I have had a Crown and Post in a front tooth fir 30+ years and never had an issue, it has recently fallen out twice, One Dr is suggesting an Implant, but I just dont want to put out of pocket $3000, my insurance is picking up the balance, almost $2000. Another Dr is suggesting a new Crown and a double post, which I cant find any information about on line. I have no other Dental issues at all, thats why he is suggesting this. Which is what I can certainly afford Im 59 years old.
Three of my crowned front broke off at the gum line today. I'm confused about what to do and I have no idea what procedure I should be looking at when I go to the dentist Monday. I have blue Cross blue shield dental insurance but I am a 60 year old female on a fixed income. What kind of price range and I looking at. Any information on this topic would greatly be appreciated. Confused in Memphis TN.
In the last year, the only drink I have added to my water only world has been La Croix sparkling soda water and my eating has been the same. My front teeth are loosing enamel on the tips and a tiny piece has chipped off on one tooth. I'm a 61yo healthy woman with very good teeth.
63 year male, broken #13. Deep filling had decay and inner half broke off near bone level below gum. Dentists have said there is adequate structure remaining but needs to have gum cut away for P&C. Only 50% to 80% chance of long term success is offered for P&C, restoration may last 1 month to 15 years. Bridge life unknown. I know costs for extraction and bridge, a P&C crown, but not for post, root canal and associated work for P&C. How do I decide whether to keep to tooth or extract ?
I have had the crown only a week and after brushing my teeth before bed, I wake up with a nasty mouth in the night. It seems to get more pronounced as the days go by. I feel a coating on my teeth and gums on the cheek side. I have maintained daily brushing, routine dental cleanings, and this is not my first crown. I did not have this problem with the others. I am 61 years old, have problems with cracked teeth (reason for crowns), and am lactose intolerant.
I visited the dentist 3 years ago regarding worn out teeth due to bruxism and chronic headaches. The dentist diagnosed a malocclusion and suggested orthodontics followed by reconstruction (17 crowns ) and the first 5 crowns on my upper front teeth have just been cimented permanently. I like the fit, the shape but not the color. The dentist filed down the surfaces to remove some of the yellowish color and polished them to make them more shiny. I do not see any difference in the color.
I am a 57 year old male. I am scheduled to have almost a full mouth restoration in October. 20 zirconia crowns (10 upper, 10 lower), almalgam fillings in remaining molars replaced with composite resin. A Digital impression with be made and to my understanding the crowns are shaped by a CAD/CAM machine. Here is my concern. How can I be assured the new crowns will look like my natural teeth and not dentures? (too straight and too white looks fake to me) Please suggest a shade for my age. TY
