The Best Dental Crown's?
Judging by some of your answers, you are a young guy. NOTHING is made to last your lifetime, since you may have another 60 years or more to go.





There are many "brands" of porcelain crowns. The longest lasting would probably be porcelain-fused-to-cast gold, but they might not be the ultimate best looking for a front tooth. In my own mouth, if it was possible to use, I'd want an Empress crown on a front tooth. It's a brand name and it's very good. Procera would be my very close second choice. Maybe Lava...
Reply:Gold alloy, cost about 100 quid through NHS, don't trust a young dentist to put one in.
Reply:FULLGOLD CROWNS FOR THE BACK TEETH AND CAPTEK OVER PORCELAIN CROWNS FOR ANY VISIBLE TEETH ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHOICE. IN BOTH CASES THE PART OF THE CROWN THAT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THETOOTH OR GUMS IS GOLD, AND BACTERIA WHICH ARE PRESENTI IN ALL MOUTHS ARE REPELLED BY GOLD. NO OTHER MATERIAL HAS THIS PROPERTY, NOT EVEN RORCELAIN CROWNS.


AS A DENTIST, I'VE ASKED MANY OF MY OLDER PATIENTS HOW LONG THEY'VE HAD THAT GOLD CROWN? WHEN THEY SAY IT'S BEEN 35 OR 50 YEARS, I KNOW THAT THERY HADE THE RIGHT CHOICE BACK THEN. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHEN THEY'RE ASKED IF THAT CROWN EVER GASVE THEM ANY PROBLEMS, AND THE REPLY IS ALWAYS "NO", I ABSOLUTELY KNOW THEY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
Reply:Dental crowns can be hand made by a back room specialist or produced to order in a factory-like conditions. The latter is common because they can undercut the craftsman. Dentists go the cheap way. The latter is also common because the equipment costs are always going up and sole trader building crowns cannot compete.





I have found one in four of the cheap crowns are so badly made they are faulty. This can mean the loss of a perfectly good tooth and a bridge built. Even the good ones only lasted 20 years. The cheaper ones were actually better, apart from the one that broke!
Reply:I had a Russian patient who had some nice stainless crowns- fitted well too, somehow-and classy on the upper incisors........
Reply:I had two new crowns (front teeth) done last summer. I've had crowns for many years and my gums had starting to recede showing a thin black line which told me that I should replace them.


My dentist who is a perfectionist spent some time choosing the right shape (lenth of them) and the colour which needs to match up to your natural shade. The material is enamel and you could stamp on them, otherwise unbreakable. The cost £250each. They will last a lifetime..


I am really pleased and it has made me smile more than ever..


My dentist offered me various payment methods%26gt;


Post dated cheques


Denplan


Credit Card





or you could save up yourself..





Good luck x
Reply:I'm a dental nurse who's worked with a Private dentist. When I needed a crown I could have what ever I wanted. I chose a Procera crown. They are the most natural looking, Are strong and in my opinion are the best on the market. They are more expensive ( about £450 I think) but they are worth it.No dentist will give a guarantee that something will last a lifetime, it depends on how good your oral hygeine is, what you eat, whether you play contact sports, whether you abuse your teeth opening things like beer bottles with them. It may be worth you looking at an insurance scheme like Denplan after the crown work has been done as this should help towards costs if the crown needs replacing in future.
Reply:most crowns have a life span of approx 10 years they can last longer but its more luck than judgement
