Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam!
I kindly ask for your opinion.
On my upper central incisor I have a metal post, over which there is a gold covering and a porcelain crown. What bothers me is that because of the gold covering the crown is positioned forward. I would like to know whether it is possible to replace the post with a non-metal one, what the risks are, and of course the price of the complete treatment with a porcelain crown.
Thank you in advance for your explanation.
Kind regards!

Dear Sir/Madam!
I assume that your central incisor is restored with a metal-ceramic crown on a custom-made metal post. Whether or not the post can be removed could only be determined after removing the crown and taking an X-ray. There is a risk of damaging the root while removing such a post. If we manage to remove it, it can of course be replaced with a non-metal post. Price: post EUR 30 (zirconia or fiberglass) + crown EUR 350 (all-ceramic) = EUR 380.
Have a nice day!
