The problem is that my crowns are fairly new. I got them in 2015. I went to a cosmetic dentist who showed me lots of pictures and really seemed to know what he was doing. The problems started when I tried in the temporary crowns and they looked too big. Maybe too thick is the correct word. They clearly sit too far forward from my natural teeth. My natural teeth aren\u2019t that thick at all. The dentist bonded on the crowns without me knowing that it was permanent. This makes the crowns almost look like buck teeth. They uncomfortably touch the back of my lips and my profile in pictures is different than it used to be. My lips poke out slightly. People who didn\u2019t know me before I got the crowns probably can\u2019t tell unless they really look at my smile. My friends who knew my smile before notice that something is different. I don\u2019t get into the subject of getting new crowns and they ended up thicker than the dentist and I agreed on. It goes without saying that this dentist isn\u2019t going to replace my crowns. I don\u2019t trust him. I want to replace the crowns. My dental insurance isn\u2019t going to provide benefits for them because they crowns are barely 2 yrs old. So that brings be to the question of how can I find an affordable dentist to replace the crowns on my front teeth? Thanks for your help. Camila<\/p>\n<p>Camila \u2013 We sympathize with your disappointment in your crowns. It\u2019s clear that the dentist you visited was a cosmetic dentist in name only. We also understand your desire to find an <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/affordable-dentist.html\" target=\"_blank\">affordable dentist<\/a> to restore your smile since you won\u2019t receive insurance benefits. Still, insist on an experienced cosmetic dentist to replace your crowns. There are several reasons why.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Care must be taken to remove the existing crowns.<\/strong> If your crowns were bonded to your natural teeth, they must be carefully removed. A cosmetic dentist will use diamond burs to carefully grind the crowns away from your natural teeth without damaging your teeth. Aggressive removal can cause serious damage your natural teeth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Precision is required to match your natural teeth.<\/strong> The dentist who originally placed your crowns either isn\u2019t interested in precision or doesn\u2019t know how to achieve it. A trained cosmetic dentist is an artist who is usually more concerned about symmetry and aesthetics than his or her patients. Your <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/ceramic-crowns-plano.html\" target=\"_blank\">crowns<\/a> can perfectly match your natural teeth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A great cosmetic dentist is also a great communicator.<\/strong> You have the right to be told when a restoration is bonded to your teeth. Your new dentist will ensure that the crowns are exactly what you want before they are bonded. You should insist on approving the look and feel of your smile before crowns are bonded to your teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Find an Affordable Dentist<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Make quality\u2014not cost\u2014your priority. Find several experienced cosmetic dentists in your area. Ask friends or family members for recommendations.<\/li>\n<li>Check each dentist\u2019s website for his or her training and credentials.\u00a0 A dentist should be serious about continuing education to stay current with the latest tools and techniques that will give you a winning smile.<\/li>\n<li>On each cosmetic dentist\u2019s website, look for before-and-after photos of actual patients who have received crowns from the dentist. Otherwise, ask to see photos during a consultation.<\/li>\n<li>Schedule consultations with at least two dentists to discuss your options and the cost.<\/li>\n<li>Ask each affordable dentist how he or she can work with your budget to replace your crowns. Don\u2019t insist on a bargain. \u201cAffordable\u201d can mean that you will be able to pay for services through a payment plan or financing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are uneasy about any dentist\u2019s ability or chairside manner, move on to the next affordable dentist.
