I have recently got 2 crowns done. And they both have a gab between the gum line and crown margin. Also the bite went slightly forward and the top teeth do no ho over the new crowns like they do on the other side. Instead they are hitting the crowns. I got them redone but there was not much of a change and now the doctor is telling me that he will not be redoing these crowns and that they are done correctly and wont refund me either.
I have had my zirconium crowns (10 upper and 10 lower) for 4 years, no issues. I returned to the same practise for a check up, who advised they are more than happy with the oral hygiene and only slight adjustments/polish was made. I was very anxious and sought a 2nd opinion, where the 2nd dentist adjusted my bite as he said I had high points when biting (from the biting papers). He filed the crowns down, which now feel very rough . I am frightened that they are damaged :( Marks can be seen?
A piece broke off my topback molar. The x-ray doesn't show that I need a root canal but when the doctor did a bite test it hurts when I bite on something with a lot of pressure. He suggested a zirconium crown and said that its a possibility that I need a root canal later. He would drill a whole on it if I need it. Today's technology why can I get a better scan to confirm that root canal is needed or not? Also how can a Zirconium crown be drilled without any damage! I'm sceptica
Hi!! I had a dental crown placed on my back molar after a root canal in Oct 2022. I had issues with my bite and had to have my crown filed down. In January, my dentist noticed an open margin and had to replace the crown. Since it was replaced, it is much shorter than my original crown and the tooth next to it is now hitting with more force than before. I think the dentist made this crown shorter bc of my original bite issues, but it looks like a mini tooth. Is this normal? Help!
Last week I went to my dentist to address the tightness in my jaws. I told him that my bite feels low and I can only feel my left back teeth touch (where I had crown placed) when I clench hard. Dentist did a ink bite test and showed me that all my teeth were touching and made me feel as if I was wasting his time with my concern. Im having headaches and it hurts my jaws to put my teeth together. Everything feels off and my jaws are constantly tight. He said I just need to give it time to adjust.
I recently got a new crown. The dentist left cement on that crown, and it's cemented to the tooth next to it such that I can't floss. When I bite down on something hard enough on this tooth (like a piece of steak), I feel some pain. Will removing the cement solve this problem? Or is it more likely that it is a high spot?
I had a second full upper bridge installed. The dentist had to wing it since my original impressions are gone. Now I have headaches every day, all day for 4 months. I've been back to the dentist and he keeps tweaking but we cannot seem to locate the discrepancy in the bite. Is there another type do for that would be able to clearly see what may be wrong? A dental imaging or something? Need your advice please
After the dentist placed a CEREC crown on my back molar 6 months ago, I have returned to their office 5 times for bite adjustments. The crown still feels large in my mouth. It rubs against my cheek, and my bite feels uneven. Since it hurts to bite down, I sought out a second opinion. At the second dentist's office I had an x-ray done. The second dentist filed down my crown some more. My crown is still not comfortable. My bite feels weird. What could be wrong? The adjustments are not helping.
I just got a crown placed that made my bite too high on that side. I returned and expected the crown to be filed to fix the bite, but instead, the dentist filed some of the tooth above it first, then filed the crown down a bit. I thought it fixed it, but now I feel a higher bite on the other side. Why would she touch the tooth above that wasn't the problem then address the crown that was the issue? Do I have to find someone else now to fix what this dentist did? My bite was fine before this.
