dental insurance that covers crowns

They may not do it due to the fact that you're pregnant. Most dentists say that it is unsafe to get a whitening while pregnant.

If you consulted with your doctor, and they recommended crowns, I would go with crowns. Depending on your case, of course, there may be a bite issues or crowding issue that may prevent use of veneers. Also, if you are expecting dental insurance to pay anything towards it, you would need to have crowns placed & not veneers. Insurance considers veneers cosmetic & crowns restorative. Normally, ceramic crowns are all ceramic & do not have any metal included.

Three days ago while eating pound cake of all things, my crowns/bridge fell out. I no longer have dental insurance, live in a different state than before, am in severe pain and my jaw is swelling. Dont know what to do. feels like a nerve is exposed. The ground down teeth are both black in color. Is that the way they were prepared before crowning?

Not many dentists or dental Unversities will blame dental problems on a autoimmune diseases because Health Insurance would have to pay for bridges, dental inplants, crowns, root cannals, periodontal cleanings and so on. The Dental companies, such as, 3M and Nobel Biocare are far more shady and greedier than the pharmaceutical companies. If you don't believe me, call Nobel Biocare and ask them if they have a patient assistant program, the operator will practically hang up on you !

response to q 1. temporary crowns are usually made in one piece if the teeth involved are next to each other. i see nothing wrong with making what you percieve to be one temporary on four teeth. however,it should be contoured so it is shaped like four separate teeth, and especially since it is one piece, it should not come off so easily. the longer the temporary, the better it should stay on. despite it coming off, decay should not really settle in that quickly.

s a premolar on my left side) that had extensive decay underneath it. She recommended that I get a dental crown for it since the decay went so deep. I recall that they had to fill the amalgam-depositing device three times before they got the entire thing filled up. That's probably bad news... I also have an incisor (the right one next to the two front teeth) that she also recommended getting a crown for, since it had 3 composite fillings in it.

I have a couple of crowns that have some decay under them. The crowns are not that old and I have been told that the dentist will have to remove them, fix the cavaties and then install new crowns. My question is, do I really need new crowns?

my insurance denied the procedure (not sure if its not a covered bene or if theres a waiting period) but regardless the office is taking no responsibility for the root canal... being that the pain wa a result of the crowns procedure...i dont feel they coated the teeth enough beofre putting on the crowns and also dont remember much water in the drilling... Im leaving the dentist and plan to go to an endodontist...

Right now I am really aggravated because I have two crowns on the left side that came off today...and were just reattached last week. Now I have a single crown on my right side that came off too....and, no, I did not eat anything hard. The one on the right smells totally horrible...this is one with the post sticking out....the two on my left side that are attached DO NOT smell. I believe the right one smells because that crown has nothing backing it up on its side...

The decision is a clinical one.You will find that certain dentists are more comfortable doing crowns and there are others that are more conservative, would like to conserve as much tooth structure as possible and prefer to do onlays and inlays. I believe that a well made inlay can last a very long time without having to impinge on the gum tissue. Again it is a clinical call and you need to have sufficient tooth structure to warrant doing the inlay.

Is there any sealant or bonding that can be done instead of crowns. I will do what i need to do, but insurance does not cover crowns and 4 will be pretty costly. and i would like to avoid the stainless steel crowns in his mouth if i can. any thoughts?

I am having a hard time emotionally after the placement of three dental crowns to replace big fillings. I have the feeling that two of them were totally unecessary and I feel I've lost two of my teeth. I hope to be wrong and I do not want to think my new dentist would do something this awful for cash. Need some reassurance! Two molars, one pre-molar. One of the molars had an old root canal, did not bother me at all but do understand that at some point it is good to crown them.

I am so scared that my new crowns are already going bad. Please see my previous two posts to see my full story. I saw a 27 year old's post about 8 crowns going bad and wanting to have his teeth pulled. I had ten good teeth, just had a layer of slightly discolored and aging bonding on them. My dentist encouraged me to have ten teeth crowned at once. I saved for these crowns for years.

Thank you very much for the reassurance! I will ask my dentist to minimize noise and drilling time as much as possible. I think it's longer for crowns than for fillings (and it's crowns I'm going to be getting), but I don't want to end up with rotten teeth and having to get root canals.

How close to the gumline is it optimal for a dental crown to be? Cosmetically it would look best (because I can have a big smile when laughing hard) if it completely covered the tooth and almost touched the gum. How many mm above the gumline should it be? Am I in for trouble if it touches the gumline later on? The crowned tooth is the third from the back which starts with my wisdom teeth. the natural tooth at the gumline is a darker grayish and the crown will match my B3 or 5 teeth.

I have 3 crowns that had to be replaced because of the original dentist who left them in hyper occlusion. My jaws hurt also and I could not figure out why until the specialist adjusted them down to the right size; my jaw and my ear quit hurting some what, but not completely. My one jaw is still a little sore and I have ringing in my one ear, which I am hoping will go away eventually. Let me know how your issue turns out. PS I had to get an attorney regarding my situation.

I recently had business dealings with a dental implant specialist who during the course of chit chat indicated to me that the best thing that had happened to his business was the proliferation of crowns on live teeth. He indicated that crowns were problematic and resulted in the loss of teeth to a degree not contemplated by the Dental community. In response to my question about what he would do with his own teeth he indicated he would keep on filling them in the traditional way.

If the infection has not cleared up by now I would think that the crowns should be removed. I think you can place temporaries that are not irritating to the tissue. At times temporaries have to remain on for extended period of time and they do just fine. It depends how the temps are made, the corrrect contour and whether they are polished so they will not be an irritant to the gingiva. I think at this point you may need to bite(excuse the pun) the bullet and start over.

Hi I recently went to the dentist to do two root canals, when I went for the second stage of root canal(the prepping of the tooth for the crowns) I noticed while the dental assistant was preparing the gums for, as she put it to get a proper impression, I noticed she took up a very large syringe or at least it looked like a syringe, that was filled with a red substance, I noticed it but I just thought it was some kind of medicine for the gum, but because I have anxiety, when I came home I starte

I am having and adverse reaction to certain dental ceramics. I have written to the companies that make the ceramics and they say it has never happened. I am wondering if they just have not documented reports of this. I hope I am not the only person who has ever had this problem. This is what happened: I had veneers but I was allergic to the cement - probably the acrylic in it. I am allergic to acrylic.

ve already had that surgery and they are just waiting until the one that go done a second time stabilizes within the bone. About a month and a half away from doing the crowns that go over the implants. Starting treatment tonight. I had waited already and had anticipated being done by now but can't wait forever for treatment. What do you think?

I have had a gold and porcelain crown side by side for about 15-20 years, and never had any problems. I do think that of my many crowns, the ones done in gold are far superior, and my first ones that I had done on my back lower molars are still great, and they were done 31 years ago!!

are you sure? how can you say that? do you know any people who have dental crowns and got the MRI scan with them?

In response to Dr. Tsang's comment,I will have a temporary correct. I do not have to leave the office with an ugly tooth?

scottma is correct if you are low income there are usually state supported clinics you can go to with proof of income that provide a sliding scale for payments. these provide basic dental care so dont expect cosmetic procedures, braces, or root canal/ crowns. they might provide necessary extractions.

I had crowns oplaced on all 14 upper teeth 5 weeks ago and since the permanents were put in, I have red inflammed gums above all my crowns but worse at the front that sometimes bleed and I suffer from gum pain, some teeth sensitivity and what really worries me, is that I have headaches since the procedure. I rarely had headaches before this procedure. Surprisingly, I had fewer problems with the temporaries.
