There are relatively few choices to replace the back teeth. You will either need a removable prosthesis (a partial denture) or implants. Those are really the only choices.There are several ways to use dental implants though. If bridges are too expensive you can use implants to hold a partial denture. In that way you avoid metal or plastic hooks on your own teeth. This is not ideal but would be less expensive than bridges. You can also have a precision or semi-precision partial denture where you have retention built into your new crowns so that you can avoid unsightly metal display.Hope this helps.Dr. Cary Ganz
Possible I guess yes, probable no. If the crown is made correctly it can only go on in one way. For it to go on backwards the tooth would either have to be prepared the same on both sides or else the crown will not fit.The real answer is that for the crown to go on backwards would normally mean that it does not fit once cemented or bondedGet it removed and remade.Dr. Cary Ganz
Sorry to hear about your problem. the good news is that it is easy to fix. The best solution, without seeingyour actual problem, is usually porcelain veneers. These are thin porcelain shells that are custom made to repair whatever problems exist and are bonded permanently to your teeth. They are long lasting, healthy for the gum tissue and great to look at.Good luck.Dr. Cary Ganz
Sorry but the images you show really don't help. The one suggestion I would make is that before any final restoration is placed that you get a chance to approve them. Never allow crowns of any kind to be permanently cemented without your permission.Hope this helps.Dr. Ganz
My suggestion would be to go back to the dentist and see if he/she can create a new retainer or aligner to move the tooth instead of bonding. If this is a healthy tooth it's always better to move it rather than restoring it. Restorations require maintenance and should be avoided if possibleHope this helps.Dr. Ganz
