Dental crowns types and technic?

I know I recently asked about cerec crowns but I want to know why there is so much contaversy on thme. Another question I have is about having crowns adjusted to fit .I have had alot of crowns put in and I can tell that my dentist is getting testy about adjusting them .I have this one that needs drilled down .He already drilled it down once but its stil.l hittting ,The last time I asked he made a statement about pulling out the tooth above it.I said no way.You can see the high spot by just the eyes.I am going to ask him again and I am sure he will do it but my biggest question out of all of this is how does the dentist know how far they can drill or adjust on these crowns without hurting the crown.The crowns that need adjusted are gold .I am mainly concerened about one .Its so sore.

Dental crowns types and technic?
Crowns should be adjusted before they are cemented into your mouth. The thickness can be assessed with simple calipers. But once they're cemented, it's a bit of guesswork. No, you don't want to take out the tooth above. Instead, he should cut off the crown and make you a new one. Sure, he's not going to want to do this as it cuts out his profit, but he should've been more careful before cementation.


I'm not clear why it is sore. Is this something that was apparent before treatment, after cementation, or after adjustments?


Cerecs allow the dentist to make crowns in his own premises without the need for a lab. However, the colours are limited, and I would only put them on molars. The only advantage for patients is the relative quick turnaround to make them, but there are no significant technical advantages. It is more about marketing than a benefit to patients. Call me cynical if you like, but a dentist who has bought a $100,000 machine will suddenly seem to find more patients who need crowns.


I'd ask friends and relatives for recommendations to another dentist.
Reply:Sounds like you need a new dentist who listens to your suggestions.
Reply:Why are you so against Cerec? (Is that even spelled right?) My dentist is friends with some of the top dentists in the country and he is about to buy one for our office.
Reply:First of all your crown should not be sore at all! The dentist should have asked you if you were happy with it before you left the office the first time. I have a crown its porcelain. I have never had any trouble with it.
