Why Does my Dentist Recommend Crowns Instead of Veneers? My Teeth Are Healthy
ask your dentist questions..
Mar 29, 2012
Mar 29, 2012
By your description alone your front teeth seem to be free of any restorations, if so I would suggest leaving them as is, or if your unhappy with the shade you can always have a whitening procedure done. If you would like to change the size & shape of them then I would suggest veneers since they dont require your enamel to be reduced as much as a crown would. As far as your molars, unfortunately once a tooth has had a crown done you have to…
Should a Root Canal Be Done with the Old Crown in Place??
It can, but I would not recommend it…

In most cases when a patient is experiencing pain where there is an "old" crown it is due to the tooth having decay under it. The most common reason is because it is no longer properly sealed & bacteria is filtering in. Other times the crown may be properly sealed & it is just reacting to the trauma caused by the actual preparation, which occasionally happens as well. Every case is different & every dentist treats differently but I…
After Removal of Gold Crowns Are Porcelain Veneers an Option or Only Porcelain Crowns?
Unfortunately veneers are not an option.

Jan 21, 2012
Once a tooth has had a crown, a veneer is no longer an option. A veneers preparation of the tooth reduces a minimal amount of tooth structure on the front & biting surface, a crown on the other hand is reduced all around. A full porcelain crown is a great way to achive a natural aesthetically pleasing smile since they look just as great as veneers do.
Would a Porcelain Crown Cause my Gums to Darken?
Porcelain crown is a good option!
Jan 21, 2012
Jan 21, 2012
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 loss causing the root & or the metal to be exposed which does look dark. Now in between the teeth there may be other issues, they can have fillings that are not properly sealed which can darken over time & even natural teeth can look darkened in the presence of periodontal problems or car. In your case a full…
Are There Food Restrictions After Professional Teeth Whitening?
If you want the best result possible, Yes there are foods & drinks to avoid..
Jan 19, 2012
Jan 19, 2012
I always recommend my patients follow the rule "if it will stain your clothes, it will stain your teeth". Some of those foods & drinks include, but are not limited to red wine, cola, red sauces, coffee, dark teas, ketchup, mustard, soy sauce & also avoid tobacco products. Other than that your safe, but if you absolutely cannot resist just make sure you floss & brush right after. Remember following the after care instructions are crucial to…
Can I Do Veneers On Upper Teeth Without Doing Lower Teeth To Save Money?
Yes you can!
Jan 19, 2012
Jan 19, 2012
The cost is definitely something that holds people back from doing both upper & lower veneers. I usually do only upper veneers & whiten the bottom teeth so it does not look mismatched on the shade. 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.
