Asked By:Calm109068 in Drummoyne, New South Wales, Australia
3rd time replacing my crown after a bad fall and it chipped 2 teeth including my front tooth.10 years passed and I recently experienced some gum leakages and sores on the front crown. I had a root canal done to 2 teeth, my dentist now decided to do one tooth at a time. After 2 months back and forward I decided to stick with this one but now I’m doubting my decision there is gap and I can see my post will my gum cover the new crown? We already scraped one crown

Answer: Two crowns four upper central incisors may solve your problem
Hello.This can be a small remnant of any particle during porcelain production phase. Unfortunately you can not remove it on your own. Prosthesis need to be removed and sent to the lab to correct that
Hello. Inlay or onlay does not create enough support against fractures in dehydrated teeth which underwent root canal treatment. So, crowns will be a stronger and more durable solution
Hello. You can have inlay or onlays for restoration of related teeth after root canal treatment.The decision of crown or inlay/onlay depends on remanining tooth structure.
