i had a porcelain crown on a lower molar that lasted about 8 months. Then in broke and was cemented back in. i decided to stick with the patch up job down by his colleague as an emergency treatment, as it was working well. But this then failed again after 3 months. The dentist then decide to make the crown even larger, covering the whole tooth, as he felt it would be stronger. He guaranteed his work for 5 years . it's lasted 2 weeks. It fell out today whilst eating a boost bar. i was starving and it was the first time that i've bitten something chewy since it was done.
I'm just so fed up. In 2 years i must have had 6-8 trips to the dentist over this same issue. Twice the proper crown has fallen out and then the temporary has failed at least once whilst waiting for the porcelain. Twice its coincided with travel abroad.
dentist suggested gold but agreed that its not a great look for a large crown.
if there are any dentists out there, AIBU to think my dentist doing something wrong? he has a great reputation locally but i'm starting to think he should be offering a different treatment e.g. implant of some kind.
any thoughts?
