I have been given the option of a stainless steel crown at £350, metal free porcelain at £595 and 60% gold at £750. I would get a 10% discount as...

Hi, I was one of the many children treated by the NHS and given tetracycline which discoloured my teeth. I am 49 years old, with 12 old crowns ( now discoloured with a little gum recession). The overall look of my téeth has affected my confidence socially. My dentist says that I can't replace because of possible complications ( root canal etc). Am I stuck with these dreadful teeth or is there anything I can do to improve them?...

Hi I had unstraight front teeth and asked my dentist about straightening them, he suggested crowns. I went ahead and had them done about 2 years ago. I'm not happy, the colour is yellow, one sticks out slightly, they feel too far forward and that affects my speech (I spray spit) I'm now totally conscious of them, rarely smile or chat as it's so embarrassing. I also have gum disease which I'm trying to get under control. I've s...

I had a crown fitted on the NHS 6 montgs ago. It has now broken and taken the 'base/pin/stub' of the tooth with it. My dentist has informed me it is up repairable as a Crown. As the work was under taken less than 12 months ago, am I entitled to any form of treatment to rectify the problem?

I have just visited my dentist and was informed I needed a crown on one of my lower front teeth. Told this would last for 10-15 years. I was told a porcelain crown would be the best choice but this was not covered by the NHS and would cost £400.Would be most grateful if you could confirm this please as I am very dubious unfortunately. Many thanks

My right side next to my two front is a crown too but this seems ok , it's my left crown next to my two front teeth there is a big gap too which makes it look like its bad but it'...
