Can I File a Claim or Get a Refund for a Worn Out Dental Crown?

My Zirconia Crowns Look Like White Blocks

Why Couldn’t I Get a Refund If My Dental Crown Was a Wreck?

I got a root canal and crown in 2013. I recently experienced some discomfort with the crown, and my new dentist said it was a wreck, so I got a new one two weeks ago. I called my previous dental office in PA, but they said there is no reimbursement for a crown that old. […]

Can a Crown That Covers a Dark Tooth Match My Surrounding Teeth?

I’m Getting My Dental Crowns Redone in Mexico

Do I Need Dental Crowns Just to Whiten My Teeth?

I just switched dentists, and she recommends new crowns for all the teeth that show when I smile. My smile is broad, and I already have three porcelain veneers and one crown on the teeth involved. This treatment seems to be too aggressive, and it’s not what I had in mind. I have dry mouth, […]

Why Do My New Dental Crowns Make My Mouth Dry?

I received same-day crowns in December to close a large gap. My dentist placed the crowns on six upper front teeth. Since then, my mouth hasn’t closed well, and the crowns interfere with my speech. I think the tension from it all is causing dry mouth and sore lips. I’m so tense that my jaw […]

Which Crowns Will Achieve a Better Match with My Teeth?

Last October, I received dental implants to replace four missing teeth. I opted for an implant for each missing tooth instead of a dental implant bridge.

Why Would I Need a Root Canal on a Tooth with a New Crown?

In October, my dentist put a crown over one of my upper right molars. The tooth was cracked and had an old silver filling in. The dentist had problems getting my tooth numb, so it felt like electric shocks when she was drilling. When the dentist checked my bite with my crown, I told her […]
