It is not advised to do any do it yourself dentistry. In this and any situation super glue does not work and could actually cause harm. If your implant it out of your bone you should visit a dentist and have it inspected as soon as possible. From your description I'm guessing its actually the crown on top of the implant. For this scenario leave the crown off and visit your dentist as they can hopefully just re-cement it on as long as there are not any other complications.&nbsp;

My dental implant has come out after 20/30 years can I just refit it with say super glue?

Anytime a dental prosthesis breaks its recommended to have it checked out by a dentist to determine what should be done. Its hard to say without seeing the situation but if your bridge has metal underneath it still could be strong enough to last a little while. If its all porcelain and either way I would make sure you are very gentle with it until you can get to a place that a professional can take a look.&nbsp;

I have a porcelain bridge in my front teeth. I just got it but I cracked the inside of the porcelain tooth, there's a horizontal line at the back of the porcelain and the front shows the inside crack. I am afraid that it'll get worse or might break the porcelain tooth horizontally. Is there a chance that it'll happen? I'm living abroad and the place where I'm at doesn't have dentist and can"t speak English. I'm so scared that it'll get worse by day and I don't know what to do if it will break.

I cracked the inside of the porcelain tooth and I don't know what to do. Will it break or will the crack get worse?

Zirconia is one of the hardest materials we use in dentistry. Because of this adjusting and polishing can be difficult however there are many products made for this exact purpose. Your concerns are legitimate as any surface can attract plaque and&nbsp;rough surfaces&nbsp;are no exception. I would recommend visiting your dentist to have this problem resolved. Hopefully this can be done in the office but if there was an error with lab processing and the entire surfaces of all the crowns are this way they may need to be remade.&nbsp;

My previous crowns were absoloutely smooth. My replacements are ridged/grooved, some back teeth have a dip/ cavity food gets stuck to them, I clean themfrequently they feel unclean, my tongue is raw due to being drawn to them. They're extremely uncomfortable, this will encourage plaque build up it's not hygenic. I think my crowns were not polished/finished properly before fitting. Please advise about the correct finish of zirconium crowns and what I should do about it. MT London

Recently had zirconium crowns fitted. I don't like the surface, it isn't smooth. I don't think they were polished properly.

Veneers are made of a variety of materials with the most common and aesthetically pleasing ones being made of a mixture of minerals known as ceramic. These materials mimic natural tooth appearance in shape, texture and color. All should be inspected&nbsp;for fit and function before delivery to ensure the patients approval in both appearance and&nbsp;feel.&nbsp;

I would like to get veneers but I don't want to get them if they feel weird in my mouth

Do veneers feel like real teeth?

Nothing we do in dentistry typically last forever. With that being said the average lifespan of materials can vary depending on how well you take care of it. Just because a crown has been in service for X number of years does not necessitate replacement. It is only when we can make a diagnosis of disease that warrants treatment. In other words your crown could last much longer and only when an issue arises will the decision to replacement come about.&nbsp;If a crown develops a problem treatment can range from a simple repair to extracting the whole tooth depending on the diagnosis.

I'm thinking of getting a dental crown to cover up some decay on two of my teeth. I'm only 21 years old. To my knowledge dental crowns can last from anything from 5-15 years. I'll be getting a porcelain crown if possible for the best cosmetic look possible. They may last longer in some cases. Will the tooth be extracted or can another dental crown be placed and have another 10-15 years. Summary: What typically happens after a crown has reached it's life span?

What happens after the life span of a dental crown?

If the crowns were recently placed it may just be post operative trauma from cleaning around the gums after the crowns were cemented on.&nbsp;If this was the case keeping the area clean and rinsing with a warm saltwater rinse can help the healing process. If its not resolved in about three days return to your dentist as there may still be cement retained or other issues they should check out.&nbsp;

I got new crowns for front teeth on Monday, my gums around teeth are swollen and hurt anything I can do for swelling to go down and the discomfort? Thank you

Gums hurt after new crowns, what can I do?

Its possible that the tooth next to the crown could have been the culprit all along. Its also possible that the correct tooth was treated but may need more treatment to get it completely fixed. Or both teeth could have cracks in them.&nbsp;Cracks in teeth are hard to predict and cure. If a crown has not solved the problem then the tooth may also need a root canal or extracted. First step will&nbsp;to check and see where the pain you are feeling is coming from.&nbsp;

It all started with sharp pain when I was chewing food. But it only hurt when chewing. I went to the dentist and it was very hard to repeat the pain and find out which tooth it was, and nothing showed on the x-rays. It was decided that a molar needed a crown because there was an undetectable crack. So I got a crown and I have the permanent in now. I am not sure if the almost same pain when chewing is the crown or the tooth next to it. I did chew on the temporary and did think I noticed the pain.

Is my crown causing pain or the tooth next to it?

I&nbsp;would make your concerns clear with your dentist as sometimes the temp is used as a guide for the permanent bridge. Most of the time the final bridge which is made very carefully in the lab fits and feels much better than a chair-side fabricated temp so don't be overly worried but still bring it up just in case.&nbsp;

Got a temporary bridge on my bottom. They are so long and thin not like normal teeth. What do I do?

It appears for some reason the enamel in that area is missing. This most commonly&nbsp;can happen from trauma&nbsp;or normal wear and tear from eating or brushing. The location and appearance is a bit unique in your circumstance so its hard to say what caused it without a full investigation or history. Either way the fix is relatively simple and and dentist should be able to get it repaired.&nbsp;

It’s not a complete hole, it just appears as if someone may have carved a circle in my tooth without removing the inside. Any idea as to what has caused this? Can I fix it? See attached pictures.

Can anyone explain this “engraved” circle in my tooth? (Photos)

Unfortunately the ceramic cannot be whitened. The issue you have with the yellowness may be from the glue that is used to put them on so I would recommend visiting your dentist to have that checked out as removing it will make those areas appear whiter.&nbsp;Since you have noticed them getting darker they could be forming some surface stain which can be polished off however.&nbsp;

I recently got 20 emax crowns. Originally wanted BL1 but after trying them on I asked for BL2. Dentist made them Bl4 but I didn't realise until already cemented on. When dentist realised this she started to manually remove the makeup they put on the teeth to make them darker. She made them a Bl2/3. during the day I can see yellow areas around the tooth. They have darkened in the past 3 weeks. Because they were originally a BL1 is it possible for the veneers to be polished to a whiter shade?
