Dentist Needs to Make More Than 2 Crowns?? Posted: 05-25-05 01:18am
I have been really frustrated and helpless
about my dental work.
My dentist did a crown work for me due to
cracked tooth syndrome.
No root canal was done since my tooth was
tested with cold and the nerves reacted
normally.
I went in the second week of april and had
the tooth grinded to a dwarf size, then
the dentist left me to his assistant to
prep the tooth and also had the assistant
take the impression. My gum was hurting
for a week after that. When I went in for
the permanent crown 3 weeks later, the
assistant was the one adjusting the crown
for me and almost grinded my upper tooth
since I kept hitting the crown before my
other teeth (the crown is for the bottom
tooth). When the dentist came to see me
to glue the crown, he said that the margin
was not good/not closed at one spot so he
had me redo the whole process. I had to
go in a week after that to take the
impression for the second crown. I told
him however to have him do it rather than
his assistant which he did. Then I just
went in again today, two weeks later after
the second impression, to have the
permanent crown put in. Again, the margin
of the new crown is not closed at the same
spot. He told me to go back to redo the
whole thing again and mentioned something
about the possibility of
polishing/smoothing out the tooth next to
the one needing crown to fix this margin
thing.
I am sorry if this is a long message, but
I am just so worried and upset right now.
Can anybody share some insights
pleasssseeee.....Appreciate any help...
My concerns are if it's harmful to have
the temporary crowns for months?? (will
be 2 months).
Will it create any trauma to the tooth and
gum with the repeating impressions and
adjustment?? (he needs to give me
injections for the impressions)
should I go back or should I find another
dentist? Will the insurance pay?

If they are well done, pangsit,
but you should have your dentist doing the
work, not his assitant.

there are some works the assistant could
do depending of the state . impressions
and crown fitting are allow if the
assistant is trained , in fixed
reatorations many times occurs what we
call open margins it could be by procedure
error impression error or laboratory
error, if this occur the dentist has to do
all the process again because an open
margin in a restoration cause cavities. I
think your dentist is doing ok, and if the
temporary crown is sealed you could have
it for 2-3 months
