I'd be very irked if my crown was loose after only a year and wonder whether my dentist did a bad job on it. I hope it goes well for you though and that this new dentist does a better job so it can last for years! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-to-replace-your-crown-for-your-tooth#post-672699 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:12:10 +0000 lamariniere 672699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: I am going through this right now! Saw the dentist last week and he said my porcelain crown is loose and needs to be replaced. I just got it last year! But I moved right after getting the crown, otherwise I would go back to see my old dentist. I am leery as to what is in there and just hope the whole thing goes quickly and smoothly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-to-replace-your-crown-for-your-tooth#post-671953 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:50:10 +0000 cranberryapple 671953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: Oooh, glad to hear a porcelain crown can last so long! I would not be a surprised if my dentist did a bad job with my root canal. He did a bad job with my crown and left too much spacing between the crown and the adjacent tooth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-to-replace-your-crown-for-your-tooth#post-671861 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:51:50 +0000 marionberry 671861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: I had a crown that was 11 years old replaced last year. Both were porcelain and it was a pretty easy process. If the dentist who did your first root canal did a good job, there shouldn't be much work to be done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-to-replace-your-crown-for-your-tooth#post-671846 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:39:36 +0000 cranberryapple 671846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: Thanks for the encouragement! My crown has been worn down for awhile, and my dentists never pressured me to get it replaced, so I guess that's why I put it off. My gums are starting to recede as well. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-to-replace-your-crown-for-your-tooth#post-671633 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:40:36 +0000 KT326 671633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had two porcelain crowns replaced. One was because my last dentist did a not so great job and on the other it was because my gums around it were starting to recede. At least I think that is why. I know it was something to do with my gums around the crown. It was a really easy process, I just hate getting the molding stuff put in my mouth. It always makes me gag! </p> <p>You really should get it replaced! Especially if the dentist recommends it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-to-replace-your-crown-for-your-tooth#post-671617 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:30:20 +0000 cranberryapple 671617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did your old crown last, and was the process scary/troublesome? Was it a metal crown or a porcelain crown? Was there decay underneath the crown? I'm nervous about what they might find underneath my metal crown because X-rays can't see through metal. Who knows what sorta bacteria have been festering underneath! :/ I've worn down my crown where the metal shows through but have avoided getting it replaced for years! </p>
