Do porcelain crowns and veneers hurt, and are they worth the cost?

no they don't hurt,,, the worse part would be the shot.. they are worth the money ,, your smile is usually the first thing people notice,, yes they are a bit expensive , but you can have a couple done at a time if you cant afford to have them all done at once.but if your having the front teeth done with veneers you will want to have them all done at the same time so they can match the shade exactly the same,, good luck and smile proud!!

There are some really good whitening products available through your dentist.  Opalescence is a good one.  It takes a little longer for tetracycline staining than for regular stains but the wait is worth it.  Some say do veneers but they are expensive and only last 5 to 10 yrs last i heard. We're talking 5to 600 a tooth.

I would say 50% of patients are happy with zoom from my expericence. The biggest reason they are unhappy is there is EXTREME sensitivty while doing the procedure. Though the whitening takes an hour, be prepared to be in the chair for about 1.5-2 hours for prep and finalization. The only other thing is most offices will charge several hundered dollars for zoom and will not give you any trays for touch up so in a year......your spending a lot of money again either for another in office tx or for a take home kit. I prefer to offer take home whitening. Good Luck. Zoom works, but I would only do it if my teeth were not sensitive at all and if the price incleded trays and gel for touch ups.

700 for the root canal and around 350 for the crown.  I have had several and this seems to be my average out of pocket expense with 60% coverage.  It sucks but it's better than the toothless option.  Even people with dentures have to have alot of care so take care of what you have for as long as you can whatever the cost.  Once you catch up with the other teeth you will be happy.  I know I am.  Nothing worse than a real painful toothache or the smell of a rotten tooth.  Get er done.

Yes, no problem.  That is a problem most veneer patients wish they had.

yeah there's nothing like having your own teeth! I had 3 one was hurting like hell for day and night the others didn't hurt a bit! It saved my teeth so it's definitely worth it!

yes they do and they affect the color of your teeth even if you haven't got veneers. You can chew gum though. Veneers probably will need to be replaced in about 40 years though cause i cant see them lasting longer than that. Just remember not to drink coffee/wine everyday but i dont think once a week will stain them

i would get a second opinion.  If you have spent a ton of money putting them on...then it may be that your dentist wants more cash!

$620.00 - $1100.00 per porcelain veneer\nWhen performing this cosmetic dentistry procedure a dentist will typically quote porcelain veneer fees on a "per unit" (per tooth) basis. If you were to decide to have porcelain veneers placed on all six of your front upper teeth, you could expect that your costs would be six times your dentist's per unit fee.

The porcelain is bonded to metal for strength (you can get all porcelain crowns, but they are more expensive, for a bridge they are VERY expensive and some crack).\n\nThe margin is the edge of the crown, where it meets the tooth. He/she is telling the lab to keep the metal away from that edge and put porcelain there. It will look a lot more natural - no dark/black line along the gums. It is more involved for the dental lab to do this so they charge more.

Lady! you have got some good ole  Tori.  Your dentist is correct. Cost somewhere between $200-300 per side.  Believe me it is worth it. A hard denture riding on those bones would be worse then a bur under the saddle of a horse. You should heal in about a week and the dentures will fit better.  But remember a lower denture will never fit very well.  The tongue, lips and floor of the mouth will make that baby jump around the rest of your life.  I personal recommend that you see about having implants placed to help stabilize or anchor that thing in.  Never get mad at a dentist for a poor fitting denture. It will never be as good as real teeth.

no, it will not stain your porcelain crowns or veneers.  but it can do some major damage to the rest of your mouth, as well as your body.  I think your should be more worried about getting cancer of the liver, pancreas, tongue, throat, stomach, etc.  Did you know that cancer of the mouth is one of the hardest to treat, let alone treating with out leaving any disfiguring scars?  Not so worried about staining your teeth now are you?

Yes, they do make a temporary cement that you can purchase over-the-counter in the event you can't get to a dentist and need to cap placed back on immediately.  However.. keep in mind that the cement is "temporary"!!  Most people think that as long as it keeps it on that's it's ok.  Not the case.  Get in to see your dentist as soon as possible so it can be recemented properly.  The tooth and the inside of the crown needs to be cleaned and also it will be seated correctly if the dentist does it.  Not doing it properly could lead to caries developing underneath the crown.  Also, if a crown is left off for too long, the tooth will shift causing the crown to no longer fit... a new crown will be very costly.

The cost of a porcelain veneer is per tooth and depending on where you live in the U.S., will range between approximately $600 - $1500... also, insurance will not pay anything on this procedure as it is considered cosmetic.  As for the shade, you and your dentist will decide on the shade together using a shade guide...  you choose a bright white shade although I would not suggest it because it is not natural at all and it will look like a white picket fence in your mouth.

It really depends on your motivation and hygiene.   I would tend to take longer, be more conservative,  if I thought you didn't quite grasp the oral hygiene requirements, required by complicated dentures, both fixed and removable.  In cases where I have doubt I build more frequent hygiene appointments into the price of the treatment.   \n\nIf your hygiene was good.\nI would certainly recommend the faster plan, as life tends to get in the way of lengthy treatment plans.  However, one consideration would be the amount of time between the root canal and the crowns going over the treated teeth.  I would generally recommend minimum 1 month go by before crowning the  endodontically treated or("Root canalled")teeth.   This would be to see if an infection develops.   this year particularly I have had to pull or destroy several freshly placed crowns on patients who came to me from other offices, because the crowns were placed to quickly after a Root Canal.  You also need some time between extractions and impressions for the final denture or prosthesis that your dentist plans to make.   A temporary prosthesis can be made to wear while you are in treatment.

The cost depends on the type of crown. There are 3 types:\n\n1.Metal Dental Crowns are made of gold alloy, palladium, nickel alloy, or chromium alloy. Metal dental crowns\nare ideal for and often used on the back teeth.\n\n2. Ceramic Dental Crowns look like normal teeth and are ideal for use on the front teeth.\n\n3. Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) Dental Crowns are stronger than ceramic crowns and also look like normal teeth. Like ceramic dental crowns, PFM dental crowns are ideal for use on the front teeth. \n\n\nAs well, it depends on if you have dental benefits. Myself, I would pay 10% of whatever the cost. So, probaly less than $50.00
