HI,iam having to getting 1 of my lava crows replace becase my new dentist said that there is a gapon/in it and my other dentist should of never put it on iam that one is being replaced at no more cost... also have to get a retreated root canal thats also a lava wich means they are going to dril threw the crown ( i don't like the thought of that ) on #30 it's and i was also told that they are putting a wacth on #8,9,10 because of DECAY all my crowns are LAVA i have spent a LOT of money on these crowns so my question is can you get rid of decay from a crown thats coved and why are we just wacthing it ? i don't understand what that means !!!! this suck the crowns are only about 3 years old why can't they redue the crown it's i mean it's going to be a retreated root canal ?
to i went back to my old dentist who did the the lava crowns he said he would make a deal with me because most of my lava crowns have decacy that i just have to pay the lab fee which they will tell me on monday the total cost ... wel any ways he wants to do the root canal that the other dentist said i need a endo for and he wants to do the extraction for tooth #30 the one that was going to be a retreated root canal... and basicly i need to get a brige or inplant i don't know really what is better???? should i let my old dentist do the work even tho i feel odd ???i mean he know s i wanted to go somewhere eles he know that i kinda don't trust him so not i kinda feel bad that he know that and in the end i have to back to him anyways or i will not be covered on my lava crowns !!!

Hi,
Here is my issue with your situation. First of all, I would not tell someone that their dentist should or should not have done some procedure, because I do not know the full situation and what has happened. My question is, why are you not going to the dentist who did the work and have them evaluate it too. I do not understand why you have LAVA on all of your teeth either. These openings may actually even be due to a bite problem. This is something that can not be evaluated by just plainly looking at you or looking in your mouth for a few seconds. Now, if there is a bite problem that needs to be evaluated and corrected, you should do that first before replacing any of the restorations or crowns. Why do you have decay or openings and why is there a need to redo root canals? Your diet, the PH of your mouth, decay susceptibility, bite, Oral hygiene, the way you clean your teeth, etc, all of these need to be thoroughly evaluated. If you are hesitant, also sedation dentistry is available and you might want to ask your dentist about that.
If there is decay, there is decay. If you have a problem, it needs to be fixed. what are we watching? decay is not going to go on vacation or anything or is not going to stop because the economy is bad. These are the unfortunate things. So sometimes waiting and watching will create more problems, weakens the tooth more.
So, my suggestions are, first of all, go and visit your last dentist and see what he or she says. Evaluate the training of your dentist. Just graduating from dental school does not mean anything. The training and dedication that some dentists they put themselves through is the key to higher level of learning which is the key to delivering excellence to you. You can go to www.top3dentists.com and see what I mean about the training. And finally decide if they have the proper training for what you need. A dentist might be a great general dentist, and might say that they do cosmetic dentist for example, or they may tell you that they do bite evaluation, but the reality of the matter is that this dentist has no training in the bite evaluation or cosmetic dentistry.
Please keep us posted on your progress and I hope this was helpful to you.

Often, we will put watches on teeth that have something suspicious, but not actually decay. Many times the tooth can go for years on watch before anything happens to it that would need treatment.
If there is decay, it cannot be removed effectively without removing the crown.
Redoing a crown just because it needs a root canal is overtreatment, as you can still get many years out of the crown after.
If you are on insurance, they have a minimum time in which they will pay for another crown on a tooth, which is usually 5 years.
