My two crowns have lasted 40+ years!!

[@thedancinghamsterqueen]

this made me feel better. im having to get a crown on my bottom front tooth cause it chipped really badly and trying to use a filling twice ended up with the filling snapping off. i was worried about the crown lasting but even the doctor I spoke to told me the crown should last me 10-25 years but apparently they can last even longer!

[@sravyapathipaka]

Do you feel any weight

[@lindaaben]

Mine has lasted 29 years. It will be replaced in february and my dentist will also place a crown on another fronth tooth. The other tooth was also broken on the top when i fell but was still alive. The other tooth was repaired but is discolouring for a long time. Its darker than the other tooth. Now with the two crowns it finally will look better. If they last 28 years again i will be 72.

[@lindaaben]

​@@sravyapathipaka They feel like real tooth. But not now. I have one crown. It has been in my mouth for around 29 years. But i have a chip on my porcelain (fronth of the tooth) now. So i will be happy if i have a new tooth

[@stratolestele7611]

Yep. My dentist's veneers still look absolutely perfect after 27 years. For him, and for me, wearing a guard at night is essential.

No insurance coverage: (in USA) X-ray: $120 Root canal: $1,065 Temp crown + permanent crown: $1,700 Upcoming 6 cavity repairs: $1,600 Pain being gone: priceless. Wasn’t cheap but anytime I did dental work it was always worth it

Went to the dentist 2 weeks ago and she did a root canal on my tooth. I didn't feel a thing and it was honestly strangely relaxing lmao. I honestly could have fallen asleep if I was tired. And when I went back in to get the crown she said she wasn't going to use any anesthesia to make sure she got the infection and if I felt any pain at all she would give me anesthetic, well didn't feel a thing during the crowing procedure besides one part where they put like a blue string like looking thing around the base of my tooth, that was a little uncomfortable. But it was just like u flossed, little too rough. But I'm so glad to have gone. No more tooth pain is A HUGE RELIEF and a lot of stress gone. I was literally laughing at myself when I got home at how scared I was for no reason. Lmao. Edit : just wanted to add for the root canal the only thing I did feel was the 1st initial shot of the anesthetic. Which isn't too bad because they rub lidocaine on your gums beforehand but it still stings just a tad.

I stopped trusting crowns when two different dentists placed two different crowns, and both failed within a year. Dentistry has become a rip off, and I no longer trust dentists. It was one thing when i was a kid, dentists were an honest medical profession. Dentists have become the used car salesmen of the medical field. Now I am just relegated to waiting for my teeth to fall out because there are no honest dentists in the metro Phoenix area.

[@Twinscorpiomom]

The reason my teeth got so bad, was because I had so many bad dentists one after another and just finally quit going. I figured I will wait til they are beyond repair to see one. 12 years later and I finally had a tooth so bad I had to go to a dentist. I got really lucky with this one. I wish I had found them years ago, ended up needing 2 root canals and 4 crowns :( 12 years ago could have just gotten a filling or two. I hear you though.. it is super hard to find trustworthy dentists anymore. So far everything has been good with this one, hopefully these crowns last me a long time.

I'm sorry you've had the poor experiences. As you're close to Mexico and Latin America, you could consider having your work done there for MUCH less money.

There are PLENTY of excellent dentists there, just as is the case in any major Metropolitan area.

Just got my temp crown this morning (to replace a broken 20 yr old crown; the full one is being fitted in a few weeks). Mine have lasted me quite some time (but in the month or so I waited for my appointment (I'm in the UK), a half crown I had done in 2015 fell off whole....so my dentist just cleaned it (it hadn't taken any of the tooth with it) and re-cemented it. (the NHS in the UK don't "really" cover dentistry like the other elements....they have like a 3-tier structure a - £20 b £70 and c £300...obviously a crown is c but if you needed 1 - 12, they'd still just be the £300...so it's clearly subsidized).

As a dental assisting student, we are taught that composites are your first go to than a root canal .a root canal is much more invasive taking away the nerve , you should only get a root canal if that is the only choice. Think about people with dentures, they cannot feel what they are checking it actually is a weird feeling compared to what it feels like when we chew. We have nerves we can feel everything we do with our teeth.if you get root canal you remove your nerve it changes more than you would think , that’s the easy way out which is why a root canal is cheaper .

[@BoneOfBoneville]

Hi! I hope you are not still suffering. So what my dentist told me is that a crown must be thicker to protect the tooth inside. It also keeps it strong so when you bite, it won’t crack or break. My crown bothered me for a month. I had to have it adjusted 3 times. Go back to your dentist, and explain everything you feel. Have them do the carbon paper marking, multiple times and tilt your head left and right. Often times we bite straight down to test the bite, but when we chew it’s not just straight up and down. I hope this advice helps 💗

Okay so I really hope you see this so that I can get your opinion on if it’s a scam or not. The other day, i had x rays done since I started going to this new dentist. They showed me the xray, and they found a cavity between teeth #3 & #4 and the cavity is actually on both of those teeth. From what I remember, the dentist said that it seems pretty small so he’ll just continue to monitor it and I just need to be better at flossing and brushing. If the cavity gets bigger, he said one option (or only option, i don’t remember) would be to get a crown on one of those teeth, and get a large filling on the other one to prevent any other root canals needing to be done. Is that a thing? Would just fillings be enough or would that cause further issues? I started going to this office because the crown I had gotten initially at a different office was done so poorly I went to this office for a second opinion (this replacement crown fits so much better)

[@ThriveDentist]

Doesn't seem that odd but of course it would depend on xrays etc.

[@beemikeme]

Definitely don't allow any root canals done in your mouth. They end up leading to health problems in the years to come. Check into the subject from holistic dentists.

[@inkbold8511]

Root canal doesn't last forever, at max around 20 years and for hard chewers it's likely around 10 years. Wasting money on root canal is not worthwhile just go and get implant and be done with that tooth.

When they grind your teeth to fit the new crown, does this grinding affect your tooth enamel? Because dentist indicated my crown needed to be replaced because it had a crack, I trusted him and it was replaced it, when it arrived it was very high, and now I am having issues bcs dentist keeps grinding my bottom and top teeth (top teeth is my original, no filling, etc) but dentist indicated they cannot grind the crown, to avoid breaking it, then, now they grinded, but then my left side where they replaced a filling (they said it needed to be replaced, when it was done I believe four years ago), now I am having headaches on both sides of my mouth , left and right top and on the right side, where the crown was replaced the pain extends from where the location of the crown to my neck, just below. I believe the right side was grinded too much that now my structure is uneven, so please advise, because I am really tired of dealing with this issue. It feels that the left side is higher than the right side. If dentist was notified that the crown was too high, why he did not send it back to be replaced for the right one? Please advise... I am tired of going back and then having issues. I had always taken care of my teeth, so all this grinding is worrying me. My former dentist retired and this new dentist took over, he was well recommended by my former dentist. I am very worried about all the grinding and all new problems, because I never had these issues before with my other crowns. My former dentist always told me, "if you have no pain or it is not bothering you, I do not need to do anything, but it is just decision". I was needed all this work done in my last visit with my dentist last year, before he retired.

Hello sir , I got my silver temporary crown removed for a permanent crown . I had the silver crown since I was like a kid not sure age. But now with the porcelain my bite feels off. After multiple adjustments I'm now being told I will need braces . I'm noticing on the left side where crown is instead of a nice curve it goes in a straight line but not in a good way. My right side also feels slightly like it's hitting high. I got a tooth near the crown adjusted because it got a filling but was told they didn't want to go any lower and that I will need braces. But I never had this issue with the silver crown . Does this have to do with my crowded bottom teeth or is something wrong with the crown itself. I've been told the crown looks fine . So was wondering if braces is my last resort. When I line up my right side best I can I'm noticing a slight gap between top teeth and the crown . Please I'd like to hear your opinion. Thanks

I have been interested in getting porcelain veneers for a long time. My dentist first told me I could just get 6 veneers. I read somewhere that if a dentist tells you to just get 6, they were just trying to get your money because you really need at least 8 to look right. Now, the same dentist is telling me that I should get 8 crowns to give them more support. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my teeth and I have never had any cavities on those front teeth. I feel like he is just trying to get more money. Do you think I should get crowns if nothing is wrong with my teeth?

[@josephkelly13]

No don’t do that. It’s a pretty bad idea to get veneers for no reason. The crowns could fail in time or they could just look like shit. If it fails the dentist will have to reprep your teeth to put on new crowns, by doing that they’ll remove more of you teeth. It will also cost more. And yeah there are a lot of dentists out there just getting money. Keep ya naturals they look fine. If anyone is giving you grief about them, they’re a piece of garbage. If you do get the veneers, don’t get zirconia. It’s cheaper, but if the crown is improperly made it could grind your opposing teeth as it’s a harder material than tooth enamel. Get porcelain fused to lithium disilicate or porcelain fused to metal. Take care.

[@josephkelly13]

Felt like I didn’t answer your question. 6 veneers can match your natural teeth but you’ll need a good dentist with a good laboratory.

Thank you so much for replying. When I said nothing was wrong with my teeth, I meant I have never had any cavities or other problems with my front teeth that I feel like would justify crowns. My teeth are spaced out though and I have been considering veneers for a long time. I think I will go to a dentist who specializes in cosmetic dentistry. Again, thank you so much for answering my question.

[@josephkelly13]

Ah I see. Definitely ask around. One more thing, more of a personal gripe of mine. Ask them to see what lab they are using. Do a little digging. Look up the lab that they are using. And I know better crowns are more expensive, but you’re going to have these things in your mouth for everyone to see for a long time. Not everyone is a sheister, but there’s a lot of funny business goin on in the industry. Stay safe, be sneaky, and please be kind. You don’t want to make an enemy out of a potential friend. God bless

American dentistry is a complete rip off. I hope every American dentist loses customers

[@rasheedjeffries5754]

Just had my first root canal….. shit is expensive. But yeah they charge so much because they know you have no choice to come to them. Once you get a dental disease and it is untreated it can risk your life, they know this and take advantage of you

[@Golf-ib4wg]

@@rasheedjeffries5754 I had a full mouth rehabilitation out of the country . The US dentist wanted 70k to do it. Who are they kidding? I had 10 root canals. 8 in the first day. They were a $100 a piece and took 30 mins. American dentist take all day to do it, czuse if they did it in 30 mins they couldn’t justify the price. Just curious, how much was your root canal and how long did it take?

If you had a root canal prior to the crown there is nothing left to decay 😂

Insurance and it’s free for me. But very pricey I had to wait 3 years though because before I got good insurance to get four crowns done would of been over 4k.

I broke half my left front tooth I always had it fixed with resin I went to the dentist today and she said I needed a root canal and a crown and that I should get crowns on my main 4 front teeth because one crown would not look good is this true ? I don’t want to get 3 more crowns on perfect good teeth

[@ThriveDentist]

It's very tough to match a crown to natural teeth so sometimes people will do a crown and veneers

[@robertwendal5894]

Yes Crowns don't match the rest of your teeth, all 6 of my top fronts are crowns despite having only one cavity in the front that required a root canal. Yes it sucked but surprisingly only a little soreness for a few weeks.

[@PerrincinaSprecaci]

Can you please answer ASAP if you get this comment today? I have to go in for an impression tomorrow for 2 crowns but I feel like I'm being scammed. I went in for xrays two weeks ago and the dentist said nothing about any of my teeth being fractured, just said that I have a space between two teeth and two crowns are needed to prevent decay from food getting stuck in there. Does this sound plausable?? It doesn't to me and I'm terrified to consent to having my teeth filed down unnecessarily. PLEASE ADVISE!

[@ThriveDentist]

Sounds a little suspicious, but I don't have the full story. I would get a second opinion just in case.

I hope you called back the office. It means your crown isn’t seated properly and you may be biting on it first when you close your mouth. The office needs to adjust it for you.
