Do I need a crown on one of my molars?

I agree with your dentist. You are having all the symptoms of needing a crown.  When chewing is hurting this tooth, it sounds like the tooth is all ready cracked. I've never been a big fan of inlays/onlays; always thought you should go ahead & crown the tooth.

Please go to a dentist. There is nothing we can do for you. The dentist has to look at it. You may need it pulled or a crown.

Denchers? How old are you exactly?\nYour picture gives the impression you're about 19.\nMaybe you should change it...preferably to one without teeth.\nGet to the dentist love, is the answer to your question.

first you need to consult your dentist. sometimes, you can crown teeth that are not in line where they should be and create the appearance of straigter teeth but this doesn't always work if you are really too far out there- so only your dentist can tell you for sure.

Okay...the root canal is a great procedure to have...all that does is take the nerves out of your teeth which will keep you from having any further pain. However, you want to get porcelain veneers/crowns...make sure you see some of his work first. The process sucks because you have to have temporarys for 2 weeks first but the overall result is great. My top 2 front teeth have had both a root canal and crowns and trust me when I say I barely even had enough tooth to build on to. My teeth were chipped so bad my nerves were hanging out. You will probably want to get them redone in about 10 yrs. Hope this helps :)

Sometimes it may be necessary if it is close to the sinuses or nerve that runs along your chin. It is really difficult to answer this question without looking at your xray. Try another dentist. Ask your current dentist for a copy of your xray.

You're crown may need to be adjusted to your bite a bit more.  Call your dental office and explain to them what's going on.  They may want to check your bite and make sure it's not too tall.  They may also take an x-ray to make sure infection isn't present (root canals are 90% successful).  Good luck

a complicated question! alot depends on which tooth it is. obviously the front teeth are smaller and cannot handle the loss of alot of the tooth structure before either needing a crown or the decay getting into the nerve in which case- typically- it would need a root canal, a build up AND a crown to protect it.\n\nif it is a premolar or molar- you have a little more room to work with as far as restoring it with a filling instead of a crown, however, many times if it becomes a 3 or 4 surface restoration(where the decay has taken away the sides , the middle and other areas)- a crown might be the best protection for it because the large fillings can fracture or the rest of the tooth can fracture away from the filling. a filling repairs the tooth from the inside out kind of and a crown restores the tooth by completely covering it.\n\ni hope this helped explain it a little

your dentist can decide. i only had mine on for 11 months, but my friend had hers for 3 and 1/2 yrs. it depends on how much work needs to be done.

cavities around the gumline can be difficult to restore if the decay extends more than a millimeter or so below the tissue. when decay extends further down than that, sometimes it is necessary to remove some tissue before placing the restoration. if the filling that exists in the top of the tooth is large, and if this newly discovered decay is extensive, the tooth may need a crown after the decay is cleaned out and the cavity filled. remember that the more "filling" a tooth has, the more prone to fracture it is. when teeth do fracture, sometimes they cannot be restored at all, so placing a crown befoe that happens is oftentimes prudent if the fillings are large.

the crown is pressing too much against your gumz. Have your dentist give you a shot and tell him to go around your tooth with a cavitron. No this is not normal. Its normal for shitty dentistry.

I'd say about 97% of my patients don't need to be numbed while we seat the crown.  What you should expect is to feel some cold sensitivity and some "zings" as they take the crown off & on to make any adjustments. The worst part will be when they put the permanent crown on with the "cement" which is room temp. It will feel VERY cold for about 15-30 seconds and then will get better and better. Most patients say they would rather put up with a little bit of cold for a few seconds rather than being numb for hours.   Hope this answers your question.

Vee have our vays.  It all comes with knowing how to do it.  In a front tooth, I often do not need to make a surgical approach, but I can't speak for your dentist........

It really depends.  Some dentists are willing to do more things for purely cosmetic reasons than others are.  Have you thought about having them capped?

Prices usually vary per tooth. Molars are probably the most expensive tooth to do a root canal & crown on. The dental office I work for usually charge around $800 for crown & $800 for the root canal.  The closer to front of the mouth you go, the cheaper crowns & root canal are (due to easier work).
