas above my right incisors. I had multiple canal treatments and both teeth were extracted. A week later, I had a temporary crown fitted (final crown to be fitted 6-12 months later). By then the gum above the incisor had already receded a bit. Now, 2 weeks later the gap is even wider despite starting to use Gengigel. It really affects my speech & self confidence. Any suggestions are appreciated
Lateral incisor is slightly pushed back and has excess gum on the top corner. I feel it ruins my smile. I wanted to have the little piece of gum removed by laser- but the issue is that behind that piece of gum is not a tooth- just more gum. The tooth has a natural chip in the top corner which the gum grew into. I was told I need to fill that space with something after I laser out the gum. In the pics you can see I have the same issue w/ both lateral incisors, but its prominent on the left side
I am potentially looking to do 24 veneers/crowns combination. Do you think this is the best option or would bonding and bleaching repair my smile? Looking for longevity as well as a nice smile. Kind regards
