• 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?

  I am worried that my hygienist is going to damage my CEREC crowns. I went in to have my teeth cleaned. I have three CEREC crowns . I didn’t want her using a Cavitron on them.  She got angry and, though she didn’t use the Cavitron, when she scaled my crowns,  she was so rough…

• Dentist Gave Me Crowns Instead of Veneers

  I’d been talking to my dentist about porcelain veneers. Every email communication he gave me said porcelain veneers. When I went in  for the procedure, he ground my teeth down quite a bit and gave me what he called temporary veneers. After getting the permanent one, I started having  pain with my canine, but the…

• Can I Really Wake Up with a Whole New Smile?

  I was at my dentist’s office for a check up and mentioned to him that I was thinking about improving my smile. Honestly, I was just thinking about whitening my teeth, but he’s suggesting something completely different. He wants to crown all of my teeth for a complete smile makeover. He said I could even…

• Dentist Can't Get My Implant Crowns to Match

• Are Computerized Crowns as Safe as the Regular Ones?

  I had a dental crown made by a computer in 2017. I think my dentist said it was a CEREC something or other. It had always bothered me. This year I went to a different dentist and they said that the crown wasn’t fit properly and would need to be redone. This dentist also wants…

• Can a Maryland Bridge Attach to a Dental Implant

  I have two dental implants that had a natural tooth between them. Now that natural tooth needs to be removed and my dentist is recommending a Maryland Bridge. Is it possible to attach a Maryland bridge to the dental implants? I was concerned about attaching the metal to the porcelain. Have you seen this successful?…

• Is a Crack in a Dental Crown an Emergency?

  I have had six porcelain crowns for close to twelve years. One of them, on a front tooth, has always had a slight defect. It never really bothered me because you couldn’t really see it. If I rubbed my tongue against it, there would be a slight depression but that is all. Now, it feels…

• Dentist SAid My Teeth are Too White

  I am needing to get a crown on a tooth, but my dentist can’t seem to match it to my other teeth. He said my teeth are “too white”. It is true that my teeth are very white. I did do Zoom Whitening with my last dentist about two months ago. I’ve relocated since then.…
