    few weeks back i snapped a front tooth right at the base, the dentist drilled in to the tooth that went below the gum line and got a fake tooth with a metal pin in it and stuck it in, now 3 times in 4 weeks its worked loose and fallen out, so wether the hole she drilled is to big for the pin and fixing cement, or the remains of the tooth are shot and wont hold it, I dont want a denture whats next

    Doom, doom! As the owner of the worst teeth in the world I have considerable experiemce of crowns and have to say if installed properly a crown should last a lot longer than that. However if the root is damaged you could be in for trouble. Once the root is past help your only alternative is to go implant which is by no means as foolproof as is claimed and costs as much as another bodypart or falsies. Hopefully it will just be a matter of your dentist finding the right cement to keep it in place!

    Try ’32 Whites’ in Marple.
    They are stupidly expensive, however Peter (do Not under any circumstances use John his brother) is very good at fixing things.

    My front dental implant went very wrong and still isn’t right today, so I’m out of pocket by £2,600 and teeth look bloody awful. Wasn’t fitted by them ^^ though, t’was a really bad dentist from Northenden.

    he’s camped out about 3 threads down complaining that his dentist made him stop eating a twix whilst his teeth were examined.
