Why does my tooth hurt after crown?

Hi, There are several reasons why your tooth hurts. First, you just had a procedure done two days ago. This is very recent. Treatment causes pain and this pain can last up to a few weeks. Make sure to check your bite and see if the tooth you just had treated touches first. If this tooth touches first before your other teeth, then the bite needs adjusting. Another reason for pain could be a nerve issue, but it's too soon to say since treatment was just performed.

Hi, Yes, your body can reject a dental implant. While it is rare, some individuals are allergic to the metals in the dental implant. Rejection of an implant during the initial healing period can happen from bacterial colonization of the implant or from micro-movement of the implant. Implants that successfully integrate to the bone can be lost over time from either overloading forces applied to the implants or from bacterial infection that develops from improper oral hygiene.
Are zirconia veneers permanent?

Hi, Nothing in dentistry is permanent. Zirconia veneers, like other veneers, have an average life expectancy of 10 years. Proper use and home care are vital to ensure longevity. Veneers fail due to recurrent decay at the margins. Veneers are restorations that cover the outside surfaces of teeth and are strong and beautiful. They are long-lasting. However, they are subject to deterioration over time due to biting forces, what you eat, and how well you maintain them. Always plan to do procedures like veneers under the assumption that they will need to be redone in the future.

You must be careful when looking for the cheapest way to solve a problem. Oftentimes that is not the best way. If you want to do something that is inexpensive and reversible, I suggest you try a Snap-On smile. This is a removable overlay that goes over your existing teeth. The best way to fix crooked teeth is to braces. First, you should have a dental examination and necessary x-rays to rule out the disease. Crowns and veneers are very expensive and cause irreversible changes to the teeth. Composite bonding might be a consideration. But again, you will spend some money having this done, and the changes may be irreversible. Don't cut corners when it comes to your teeth.

What are the options for a missing front tooth?
Hi,
Your options are:
1) Dental Implant
2) Fixed bridge

Hi,
Your options are:
1) Dental Implant
2) Fixed bridge
3) Removable partial denture
Which option you go with depends on several factors. You need enough bone to get a dental implant. Your medical history and oral health status will also play a role in whether you can get a dental implant. The health of the neighboring teeth will determine if a fixed bridge is an option. The cost will also be a factor.
You should seek dental consultation to evaluate whether you are a candidate for these options and discuss the cost. Hope this helps.

There are several options, depending on the size and reason for the space. The first option is braces. While this takes time, it is the least invasive. The next option might be to do some cosmetic bonding to the teeth. This will make the teeth look larger, but is a cost-effective option. Then there are veneers and/or crowns. This option can produce the best esthetic results (outside of braces), but will be the most costly and will have to be repeated every 10-15 years. You should consult with a dentist to have a proper evaluation of your mouth, teeth and gums, and determine which one of these options would suit you. Hope this helps.
