Hello Dr Rotar,
I have a question. Actually, I would like a second opinion. On 11 September 2009 I received new upper teeth, or rather bridges. The invoice shows that the following was done: veneered crowns, an intermediate veneered pontic, Midor, etc. The problem is as follows. First, the result is very unaesthetic; everything is the colour of gold or brass. The second thing, which is also the most disturbing, is the pain. I feel as if my whole jaw is going to burst. I also have terrible headaches and dizziness. I have already been to my dentist several times, but she cannot find anything wrong. I simply cannot take Naklofen tablets 2–3 times every day. Please give me your opinion as to what might be wrong. I am also worried because on 20 October I am leaving abroad for six months.
Have a pleasant evening, Marija from Idrija.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Veneered crowns are not considered unaesthetic crowns, although at least in the visible area the metal should not be visible. The type of crowns should be decided upon before they are made. If you want an aesthetic restoration, I recommend metal-ceramic or all-ceramic crowns.
The pain is most likely a consequence of inflammation of the dental pulps after tooth preparation. I could decide on the type of treatment after a clinical examination and an X-ray. Root canal treatment will probably be necessary and should be carried out as soon as possible. Please make an appointment for an examination by phone: 04/5300660 or 040294488.
Have a nice day!
