So I have gotten two crowns (that are next to each other) done 5 times from 3 different dentist. One got infected and I got a treatment for it, but even after all that there is always an odor and makes me have bad breath. Should I just get my tooth pulled out at this point? Any other recommendations. It’s been several years and it’s embarrassing!

Hi LA_EM,
Crown lengthening involves removal/recontouring of the bone that holds the tooth in the jaw, but also dictates where the gum height will settle.
Bone healing can take up to 9 weeks to resolve in this area and the gum will continually change its appearance during this...
Hi:The answer is most likely yes. However, without photo and X-ray it is difficult to give an accurate advice. Please post photo and X-ray of the tooth.Best,
Hello and thank you for your question. More information is need, but in general, porcelain veneers with wrap around could help you. I would consider FIRST additional aligners (what used to be called a refinement) in order to align teeth better AND make your teeth fit better. All the best to you.
