Severely Worn Teeth09/15/2009 |
Hello.I have severe worn teeth.On the Glidewell Laboratories website I`ve seen a dental product called transition crowns and bridges.Would this be a good option?Do they prepare your teeth then cement these over your teeth?thank you
The "transition crowns" advertised are plastic crowns that can be done supposedly less expensively than porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. Yes, the teeth are prepared and the plastic crowns are cemented. The problem is that even the best plastic crowns will likely not last more than a year. So the "transition" is to get moderately priced crowns initially and then still need full price crowns in the not-too-distant future. This scenario would make the total cost of treatment much higher than just doing the definitive crowns initially.
