Visitor asks:
Hello!
At the age of ten I broke my upper central incisor (more than half of the tooth). The dentist then rebuilt the missing half on the remaining part of the tooth, if I am not mistaken with the material also used for fillings, or in any case with some material so that I now have a complete tooth. For all 15 years this solution has been satisfactory and has not caused, and still does not cause, any health problems. The only problem is that this tooth is a different color from the others; it is slightly darker.
I would like to know whether a porcelain crown can be placed on such a tooth, what the procedure is and what it costs.
I should also add that I have gum problems—periodontitis?—and I am being treated by a specialist in periodontal diseases.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards, Ana
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
A porcelain crown can be made on the tooth. We prepare the tooth in question (grind it into a conical shape), take an impression and place a temporary crown, which you wear for approximately one week. During this time the technician makes an artificial crown in the laboratory, which we cement onto the prepared tooth stump at the second visit. Price:
- EUR 210 (metal-ceramic)
- EUR 350 (all-ceramic).
Have a nice day!
