Dental Crown

Porcelain Veneers

Teeth Whitening

By your description alone your front teeth seem to be free of any restorations, if so I would suggest leaving them as is,&nbsp;or if your unhappy with the shade you can always have a whitening procedure done.&nbsp; If you would like to change the size &amp; shape of them then I would suggest&nbsp;veneers since&nbsp;they dont&nbsp;require&nbsp;your enamel to&nbsp;be reduced&nbsp;as much as a crown would.&nbsp; As far as your molars, unfortunately once a tooth has had a crown done you have to always replace it with another crown. Of course you would need an exam &amp; xrays to properly suggest any kind of treatment.

I am 46 y.o. and have many root canals and crowns (molars only). The overall appearance of my teeth is very nice and I receive compliments often on my smile. I told the dentist I am unhappy with the old molars (done by someone else, we've moved and this is a new dentist for me). The old molars are discolored and I was looking to replace them closer to uniform whiteness throughout. He immediately suggested crowning every tooth in my mouth. I saw no examples of veneers in his portfolio. Thx!

Why Does my Dentist Recommend Crowns Instead of Veneers? My Teeth Are Healthy

In most cases when a patient is experiencing pain where there is an &quot;old&quot; crown it is&nbsp;due to the tooth having decay under it.&nbsp; The most common reason&nbsp;is because it is&nbsp;no longer properly sealed &amp; bacteria is filtering in.&nbsp; Other times the crown may be properly sealed &amp; it is just reacting to the trauma caused by the actual preparation, which occasionally happens as well.&nbsp; Every case is different &amp; every dentist treats differently but I usually recommend taking the old crown off to properly evaluate &amp; see if there is enough tooth structure to properly do a root canal, post &amp; crown.&nbsp;Good Luck

My wife was recently told she needed a root canal after experiencing some pain under her old crown. The dentist also told her that after the root canal a new crown would be needed to replace the old one. After the root canal was done she went to have the new crown done but was told the existing tooth was to deteriorated for a crown. Is it normal for a root canal to be performed with the old crown in place? Thank you

Should a Root Canal Be Done with the Old Crown in Place??

Once a tooth has had a crown, a veneer is no longer an option.&nbsp; A veneers preparation of the tooth reduces a minimal amount of tooth structure on the front &amp; biting surface, a crown on the other hand is reduced all around.&nbsp; A full porcelain crown is a great way to achive a natural aesthetically pleasing smile since&nbsp;they look just as great as veneers do.

My husband has been visiting the dentist for the last three weeks. Week one was routine check-up and x-rays. Week two was periondontal scaling to the left, week three was periondontal scaling to the right side. Next week is removal of gold crowns and placement of temporary porcelain crowns until permanent crowns are ready. Our dentist told us this is the only option. I was wondering if veneers was an option-- our dentist didn&#39;t mention them at all!!! It six gold crowns in front....

After Removal of Gold Crowns Are Porcelain Veneers an Option or Only Porcelain Crowns?

The people you observed may have crowns that are porcelain with metal, after some time if periodontal problems are present there can be gum/bone&nbsp;loss causing the root &amp; or&nbsp;the metal to be exposed which does look dark.&nbsp; Now in between the teeth there may be other issues, they can have fillings that are not properly sealed which can darken over time &amp; even natural teeth&nbsp;can look darkened in the presence of periodontal problems or car.&nbsp; In your case&nbsp;a full porcelain crown is a great option since it looks very natural.&nbsp; There are some options as far as materials that can be used, so&nbsp;make sure to ask as many questions you need&nbsp;to see which will be your best option.

Hi. I had a root canal on my front tooth 10 years ago and now it's quite discolored. I'm about to get a porcelain <a href='/reviews/dental-crown'>crown</a>, but am hesitant if it would be the best approach. Should I just leave the discolored tooth alone? I'm not too confident with any of the dentists here on Dublin because it's hard to find information regarding their skills. Also, on occassion, I've seen people with black, darkened lines in between their gums and teeth. Are they cause by Crown or <a href='/Porcelain-veneers/reviews'>Veneer</a>, may I ask? Any views?

Would a Porcelain Crown Cause my Gums to Darken?

I always recommend my patients follow the rule &quot;if it will stain your clothes, it will stain your teeth&quot;.&nbsp; Some of those foods &amp; drinks include, but are not limited to red wine, cola,&nbsp;red sauces, coffee, dark teas, ketchup, mustard, soy sauce &amp; also avoid tobacco products.&nbsp; Other than that your safe, but if you absolutely cannot resist just make sure you floss &amp; brush right after.&nbsp; Remember following the after care&nbsp;instructions are crucial to achive the best result possible.

Are dark foods or acidic foods not recommended after a professional teeth whitening? Is this the same guideline for using whitening strips at home?

Are There Food Restrictions After Professional Teeth Whitening?

The cost is definitely something that holds people back from doing both upper &amp; lower veneers.&nbsp; I usually do only upper veneers &amp; whiten the bottom teeth so it does not look mismatched on the shade.&nbsp; Its a great way to change a smile without going over the budget. Obviously every case is different, it all depends on your over all oral health.

I have fairly yellowed teeth, hate my smile. I am a business professional and need to get some luster back. I am considering veneers, but am trying to determine approx how many teeth. Cost is always a consideration. If I went with 6 for example on topside, would it look ridiculous to not Veneer any bottom teeth? Not too keen about paying for 10-12 teeth @ 1k per tooth. 6k is probably about about my budget.

Can I Do Veneers On Upper Teeth Without Doing Lower Teeth To Save Money?
