• Dental Crown Keeps Falling Off

  I have a dental crown that has fallen off four times. It was this last time that the dentist mentioned that we’ll need to do a gingivectomy in order for there to be enough tooth to keep on the crown. Is this legitimate? I’m frustrated about this crown and don’t really want to mess up…

• Can the Hygienist Damage My CEREC Crown?

• Help! Which Crown Should I Get?

  I need to get a dental crown on a tooth. My dentist threw all these options at me. While he did explain everything, it was all so fast I can’t remember. I told him I’d let him know this week. I tried to do some research but everything is so confusing. Help! Lacey Dear Lacey,…

• What's a Better Cosmetic Procedure: Crowns or Veneers?

  I want to improve my smile. I went to my dentist to discuss getting porcelain veneers. He said they’re not as good as everyone makes out and I’d get a better smile with porcelain crowns. I’m a little worried about that idea because I’d lose so much tooth structure. But, if they’re better I guess…
