I lost half a molar (no pain) the other half is sealed by way of the filling that was in the center should get the remaining half removed even if there is no pain and its not loose?
Innovative Dental of Springfield I already lost my 2 front teeth, I’m tire of using dentures, what is the best way except dentures, thanks 🙏🏿 ... I’m a new subscriber here...
I have been a general dentist for over 40 years and I would like to give my view. Although I agree with the premise that crowns are over prescribed by some dentists, often a crown IS the correct solution for many situations. Yes, front teeth need crowns less than back teeth. The stronger biting forces on back teeth indicate crowning more often. The front teeth are more amenable to fillings and veneers. But sometimes a crown is the best solution there as well! It depends on the judgement of the dentist. I think non-dentists are not able to make this judgement as well as dentists. So if a patient is skeptical, I suggest one or two additional consults with totally different dentists. I have practiced conservatively with the idea that the less you do to a tooth the better off it is. But don't be afraid of crowns; they do an important job in reconstruction of a tooth when necessary. And no need to regret having had them. I as a dentist have had twelve crowns in my mouth. And I am happy with them. They saved my teeth! If faced with many crown recommendations, get multiple consults.
Dr can crowns last if taken proper care? I just had 12 put in and im only 30. I´m scared to lose my teeth in the future as decay gets inside the crown. Please help!
As a dentist, you can afford your crowns. I have a premium dental insurance plan, but front upper incisor crowns were denied as "being cosmetic," even though that is not at all the reason for them. As a 77 year-old, very happily married to a beautiful, very highly educated woman who is 31 years younger than me (she married me for being a medical research scientist, as that is what she is), I most certainly not having crowns to attract 19 year-old bubbleheads!
FYI, I got a crown on my front top middle tooth, that I broke when I was 12, I got the crown when I was 20, no root canal and the tooth was sharpened like a sword point, I am now 65, never had any issues with, it’s as solid as the first day it was installed, and never got pain or sensitivity even after 45 years.
When I was younger around 13 I broke my middle left tooth in half since then I had a root cannel done because of pain and I have just had Capps put on the tooth I am currently 17 and ageing towards 18 in about 10 months I am currently unhappy with how it looks as I notice it daily my dentist has said that I can just have caps put on for the future but I’m not sure if a crown will give me the appearance I want from it also the stability and hassle currently contemplating the idea but just some experience of getting a crown would be good because I am really confused on what to do.
@yashraj singh when I broke it the dentist told me to wait until I was 18, I got it done when I was 20 because I started my career job then and had insurance, the important thing is to get a top notch Dentist. One of my cousin’s dentist wasn’t very good and ended up redo-it a second time. Hope this helped, wish you luck.
@@williambentley5347 Hi William, the best is to follow your dentist’s advise, if you trust him and he’s good. If your tooth is very strong and I’m not sure since you had a root canal done,but if it is a crown is the way to go, but today’s best option would be an implant, the only drawback is the cost….. here in Montreal, Canada the cost of one implant will run you about 3,000$. My crown is still 100% because he was a really good dentist, he did not do a root canal so my original tooth that the crown is over is very strong and alive, once you do a root canal the tooth is considered dead, it will be more prone to cracking, so the minimum you can do right now is to get a crown to help protect it from breaking/cracking, but this option is not 100% guaranteed since you got a root canal done before, so in this case the best solution would be to remove it and get an implant. But talk to your specialist first…… Hope this helps, good luck.
Of course it’s a good idea if it’s necessary, like your situation, but for someone just doing it for cosmetics, it’s just too extreme. There’s no need to drill your teeth down to pegs if you don’t have to
I wish dentists like you were the norm, not the exception. I've had so many botched treatments on my teeth and they're failing. I keep a beard to hide my horrible smile.
Right. I saw the title and was like citizens need to start a class action lawsuit against all the shxtty dentists extracting teeth instead of preserving or recommending crowns and root canals for profit instead of being mindful of patient health...
Always always always read the Google reviews of a dentist before visiting them. The dentists I've been seeing for a while now are very good and never pushed me to do any unnecessary procedures.
People keep asking questions to the Doctor, but you have to realize that he needs to see your teeth problems that way he can give a proper and a professional answer!!! So, it doesn't matter what's your question, he'll never satisfy with an answer because it'll never be a real one. I think this video is complete and it can answer any question you may have. Thank you doc for open our eyes with the dentist industry, because it is 😉✌
I’m 63 and my front teeth had broken because of age, so my only option was to have crowns. My bite was also way off. Most of my adult life, my two middle front bottom tooth were hitting underneath my two front teeth because my but was not correct. My dentist adjusted my upper bicuspids by lengthening them with crowns to correct that problem. So in my case, crowns were a wonderful way to get my smile back. But you still have to be careful and look at your X-rays if a dentist is recommending crown because my husband has healthy beautiful teeth, and when he was in his late 40’s, a dentist told him he needed crowns on EVERY TOOTH! That was an absolute lie. He’s 63 and has had approximately 5 fillings and his teeth are perfect. So you do have to be careful, just as this dentist is saying.
My teeth didnt have much left, they were basically plastic and started breaking down. Now they're crowned with porcelain instead, and it feels more natural.
@@EnSabahNur-ir5mw I had issues with them ever since I had babyteeth(short version: mom didn't take away my pacifier which prevented my teeth from growing->I learned to keep my tongue between my teeth which affected my bite as well as lead to constant teeth grinding(and speech issues😕) it ruined my teeth completely). I lived in the countryside where we didn't have good dentists, so as an adult I did my best to fix them but the damage was done. If I ever have kids they'll get to go to a good dentist(and they won't be using a pacifier 24/7). Sorry about the long explanation.
@@kuuttinen so sad. It's really painful to hear that. I'm sure one day u will find a good dentist. I wish you would have an excellent smile in the future. Take care
Idc what anyone says about his looks or what hes selling. This man is sharp, educated and knows his stuff. We need more dentists like him. Respect @Innovativedentalofspringfield for standing your ground on your professional opinion, get em 🐅 #owned #hatersgonnahate
The reason why the tooth tissue needs to be removed has no relationship to wether the crown is temporary(plastic) or permanent. It is removed so that there is space for the crown itself thus it cannot be avoided. Crowns are a very good solution in cetain cases. For example- teeth which have had multiple obturations and are very carries unresistant - a well made crown can preserve this tooth and put an end to countless dental apointments for new obturations. Another example a tooth with only a few walls left of the crown wich is very prone to fracture. Also a bridge of crowns can stabilize teeth which are shaky and prevent extractions. Ofcourse putting a crown on a healthy tooth just for estetic purposes is a horrible idea due to the reasons stated in the video. The end result of a treatment with a well made crown in a lab and a crown made with the new technology machines is not much different. Thats is beeing real on the subject. peace!
I agree. He needs to clarify specifically that he is talking about conservative issues like esthetics or small decay. And youre right, the preparations are done not because of temporary but so thats theres room of the crown and that it is less prone to fracture. Thin veneers fracture too!
Thank you for describing this in layman's terms:) My dentist seems to forget that I didn't get my education in dentistry. So I'll reiterate, thanks again for the info!:)
The amount of enamel being removed for my crown really worried me, but at least I got a zirconia one made in one appointment. So, I think less got removed than if I had done it another way. I'll only do major dental work if I felt it absolutely necessary, and I believe it was. I couldn't deny how the tooth being treated had decayed (covered full width of tooth down to gum line and there was a tiny hole developing). So unfortunately I had to get the root canal and crown to save the tooth.
I just had my second set of a full crowns, after 20 years. They did end up with decay under them and I had to get them all replaced, as well as 2 extractions. (My dentist does believe in trying to save your teeth) I will say, the pain I am experiencing on the lower half is almost unbearable. My teeth and gums are definitely not as strong as they used to be. I hope this pain ends, and I hope I didn't watch this video 20 years too late :-/
@@jaimiehill2028 :( it’s such a traumatic experience. I’m starting to lose my teeth/crowns now one at a time and getting implants. I wish I had gone this route first, so much less pain and mental anguish. I don’t eat chewy foods. Anything that will be or get chewy sticky, have been SO afraid since. I wish you all the best in your healing and dental journey 🙏🏻
I have not been to the dentist and many many years. I had a bad experience with life in general. But I'm better now so now I have decided to straighten my smile because I've never had a beautiful smile. It's something that I am very passionate about and I want it really bad and I work really hard every day so I feel like this is something that I deserve. My dentist gave me a quote of right at $11,000 just to do the top teeth and that would be getting them cleaned and replacing the front 4 at the top only and it would include doing crowns.
The dentist suggested that I do that to my two front teeth because of a childhood trauma, I chipped my two front teeth. Therefore, I get bonding done every so many years. I have to crowns on two of my back teeth that gave/give me issues😞, so why would I do it to the front teeth 🦷😒. I happily declined having the front teeth crown, I’ll just continue to get the bonding redone.
@@Pekrop7 my teeth looked normal too. But didn't respond to an ice test. And had a very slight color difference. They did a root canal. I'm waiting for my dentist to schedule an apt. I really hope crown isn't my only option.
You just saved me. I was in the dental chair about to get crown procedure. Now I'm getting a dental inlay. It's good to ask questions. I have to pay 700 The dentist told me this was a better procedure than a crown
Thank you Doctor. What a shame that I saw this video after I went for 3 crowns last month. It is very painful and I have a lot sensitivity now. I will always regret it. The worst thing to know now is that eventually I will have to go through root canals. If there is way, could you please tell me how to prevent root canals? Mentally it is affecting me so much. Unfortunately, I already have a root canal and I do not want 3 more in the future.
I've had several gold crowns fitted. They are a wonderful asset to ppl who have decay that isn't severe enough for a root canal to bring the tooth back to full function
My partner has had 7 crowns on his front teeth and said they removed all his tooth enamel and his teeth were initially crooked but healthy. He’s devastated that the dentist didn’t explain his teeth were going to be ground down that much. That look great now but hes so upsets and said he feels he’s lost all his own teeth 🥲 What does he do now? I feel so sad for him because we were never informed because we wouldn’t have allowed this to happen 🙁
Sounds like excellent advice, I got a crown 15 years ago, had to get a root canal (according to the dentist). Tooth got infected at the root itself 7 years later. Had to pop the crown, get the root can redone, do another crown. Now 8 years later, got i fected at the root again! Dentist now wants to remove the tooth to put an implant 😮💨 Do whatever you can to avoid having a crown where they will take out most of your tooth.
I honestly thank you very much for informing me about the technology. I just canceled my appointment where they were going to give me a temporary crown and wait for lab. I just found another dentistry where they have the technology and are able to do fixes on the same day.
I inherited soft enamel from both of my parents and as a result, my teeth have started to fail after only 38 years. I take very good care of my teeth (brush, floss, and water pick twice a day) yet they still crack and break. I made the tough (and expensive decision) to have both my upper and lower arches replaced with all on 6 implants. Unfortunately, the total cost is approx. $25,000 but I am hoping that I will again have the confidence to smile or eat food harder than a crouton. The information you have provided here is truly helpful tho!
In 1963 I was 12 years old when I broke my front tooth. I had a root canal done and a temp crown. I never got a perm crown because we were poor. Fast forward to the mid 70s, I broke the temp crown. I was still poor so a dentist made me a resin repair or if you will, a resin replacement for the temp crown. It lasted until last year when the back side broke away. I have to get it fixed soon but now that I'm 70 years old, I don't want to spend $2,000 on a crown and that's what the dentists want to do here in my area in Maine. It seems like everyone only wants to do expensive work and not try and understand the patients needs. I could die a week after they put that expensive crown on. What a stupid waste of money in my eyes.
Too late... I've got my temps on the front and bottom . Qualifying admission - I'm almost 60 years old. I've never had much trouble with my teeth (I have all of my wisdom teeth), except for a couple that I broke by trying to use them for something that a tooth is not meant to be used for (popcorn kernels are the devil - lol). Regardless, I'm still very optimistic about my outcome. Yesterday, I had 4 frontal upper and 4 frontal lower shaved for crowns (in for a penny, in for a pound). So far so good but I will not tell you that it was painless. No matter how much local anesthesia the dentist gave me there were 2 teeth that were a problem in that respect. I soldiered through and the whole process and it completed within an hour. I've got temps until the 16th of October. Honestly, the temps look at least 40% better than what I had before with all of prior chips and discoloration. Don't get me wrong, my teeth where not horrible to look at or decyayed before but I did not like the discoloration or chipping. I asked multiple dentists about Veneers because my bite is slightly under rather than over at the front. When I say slightly, I mean a couple of mm. So, I am not a candidate for Veneers due to my bite. I would have loved the option of Veneers but in order for me to get them I would have had to have jaw surgery to realign my bite. I am really looking forward to getting my crowns next month. I'm the type of person who is willing to pay for a 60% improvement of function and aesthetics. I feel good so far with what my dentist and I have done. If that changes on 10/16 I will be sure to let you know.
veneers and implants are for rich people crowns and bridges are for middle class people removable denture or none at all for poor people see, we explained these things to our patients, give them the best options, but unfortunately we, us live in a third world country so i must say , the real deal for this is to educate them as early or as young as possible the importance of dental health. look you have a HUGE clinic, in my country your place can house 15 dental chairs or more.
Porcelin crowns are strong, but veeners are only glued infront of the teath and are more likely to fall out which they have happened to almost everyone I know that have veeners.
If you are getting a crowns, I would have a root canal procedure done first (with or without infection of the root). Because the need for one later exist(s). Furthermore, you can have problems with the tooth being sensitive and painful in the long-term with the crown on a tooth without a root canal. However, I would never use crowns on front teeth unless most of the tooth was destroyed and required one.
I had a crown after a root canal on a back molar. No choice really, 85% of the old tooth was amalgam and what was left had some decay. There was just about enough left to save the tooth or it would have been an extraction. I’ve got older crowns that have been in for 20 years, no issues, so I don’t get what the problem is.
Hey doc, my son has enamel hypoplasia,and hypomin. His 6 yr old molars were the first to have it and he has chalky tooth too (white spots in the teeth). can u do a "what to know," "how it happened," and "how to address" video about it??? Thanks much! :)
So I had a root canal on my front tooth many years ago & my dentist recommends a crown for structural reasons. In this case, would you recommend a crown on the front tooth? Also, can I get a crown on one tooth and veneers on the rest & still have a beautiful smile?
Just found your channel looking for insight for my overfilled root canals. Great content. I'm young and have a lot of root canals done. I have a front tooth they wanted to do a crown on because it has decay in that backside. I'd be interested in getting work done on that tooth by you. Also: I've wondered why they don't make solid implants (as in one complete piece). I always thought they were. Probably due to pain of bone healing?? If I went to you, could you create a duplicate of the entire tooth and implant it right after pulling it? And could I get a complete implant for a molar? Thanks so much!
@@InnovativeDentalofSpringfield so anywhere besides the two front teeth....I have under developed teeth on each side of my two front teeth and I'm ready to get them fixed with crowns
Thanks for the video. I'll find out tomorrow when I go to dentist. I thought root canals were worst n didn't last. For back teeth though. Broken off after chemo, radiation, and chewing ice. I can't believe 1Million views and 10k 👍 come on guys give 👍
well i had 5 gold crowns fitted in 1995..and today in january 2022 they are still as good as the day i had them done. only one popped off about 2 years after being done.
Basically, there are situations where you just cannot go straight to CEREC milled veneers and achieve good looking results. It is really not okay and kinda funny at the same time saying that you don't really need a lab anymore. I bet that as a clinician you have not enough time already and, I deeply doubt you're using the CEREC - if yes - then show me your results, your veneers. I hope they are great, then sure go for that if it's efficient for you. But the major amount of dentists can't even contour a temporary, so I would be worried about applying this to everyone. Aside from that, the video is massive! Great job!
I’ve had this discussion many times with colleagues. I would agree with what you’re saying. On a virgin tooth, in ideal or nearly ideal arch form, veneer all the way. But the vast majority of patients I see, have large restorations and/or don’t want orthodontic movement. Veneers do not add strength and can’t make significant movement but crowns can.
Great points. In the majority of the patients I see, they are happy to align their teeth with Invisalign prior to investing thousands on their smile with taking more tooth structure away with crowns. Invisalign prior to cosmetic work almost always in my opinion. ;)
Front teeth are not supposed to touch each other when the teeth are in approximation (occlusion). The 1mm space given between upper and lower front teeth is called overjet and overbite. That's basic dentistry that a student would know. If a surface has decay, that surface acts like it is corroded. We can't do any restoration over a corroded region. It would eventually fail because the tooth structure underneath the restoration would decay over the long run. Problems with veneers are gum problems - the same as with crowns. My recommendation - you may get a crown or veneer done, whichever you can afford. But you will need periodic checkups. If gum problems arise because of improper hygiene, you may have to remove crown/ veneer , treat the gum, then get a new one done after gum has healed. This could be anywhere from 3 to 10 years down the lane, depending on a lot of factors including habits and general health of the patient and initial condition of the tooth.
I went to the dentist (which is my dentist since i was 10 years old) last march 31, 2019 I have 4 crowns in my front upper teeth. And i have missing lateral incisor, first and second molar teeth on the left side upper. I told the dentist to replace my old crown front teeth and then put partial denture on the missing molar but she told me that i should get crowns on my upper from canine to second molar of my upper teeth so total of 8 teeth so it will look straight because the crowns on my front were obvious. I was hesitant at first, but I was drive with my decision to go for crown because my canine and first molar on the left is moving backward and because my front 4 crown teeth is obvious. I went home REGRETTING the decision i have made and going through the advice of my dentist and thinking why did she even recommend me such though she told me that i need fillings on those teeth still i find it healthy but only with gum receding on it, knowing that in the future i'll suffer. I promise myself years ago that i wont touch my canine teeth but i did. I should've listen to my mom but i didn't. I regret every single day i made that decision. Though i have accepted the fact that in the near future i will have denture because i have 2 teeth upper right molar that has fillings. @Yanbo Yang I have the same thought as yours as to why these people that are so blessed of having straight healthy white teeth go through procedure as i have seen on social media also they have straight good looking teeth. I am sorry for saying this but this is the truth, whatever shape your teeth or are crooked or etc BE HAPPY with it as long as it has no decay and cavity. Take good care of your remaining real teeth because nothing could ever replace it and that sensation of having your natural teeth, it is a struggle of having a fake one. In my case its in our genes that our teeth easily get decay. But as much as i have my lovely remaining real teeth to care of I AM REALLY TAKING GOOD CARE of it now. I started avoiding soda and other foods that can contribute to the damage of my teeth. I drink a lot of water. if your body doesn't get enough nutrients just like what its needed same with your teeth it will eventually decay (Based on my research). I am sharing this to all of you because the anxiety it brought to me the distressed and even my work is already affected, I woke up early remembering sitting on that dental chair that I SHOULD HAVE SAID to the dentist "NO DOC I'LL HAVE MY REAL REMAINING TEETH. Now, I still have my temporary which i feel is too big and felt like i was wearing a teeth guard for boxing, hence i was even thinking if its possible that i don't want it to get cemented so i could still brush my teeth inside of it when i get my still temporary because I could not be able to afford porcelain crowns. Moreover, thinking that if i could go through procedure like composite veneer though it may sound very impossible but I've seen case of tooth that went through composite even with small teeth remaining, thinking of ways to restore my teeth in a way i can still feel my natural one even if isn't as durable as the real teeth or veneer or crown, I just want to feel it. ;( I am really not ready for dentures. :'( And if by any chance in the future we can possibly regrow, or even missing enamel teeth to all dentist out there PLEASE make it even possible for everyone rich or poor it maybe. I know part of your work is business, and really dentistry is very expensive but I hope to all dentist out there that please do recommend to your patients what is best for their health and both with your pockets. This is not to make you feel bad for those that really desired to enhance their teeth but this is a precautions. I am hoping you get something out from here. It is way way better you look beautiful in natural. Been watching your videos Doctor O, if only i have seen these vids earlier i would not have went through for crowns. Thank you for being an honest and conservative Dentist as you are. Only if i have so much money that i could easily fly from Philippines to your country (Imagining to win a lottery haha). Hope you could give me some advice, I am really looking forward to it. God bless you and God bless everyone. :)
I don’t know but I have had my front crowns for the past 35 years I have them replaced twice first set were really cheap second set have a metal backing very strong they are amazing no decay non sensitive roots are alive. Veneers are delicate easily breakable
I've been saying this to my new dentists FOREVER. I have veneers on my two front teeth and one cracked at the bottom. I want the veneers replaced and they want to crown them, because they said the teeth MAY be weak or break in the future. MAY. So let's remove more tooth tissue so they WILL be weak. No thank you. Still looking for another dentist willing to replace my veneers, since the one that did it retired.
Does it mean you made the bad choice but I do want you to watch him, I read the comments some people say that they’ve had these front crowns for 20 years and they’re doing fine, but please watch
Thank you so much for this, wish I seen this before I went to get my temporary crown a week ago (but on my molar, not front tooth) - since then, NOTHING but problems- I should have listened to my gut "If it's not broke, don't fix it" . I had to drive over 100 miles twice this week (taking time off work) because the dentist did not smooth out the temporary and it was literally cutting the side of my tongue for 5 days. I have to go back for the 3rd time as it's still rubbing the tongue and I am really unhappy. He also injected my mouth and half of my tongue is still numb and tingling 6 days later, I think he hit the nerve. A total NIGHTMARE. If I saw this video, I wouldn't gone as nothing was wrong with my tooth before this, now I'm paying for it, literally, with money from my own pocket, lost time from work, gas money not to mention entire weekends of irritability because my tongue is getting sawed against my defective tooth!!!! The only good news: I am eating less and talking less. Lost a few pounds in week because it's too sore to chew or even swallow.
I was in for a thorough exam last week and they said my root canals are infected and my filing feel out partly.And they said 8 cavities I have a little over bite #4 . Ever since I was me. All I ever wanted was a healthy regular+ nice smile. The dentist here said many things yet also said cosmetic we will talk about at another time. That is not what i wanted to hear. I went there for the tooth pain originally. I am 90% Insured.Help me decide the real decision. Please? Yours Truly, N.W.o
The same dentist that recommended the crown also drilled all my pits in one of my tooth filled it with filling and the bit feels unnatural and feels awful. I hate him and it is more sensitive now. There was no cavity on it he just did this anyway
Thank you for this very informative video! I have a crown on the lower right hand side of the jaw and it fell of after around three years of being installed. I noticed that the inside of the crown when it came off had a rotten tooth, bad smell to it. The tooth itself did not have any visible decay. Instead it looked ok. Went to the dentist three hours after it fell off. He put cement on it and cemented it back in place. I noticed straightaway that it was too high. I told that to the dentist and he said that it should settle with time. Right now it is around five hours latter and the tooth with the crown and the tooth opposite it, feel a sore or tender from the presure of the bite. Is this normal? Prior to it falling off, it was not too high. The only thing the dentist did was adding cement to it.
I have a crown/bridge in the front.. it hasn't been 8 months yet and now I'm getting full dentures....severe tooth decay under bridge and now it's bucking in the front and now getting removed...smh..dental horror story
Paul Blanchard Dude.....what is your problem??! You & a few of your "friends" are trolling all the women who finds this intelligent, professional, & yes, handsome man like it's a personal issue.....wait..are all you guys actually his wife pretending to be different people? 😂😂🤣
I had two "same day" cnc crowns made. The process was super convenient. Both broke within 6 months. Maybe I'm hard on my teeth. Maybe I eat food that needs real chewing. My dentist recommended a lab made crown and that seems to have solved the problem.
Thanks for this informative video. I sure wish I had you around to evaluate my problem. My dentist wants to crown a problem tooth near the front because she claims there is not enough of it left to do a filling and it would cost a small fortune I cannot afford. I don't know what to do at this point.
Thank you for this video! I have veneers that are on my four front teeth. I had them since 1993. I have no issues and love them. I just had one implant done recently and the dentist said he wanted to replace all my veneers because of bacteria build. I was not sure about that since I have no issues with cavity or gum issues, not even nerve issues? I like my dentist, but I need to tell him tomorrow at my appt. that I DO not want to change them. I love my smile, I did not go to him to change my front teeth, only one tooth implant. Which has not been done yet because of a receding gum line that he did gum graft on? But the gum is still not taking to the receded area. Anyhow, that was painful and I just want the tooth implant service which is halfway done, only waiting for the post. I was told they wanted to give me a canine tooth implant and this is why they want to do the crowns so they can match the canine on the other side. BUT I never had canine teeth, to begin with? Yes, it looks normal, but I am starting to wonder now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kat
Don’t do Root Canals and crowns. My whole mouth is all that back in 95. Present, was in hospital due to unexplained sickness to almost going septic. I’ve lost some teeth, some broke so part of tooth is still there. I’m so devastated, no insurance and now lost my tooth in the front. I don’t like to smile anymore, going to start to cry again. More than a makeover at this point. God Willing
Good information. I was gonna do a crown on my 2 front teeth as it's broken due to a fall. For now they just did like a bond or filling on it. Till I wanna do do a crown. Was told crown will be stronger and better
👩💻🗯"Very important question, If a crown was put on a back molar than underwent a root canal and buildup, CRACKED in less than a year with good dental hygiene, very careful flossing ,the whole bit ,careful about what foods are eaten. After the initial wait period and your able to floss and from the start after flossing a noticable odor. How dangerous is this the dentist makes the excuse not able to see it take anymore patients because if the Corona Virus. A crown should last 5 to 10 years or more not under one. In this case,shouldn't the insurance company that was payed to the last penny be notified? What to do in the meantime?
I was so pissed when I lost 2 teeth and my dentist ground down 2 more teeth to make a crown. Wish I never did it. Have replaced it 3 times and now making a 4th round. 2 implants and veneers would have been my choice if I could go back 25 years.
I feel like I'd be better off if I never went to the dentist. They've given me a mouth full of fillings, root canals, crowns. I had a crown done today in my molar and my dentist says I need 2 more. That's despite the teeth not causing me any pain or problems. I'm going to tell him no more crowns or fillings.

Innovative Dental of Springfield I already lost my 2 front teeth, I’m tire of using dentures, what is the best way except dentures, thanks 🙏🏿 ... I’m a new subscriber here...
I have been a general dentist for over 40 years and I would like to give my view.
Although I agree with the premise that crowns are over prescribed by some dentists,
often a crown IS the correct solution for many situations.
Yes, front teeth need crowns less than back teeth.
The stronger biting forces on back teeth indicate crowning more often.
The front teeth are more amenable to fillings and veneers.
But sometimes a crown is the best solution there as well!
It depends on the judgement of the dentist.
I think non-dentists are not able to make this judgement as well as dentists.
So if a patient is skeptical, I suggest one or two additional consults with totally different dentists.
I have practiced conservatively with the idea that the less you do to a tooth the better off it is.
But don't be afraid of crowns; they do an important job in reconstruction of a tooth when necessary.
And no need to regret having had them. I as a dentist have had twelve crowns in my mouth.
And I am happy with them. They saved my teeth!
If faced with many crown recommendations, get multiple consults.

Dr can crowns last if taken proper care? I just had 12 put in and im only 30. I´m scared to lose my teeth in the future as decay gets inside the crown. Please help!
Hi
As a dentist, you can afford your crowns. I have a premium dental insurance plan, but front upper incisor crowns were denied as "being cosmetic," even though that is not at all the reason for them. As a 77 year-old, very happily married to a beautiful, very highly educated woman who is 31 years younger than me (she married me for being a medical research scientist, as that is what she is), I most certainly not having crowns to attract 19 year-old bubbleheads!
What a beautiful poem.
FYI, I got a crown on my front top middle tooth, that I broke when I was 12, I got the crown when I was 20, no root canal and the tooth was sharpened like a sword point, I am now 65, never had any issues with, it’s as solid as the first day it was installed, and never got pain or sensitivity even after 45 years.
@yashraj singh as soon as possible, don’t wait.
@yashraj singh please get it done soon or else the muscles will weaken and cause further problems
When I was younger around 13 I broke my middle left tooth in half since then I had a root cannel done because of pain and I have just had Capps put on the tooth I am currently 17 and ageing towards 18 in about 10 months I am currently unhappy with how it looks as I notice it daily my dentist has said that I can just have caps put on for the future but I’m not sure if a crown will give me the appearance I want from it also the stability and hassle currently contemplating the idea but just some experience of getting a crown would be good because I am really confused on what to do.
@yashraj singh when I broke it the dentist told me to wait until I was 18, I got it done when I was 20 because I started my career job then and had insurance, the important thing is to get a top notch Dentist. One of my cousin’s dentist wasn’t very good and ended up redo-it a second time. Hope this helped, wish you luck.
@@williambentley5347 Hi William, the best is to follow your dentist’s advise, if you trust him and he’s good. If your tooth is very strong and I’m not sure since you had a root canal done,but if it is a crown is the way to go, but today’s best option would be an implant, the only drawback is the cost….. here in Montreal, Canada the cost of one implant will run you about 3,000$. My crown is still 100% because he was a really good dentist, he did not do a root canal so my original tooth that the crown is over is very strong and alive, once you do a root canal the tooth is considered dead, it will be more prone to cracking, so the minimum you can do right now is to get a crown to help protect it from breaking/cracking, but this option is not 100% guaranteed since you got a root canal done before, so in this case the best solution would be to remove it and get an implant. But talk to your specialist first…… Hope this helps, good luck.
I didn’t really have a choice... my two front teeth were blown out in a bike crash. Luckily, the teeth broke high enough to not require a root canal.
Of course it’s a good idea if it’s necessary, like your situation, but for someone just doing it for cosmetics, it’s just too extreme. There’s no need to drill your teeth down to pegs if you don’t have to
same but my two front teeth actually do need a root canal then braces 6 months after then i get crowns when im 16
I got a root canal, crowning, tooth extraction, etc.... *i’m ten*
Same. I broke my front two teeth in half at 12 years old. Smh. I'm almost 28 now, so the composite they used is wearing down so I need the crowns.
@@amal4920 same happened to me here at age of 10. I’m now 40. It’s been a nightmare!!!! Good luck. Don’t clench your front teeth!!
I wish dentists like you were the norm, not the exception. I've had so many botched treatments on my teeth and they're failing. I keep a beard to hide my horrible smile.
Right.
I saw the title and was like citizens need to start a class action lawsuit against all the shxtty dentists extracting teeth instead of preserving or recommending crowns and root canals for profit instead of being mindful of patient health...
Always always always read the Google reviews of a dentist before visiting them. The dentists I've been seeing for a while now are very good and never pushed me to do any unnecessary procedures.
@@komfykoala6083 My last dentist was terrible and yet had the highest reviews in my town, but there were a couple dentists in the office.
Same reason I kept my beard king finally fixed my teeth
@@lenaely6146 a good dentist never extract your tooth in the first option
This dude has tv’s on his ceiling for patients... nice
That's a lawsuit waiting to happen haha
Mine do too
That's how my dentist is.
lol which is cool but with all the water spritzing on my face i usually have my eyes closed
As well mine.
my dentist has a 'wheres wally' on the ceiling, y'all be having TVs
I wish my dentist had a clue like this guy does.
People keep asking questions to the Doctor, but you have to realize that he needs to see your teeth problems that way he can give a proper and a professional answer!!! So, it doesn't matter what's your question, he'll never satisfy with an answer because it'll never be a real one. I think this video is complete and it can answer any question you may have. Thank you doc for open our eyes with the dentist industry, because it is 😉✌
Half my tooth is fake, half is a fake tooth. Now my real tooth has no enamel and going for a crown.
How did that turn out 2 years later?
Can you tell me how old are you?
I’m 63 and my front teeth had broken because of age, so my only option was to have crowns. My bite was also way off. Most of my adult life, my two middle front bottom tooth were hitting underneath my two front teeth because my but was not correct. My dentist adjusted my upper bicuspids by lengthening them with crowns to correct that problem. So in my case, crowns were a wonderful way to get my smile back. But you still have to be careful and look at your X-rays if a dentist is recommending crown because my husband has healthy beautiful teeth, and when he was in his late 40’s, a dentist told him he needed crowns on EVERY TOOTH! That was an absolute lie. He’s 63 and has had approximately 5 fillings and his teeth are perfect. So you do have to be careful, just as this dentist is saying.
My teeth didnt have much left, they were basically plastic and started breaking down. Now they're crowned with porcelain instead, and it feels more natural.
What happened to ur teeth
@@EnSabahNur-ir5mw I had issues with them ever since I had babyteeth(short version: mom didn't take away my pacifier which prevented my teeth from growing->I learned to keep my tongue between my teeth which affected my bite as well as lead to constant teeth grinding(and speech issues😕) it ruined my teeth completely). I lived in the countryside where we didn't have good dentists, so as an adult I did my best to fix them but the damage was done. If I ever have kids they'll get to go to a good dentist(and they won't be using a pacifier 24/7). Sorry about the long explanation.
@@kuuttinen so sad. It's really painful to hear that. I'm sure one day u will find a good dentist. I wish you would have an excellent smile in the future. Take care
I just had a crown tooth today and I see this video in my recommendation, thank you 😭😭😭😭😭😭
hahahha
How has it been?
The title should say “ front teeth “.
exactly ..click bait
Idc what anyone says about his looks or what hes selling. This man is sharp, educated and knows his stuff. We need more dentists like him. Respect @Innovativedentalofspringfield for standing your ground on your professional opinion, get em 🐅 #owned #hatersgonnahate
The reason why the tooth tissue needs to be removed has no relationship to wether the crown is temporary(plastic) or permanent. It is removed so that there is space for the crown itself thus it cannot be avoided. Crowns are a very good solution in cetain cases. For example- teeth which have had multiple obturations and are very carries unresistant - a well made crown can preserve this tooth and put an end to countless dental apointments for new obturations. Another example a tooth with only a few walls left of the crown wich is very prone to fracture. Also a bridge of crowns can stabilize teeth which are shaky and prevent extractions. Ofcourse putting a crown on a healthy tooth just for estetic purposes is a horrible idea due to the reasons stated in the video. The end result of a treatment with a well made crown in a lab and a crown made with the new technology machines is not much different. Thats is beeing real on the subject.
peace!
I agree. He needs to clarify specifically that he is talking about conservative issues like esthetics or small decay. And youre right, the preparations are done not because of temporary but so thats theres room of the crown and that it is less prone to fracture. Thin veneers fracture too!
Everything he is saying is 100% truth. I just got my crowns. Look beautiful but sucks I lost my teeth
This is what I had done with my tooth. Veneer & partial crown. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for describing this in layman's terms:) My dentist seems to forget that I didn't get my education in dentistry. So I'll reiterate, thanks again for the info!:)
Thanks for watching! We are glad that it was helpful.
My town needs a dentist-- someone like this guy, someone who is sober and uses technology and loves Alaska ❤️ please move to my town
The amount of enamel being removed for my crown really worried me, but at least I got a zirconia one made in one appointment. So, I think less got removed than if I had done it another way. I'll only do major dental work if I felt it absolutely necessary, and I believe it was. I couldn't deny how the tooth being treated had decayed (covered full width of tooth down to gum line and there was a tiny hole developing). So unfortunately I had to get the root canal and crown to save the tooth.
I just had my second set of a full crowns, after 20 years. They did end up with decay under them and I had to get them all replaced, as well as 2 extractions. (My dentist does believe in trying to save your teeth) I will say, the pain I am experiencing on the lower half is almost unbearable. My teeth and gums are definitely not as strong as they used to be. I hope this pain ends, and I hope I didn't watch this video 20 years too late :-/
How is it going? I just got crowns, crying all night and suffering from severe anxiety due to this, can i get in touch with you?
@@mendozamarvel9510 Me too, I am in depression now.... was crying tooo
@@jaimiehill2028 :( it’s such a traumatic experience. I’m starting to lose my teeth/crowns now one at a time and getting implants. I wish I had gone this route first, so much less pain and mental anguish. I don’t eat chewy foods. Anything that will be or get chewy sticky, have been SO afraid since. I wish you all the best in your healing and dental journey 🙏🏻
@@mendozamarvel9510 I just saw this reply omg :( 2 years later….now I’m curious on how your doing and how you got through everything. Lawd so sorry
I have not been to the dentist and many many years. I had a bad experience with life in general. But I'm better now so now I have decided to straighten my smile because I've never had a beautiful smile. It's something that I am very passionate about and I want it really bad and I work really hard every day so I feel like this is something that I deserve. My dentist gave me a quote of right at $11,000 just to do the top teeth and that would be getting them cleaned and replacing the front 4 at the top only and it would include doing crowns.
By the way, where are you located
The dentist suggested that I do that to my two front teeth because of a childhood trauma, I chipped my two front teeth. Therefore, I get bonding done every so many years. I have to crowns on two of my back teeth that gave/give me issues😞, so why would I do it to the front teeth 🦷😒. I happily declined having the front teeth crown, I’ll just continue to get the bonding redone.
I had two crowns on my lower teeth before 5 yrs ago.. still good🤘No problems 👍
i have had my temporary on for a week now fingers crossed i make it to the real ones lol these are uncomfortable and sensitive to cold
Damnit I just had this done and was confused on why they had to shave so much of a healthy tooth!!!
mine is dead, can I crown it then? he said i should
@@Pekrop7 my teeth looked normal too. But didn't respond to an ice test. And had a very slight color difference. They did a root canal. I'm waiting for my dentist to schedule an apt. I really hope crown isn't my only option.
You just saved me. I was in the dental chair about to get crown procedure. Now I'm getting a dental inlay. It's good to ask questions. I have to pay 700 The dentist told me this was a better procedure than a crown
Wow you’re the dentist!
Thank you Doctor. What a shame that I saw this video after I went for 3 crowns last month. It is very painful and I have a lot sensitivity now. I will always regret it. The worst thing to know now is that eventually I will have to go through root canals. If there is way, could you please tell me how to prevent root canals? Mentally it is affecting me so much. Unfortunately, I already have a root canal and I do not want 3 more in the future.
Hope you are well. Any updates?
I've had several gold crowns fitted. They are a wonderful asset to ppl who have decay that isn't severe enough for a root canal to bring the tooth back to full function
Finest dentist ever!!! I’m so throughly educated while being eye candy entertained lol
My partner has had 7 crowns on his front teeth and said they removed all his tooth enamel and his teeth were initially crooked but healthy. He’s devastated that the dentist didn’t explain his teeth were going to be ground down that much. That look great now but hes so upsets and said he feels he’s lost all his own teeth 🥲 What does he do now? I feel so sad for him because we were never informed because we wouldn’t have allowed this to happen 🙁
you just saved my life in one video. thanks.
Save your teeth and just have eye candy with Dr.O
Sounds like excellent advice, I got a crown 15 years ago, had to get a root canal (according to the dentist). Tooth got infected at the root itself 7 years later. Had to pop the crown, get the root can redone, do another crown. Now 8 years later, got i fected at the root again! Dentist now wants to remove the tooth to put an implant 😮💨
Do whatever you can to avoid having a crown where they will take out most of your tooth.
How did it get infected?
I honestly thank you very much for informing me about the technology. I just canceled my appointment where they were going to give me a temporary crown and wait for lab. I just found another dentistry where they have the technology and are able to do fixes on the same day.
He looks like Mark Zuckerberg's buff older brother
President Moore nah...
Hes too fine to be his brother
I inherited soft enamel from both of my parents and as a result, my teeth have started to fail after only 38 years. I take very good care of my teeth (brush, floss, and water pick twice a day) yet they still crack and break. I made the tough (and expensive decision) to have both my upper and lower arches replaced with all on 6 implants. Unfortunately, the total cost is approx. $25,000 but I am hoping that I will again have the confidence to smile or eat food harder than a crouton. The information you have provided here is truly helpful tho!
In 1963 I was 12 years old when I broke my front tooth. I had a root canal done and a temp crown. I never got a perm crown because we were poor. Fast forward to the mid 70s, I broke the temp crown. I was still poor so a dentist made me a resin repair or if you will, a resin replacement for the temp crown. It lasted until last year when the back side broke away. I have to get it fixed soon but now that I'm 70 years old, I don't want to spend $2,000 on a crown and that's what the dentists want to do here in my area in Maine. It seems like everyone only wants to do expensive work and not try and understand the patients needs. I could die a week after they put that expensive crown on. What a stupid waste of money in my eyes.
He is so cute. I care nothing about crowns.....just here for those lips.
😁😂😁😂
Hahaha
foxbox1982 ....me tooo!
Im kidding.
foxbox1982 I swear noone's listening to what he's saying...what about a crown, again??
Yeah a cutie with a dog named Dexter. It doesn’t get more perfect. He’s taken though.
Too late... I've got my temps on the front and bottom . Qualifying admission - I'm almost 60 years old. I've never had much trouble with my teeth (I have all of my wisdom teeth), except for a couple that I broke by trying to use them for something that a tooth is not meant to be used for (popcorn kernels are the devil - lol). Regardless, I'm still very optimistic about my outcome. Yesterday, I had 4 frontal upper and 4 frontal lower shaved for crowns (in for a penny, in for a pound). So far so good but I will not tell you that it was painless. No matter how much local anesthesia the dentist gave me there were 2 teeth that were a problem in that respect. I soldiered through and the whole process and it completed within an hour. I've got temps until the 16th of October. Honestly, the temps look at least 40% better than what I had before with all of prior chips and discoloration. Don't get me wrong, my teeth where not horrible to look at or decyayed before but I did not like the discoloration or chipping. I asked multiple dentists about Veneers because my bite is slightly under rather than over at the front. When I say slightly, I mean a couple of mm. So, I am not a candidate for Veneers due to my bite. I would have loved the option of Veneers but in order for me to get them I would have had to have jaw surgery to realign my bite. I am really looking forward to getting my crowns next month. I'm the type of person who is willing to pay for a 60% improvement of function and aesthetics. I feel good so far with what my dentist and I have done. If that changes on 10/16 I will be sure to let you know.
veneers and implants are for rich people
crowns and bridges are for middle class people
removable denture or none at all for poor people
see, we explained these things to our patients, give them the best options, but unfortunately we, us live in a third world country so i must say , the real deal for this is to educate them as early or as young as possible the importance of dental health.
look you have a HUGE clinic, in my country your place can house 15 dental chairs or more.
From India?
Porcelin crowns are strong, but veeners are only glued infront of the teath and are more likely to fall out which they have happened to almost everyone I know that have veeners.
What if you had a root canal done on a back molar?
Crown is the best option there
I had 4 crown on my front teeth..🥴😆 Its been 10 years.. So far so good
how is it today?
Gabriel Nasayao still fine. My dentist told me, unless I have problems with it, then I should get it replace, otherwise no need
Good for you. Because I'm planning on crowning mine as well
Gabriel Nasayao You from Philippines?Manila? Choose the best dentist ,best one with cosmetics dentistry.
thanks for the advice
You just save my life. My dentist recommended 11 crowns, upper front and lower.. Sadly I already paid for the mould.
I just got my top 6 done a couple months ago..i still dont like biting into burgers and stuff but this guy just ruined them for me!
If you are getting a crowns, I would have a root canal procedure done first (with or without infection of the root). Because the need for one later exist(s). Furthermore, you can have problems with the tooth being sensitive and painful in the long-term with the crown on a tooth without a root canal. However, I would never use crowns on front teeth unless most of the tooth was destroyed and required one.
I had a crown after a root canal on a back molar. No choice really, 85% of the old tooth was amalgam and what was left had some decay. There was just about enough left to save the tooth or it would have been an extraction. I’ve got older crowns that have been in for 20 years, no issues, so I don’t get what the problem is.
Hey doc, my son has enamel hypoplasia,and hypomin. His 6 yr old molars were the first to have it and he has chalky tooth too (white spots in the teeth). can u do a "what to know," "how it happened," and "how to address" video about it??? Thanks much! :)

My 2 front teath broke when I was just 10 years old and I did nothing to my teeth
So I had a root canal on my front tooth many years ago & my dentist recommends a crown for structural reasons. In this case, would you recommend a crown on the front tooth? Also, can I get a crown on one tooth and veneers on the rest & still have a beautiful smile?
Thank you
OMG, I was thinking of this issue. Why in the world did the dentist have to scrape my good tooth so much to put a crown..
What do you think about fillings on both of the top front teeth? (Which I just got and I’m 32, because they were slightly thinning at the bottom)
Just found your channel looking for insight for my overfilled root canals. Great content. I'm young and have a lot of root canals done.
I have a front tooth they wanted to do a crown on because it has decay in that backside. I'd be interested in getting work done on that tooth by you. Also: I've wondered why they don't make solid implants (as in one complete piece). I always thought they were. Probably due to pain of bone healing?? If I went to you, could you create a duplicate of the entire tooth and implant it right after pulling it? And could I get a complete implant for a molar?
Thanks so much!
All private dentists have got us by the balls
I have big silver fillings so the only option after taking out the filling is to get a crown
Is it ok to get a crown on the back teeth?
Absolutely.

Ardeth Bey haha :)
well i had 5 gold crowns fitted in 1995..and today in january 2022 they are still as good as the day i had them done. only one popped off about 2 years after being done.
Basically, there are situations where you just cannot go straight to CEREC milled veneers and achieve good looking results. It is really not okay and kinda funny at the same time saying that you don't really need a lab anymore. I bet that as a clinician you have not enough time already and, I deeply doubt you're using the CEREC - if yes - then show me your results, your veneers. I hope they are great, then sure go for that if it's efficient for you. But the major amount of dentists can't even contour a temporary, so I would be worried about applying this to everyone. Aside from that, the video is massive! Great job!
I’ve had this discussion many times with colleagues. I would agree with what you’re saying. On a virgin tooth, in ideal or nearly ideal arch form, veneer all the way. But the vast majority of patients I see, have large restorations and/or don’t want orthodontic movement. Veneers do not add strength and can’t make significant movement but crowns can.
Great points. In the majority of the patients I see, they are happy to align their teeth with Invisalign prior to investing thousands on their smile with taking more tooth structure away with crowns. Invisalign prior to cosmetic work almost always in my opinion. ;)
Front teeth are not supposed to touch each other when the teeth are in approximation (occlusion).
The 1mm space given between upper and lower front teeth is called overjet and overbite. That's basic dentistry that a student would know.
If a surface has decay, that surface acts like it is corroded. We can't do any restoration over a corroded region. It would eventually fail because the tooth structure underneath the restoration would decay over the long run.
Problems with veneers are gum problems - the same as with crowns.
My recommendation - you may get a crown or veneer done, whichever you can afford. But you will need periodic checkups. If gum problems arise because of improper hygiene, you may have to remove crown/ veneer , treat the gum, then get a new one done after gum has healed. This could be anywhere from 3 to 10 years down the lane, depending on a lot of factors including habits and general health of the patient and initial condition of the tooth.
I went to the dentist (which is my dentist since i was 10 years old) last march 31, 2019 I have 4 crowns in my front upper teeth. And i have missing lateral incisor, first and second molar teeth on the left side upper. I told the dentist to replace my old crown front teeth and then put partial denture on the missing molar but she told me that i should get crowns on my upper from canine to second molar of my upper teeth so total of 8 teeth so it will look straight because the crowns on my front were obvious. I was hesitant at first, but I was drive with my decision to go for crown because my canine and first molar on the left is moving backward and because my front 4 crown teeth is obvious. I went home REGRETTING the decision i have made and going through the advice of my dentist and thinking why did she even recommend me such though she told me that i need fillings on those teeth still i find it healthy but only with gum receding on it, knowing that in the future i'll suffer. I promise myself years ago that i wont touch my canine teeth but i did. I should've listen to my mom but i didn't. I regret every single day i made that decision. Though i have accepted the fact that in the near future i will have denture because i have 2 teeth upper right molar that has fillings. @Yanbo Yang I have the same thought as yours as to why these people that are so blessed of having straight healthy white teeth go through procedure as i have seen on social media also they have straight good looking teeth. I am sorry for saying this but this is the truth, whatever shape your teeth or are crooked or etc BE HAPPY with it as long as it has no decay and cavity. Take good care of your remaining real teeth because nothing could ever replace it and that sensation of having your natural teeth, it is a struggle of having a fake one. In my case its in our genes that our teeth easily get decay. But as much as i have my lovely remaining real teeth to care of I AM REALLY TAKING GOOD CARE of it now. I started avoiding soda and other foods that can contribute to the damage of my teeth. I drink a lot of water. if your body doesn't get enough nutrients just like what its needed same with your teeth it will eventually decay (Based on my research). I am sharing this to all of you because the anxiety it brought to me the distressed and even my work is already affected, I woke up early remembering sitting on that dental chair that I SHOULD HAVE SAID to the dentist "NO DOC I'LL HAVE MY REAL REMAINING TEETH. Now, I still have my temporary which i feel is too big and felt like i was wearing a teeth guard for boxing, hence i was even thinking if its possible that i don't want it to get cemented so i could still brush my teeth inside of it when i get my still temporary because I could not be able to afford porcelain crowns. Moreover, thinking that if i could go through procedure like composite veneer though it may sound very impossible but I've seen case of tooth that went through composite even with small teeth remaining, thinking of ways to restore my teeth in a way i can still feel my natural one even if isn't as durable as the real teeth or veneer or crown, I just want to feel it. ;( I am really not ready for dentures. :'( And if by any chance in the future we can possibly regrow, or even missing enamel teeth to all dentist out there PLEASE make it even possible for everyone rich or poor it maybe. I know part of your work is business, and really dentistry is very expensive but I hope to all dentist out there that please do recommend to your patients what is best for their health and both with your pockets. This is not to make you feel bad for those that really desired to enhance their teeth but this is a precautions. I am hoping you get something out from here. It is way way better you look beautiful in natural.
Been watching your videos Doctor O, if only i have seen these vids earlier i would not have went through for crowns. Thank you for being an honest and conservative Dentist as you are. Only if i have so much money that i could easily fly from Philippines to your country (Imagining to win a lottery haha). Hope you could give me some advice, I am really looking forward to it. God bless you and God bless everyone. :)
So don't get crowns??
If you can't afford porcelain Which did you get ?? Zirconia?? That's more expensive I think ??
Same here i super regret it..
Thank you for the very well explain thought for crowning tooth
Me alegra ver este video, en dos días tengo cita para 2 coronas en dientes del frente y tengo ese mismo temor. Mi confirmación de cancelar la cita.
I don’t know but I have had my front crowns for the past 35 years I have them replaced twice first set were really cheap second set have a metal backing very strong they are amazing no decay non sensitive roots are alive. Veneers are delicate easily breakable
Anybody in Texas thinking like you, Dr?
I've been saying this to my new dentists FOREVER. I have veneers on my two front teeth and one cracked at the bottom. I want the veneers replaced and they want to crown them, because they said the teeth MAY be weak or break in the future. MAY. So let's remove more tooth tissue so they WILL be weak. No thank you. Still looking for another dentist willing to replace my veneers, since the one that did it retired.
Does it mean you made the bad choice but I do want you to watch him, I read the comments some people say that they’ve had these front crowns for 20 years and they’re doing fine, but please watch
Wasn't really a choice...had really bad cavities
Thank you so much for this, wish I seen this before I went to get my temporary crown a week ago (but on my molar, not front tooth) - since then, NOTHING but problems- I should have listened to my gut "If it's not broke, don't fix it" . I had to drive over 100 miles twice this week (taking time off work) because the dentist did not smooth out the temporary and it was literally cutting the side of my tongue for 5 days. I have to go back for the 3rd time as it's still rubbing the tongue and I am really unhappy. He also injected my mouth and half of my tongue is still numb and tingling 6 days later, I think he hit the nerve. A total NIGHTMARE. If I saw this video, I wouldn't gone as nothing was wrong with my tooth before this, now I'm paying for it, literally, with money from my own pocket, lost time from work, gas money not to mention entire weekends of irritability because my tongue is getting sawed against my defective tooth!!!! The only good news: I am eating less and talking less. Lost a few pounds in week because it's too sore to chew or even swallow.
I have crown's for 50 years and a hate it every day.....
I need a new dentist..let's see how far this practice is from me, I'm in Ohio...hmm
I told my dentist I was reactive to all types of metal. Still put a metal core crown on my molar. Totally destroyed my health
I have a fill-in and my dentist suggested a crown because my discoloration came back 😢 it’s my front tooth
I was in for a thorough exam last week and they said my root canals are infected and my filing feel out partly.And they said 8 cavities
I have a little over bite #4 .
Ever since I was me.
All I ever wanted was a healthy regular+ nice smile. The dentist here said many things yet also said cosmetic we will talk about at another time. That is not what i wanted to hear. I went there for the tooth pain originally. I am 90% Insured.Help me decide the real decision.
Please?
Yours Truly,
N.W.o
The same dentist that recommended the crown also drilled all my pits in one of my tooth filled it with filling and the bit feels unnatural and feels awful. I hate him and it is more sensitive now. There was no cavity on it he just did this anyway
This sounds better than removable cement or “snap on” too since your real tooth gets to breath instead of being covered.
Thank you for this very informative video!
I have a crown on the lower right hand side of the jaw and it fell of after around three years of being installed.
I noticed that the inside of the crown when it came off had a rotten tooth, bad smell to it.
The tooth itself did not have any visible decay. Instead it looked ok.
Went to the dentist three hours after it fell off.
He put cement on it and cemented it back in place.
I noticed straightaway that it was too high.
I told that to the dentist and he said that it should settle with time.
Right now it is around five hours latter and the tooth with the crown and the tooth opposite it, feel a sore or tender from the presure of the bite.
Is this normal?
Prior to it falling off, it was not too high. The only thing the dentist did was adding cement to it.
I have a crown/bridge in the front.. it hasn't been 8 months yet and now I'm getting full dentures....severe tooth decay under bridge and now it's bucking in the front and now getting removed...smh..dental horror story
Smart and handsome......I am impressed!
Thank you for reminding us that women still have a long way to be equal!
+Paul Blanchard Of course we should remind you.. If ALL man are smart ..no one would coment like you!
And if you were ugly no one would care! Reality check Princess!
+Paul Blanchard Iam listening AND watching video,Sorry, but my brain is responding to each information. ..
Paul Blanchard Dude.....what is your problem??! You & a few of your "friends" are trolling all the women who finds this intelligent, professional, & yes, handsome man like it's a personal issue.....wait..are all you guys actually his wife pretending to be different people? 😂😂🤣
I had two "same day" cnc crowns made. The process was super convenient. Both broke within 6 months. Maybe I'm hard on my teeth. Maybe I eat food that needs real chewing. My dentist recommended a lab made crown and that seems to have solved the problem.
Thanks for this informative video. I sure wish I had you around to evaluate my problem. My dentist wants to crown a problem tooth near the front because she claims there is not enough of it left to do a filling and it would cost a small fortune I cannot afford. I don't know what to do at this point.
Thank you for this video! I have veneers that are on my four front teeth. I had them since 1993. I have no issues and love them. I just had one implant done recently and the dentist said he wanted to replace all my veneers because of bacteria build. I was not sure about that since I have no issues with cavity or gum issues, not even nerve issues? I like my dentist, but I need to tell him tomorrow at my appt. that I DO not want to change them. I love my smile, I did not go to him to change my front teeth, only one tooth implant. Which has not been done yet because of a receding gum line that he did gum graft on? But the gum is still not taking to the receded area. Anyhow, that was painful and I just want the tooth implant service which is halfway done, only waiting for the post. I was told they wanted to give me a canine tooth implant and this is why they want to do the crowns so they can match the canine on the other side. BUT I never had canine teeth, to begin with? Yes, it looks normal, but I am starting to wonder now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kat
Don’t do Root Canals and crowns. My whole mouth is all that back in 95. Present, was in hospital due to unexplained sickness to almost going septic. I’ve lost some teeth, some broke so part of tooth is still there. I’m so devastated, no insurance and now lost my tooth in the front. I don’t like to smile anymore, going to start to cry again. More than a makeover at this point. God Willing
your hospital kinda
looks like an ikea
Good information. I was gonna do a crown on my 2 front teeth as it's broken due to a fall. For now they just did like a bond or filling on it. Till I wanna do do a crown. Was told crown will be stronger and better
They can grow every organ in labs now. But there is still no enamel restoration process yet?!?
There is advancement In stem cell research but it would ultimately be too expensive to impliment if we are been realistic
👩💻🗯"Very important question, If a crown was put on a back molar than underwent a root canal and buildup, CRACKED in less than a year with good dental hygiene, very careful flossing ,the whole bit ,careful about what foods are eaten. After the initial wait period and your able to floss and from the start after flossing a noticable odor. How dangerous is this the dentist makes the excuse not able to see it take anymore patients because if the Corona Virus. A crown should last 5 to 10 years or more not under one. In this case,shouldn't the insurance company that was payed to the last penny be notified? What to do in the meantime?
Like unless you had a root canal because of a serious cavity, you shouldn’t get crowns
Wow wee!! Thats one hunk of a dentist... He would thrill me when he drilled me !!
Naughty girl :-)
Damn annie. Im a dentist too. Let me drill you too
😭😭😭😭
I'm gonna be getting capped teeth for all my teeth due to my medical problems
OMY you are so cute & handsome 😍😍
I am impressed 💕👍👌 #NoCrown #YesYou 🤣
My suggestion is too always get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion
Our dentist said our only option front tooth wise are crowns or implants, and implants they quoted at $4,000 per tooth. I got 2 crowns.
I was so pissed when I lost 2 teeth and my dentist ground down 2 more teeth to make a crown. Wish I never did it. Have replaced it 3 times and now making a 4th round. 2 implants and veneers would have been my choice if I could go back 25 years.
I feel like I'd be better off if I never went to the dentist. They've given me a mouth full of fillings, root canals, crowns. I had a crown done today in my molar and my dentist says I need 2 more. That's despite the teeth not causing me any pain or problems. I'm going to tell him no more crowns or fillings.
