  • Dentist says do not crown your teeth! Dr. O follows up a popular video with a clinical example of how veneers are better choices for repairing front teeth. He also shares the 4 reasons why one might need a dental crown over a dental veneer. Dr. O is a cosmetic dentist in Springfield, MO that has a passion for creating smiles through innovation.
    The 4 reasons that a front tooth may need a dental crown are:
    1 - Replacement of currently existing crown
    2 - A tooth with a root canal
    3 - Severe decay that wraps behind the tooth (very rare)
    4 - Severe tooth wear (crowns should only follow repositioning of teeth to their original position with braces or invisalign.

    I like that you're a medical professional that has morals beyond your wallet. I used to work in a pharmacy as the lead tech and kept our store number one in the district and would still constantly get into trouble for letting people know that they didn't always have to buy those outrageously expensive medications that would do more harm than good in some situations..I left because I started realizing that I had different morals than that industry. It's funny how most medical and pharmaceutical professionals will almost always take care of their own wallet first and recommend the expensive treatment that isn't always 100% necessary rather than looking out for the patients best interests in all aspects. You, sir, deserve a slow clap.

    It really depends on how your teeth are. Crowns saved me 100x more money, more headache and more pain than getting veneers. Most dentists don’t talk you into what you need, they talk you into what will take longer and what will possibly keep you coming back and spending money and it’s a shame that people do that. Took me 4 dentist before one sat down, looked at the issue and gave me a solution instead of a temporary bandaid. AND....he did all the work for free so I can enlist in the military with no issues.

      It would be irresponsible for a dentist to tell people "you know pick the option that is cheapest". Crowns are not a permanent fix, they last 10-15 years. If they cant be replaced then the only option is implant or some sort of denture. Sure a veneer might have you back in 15-20 years too, but they can usually very easily be replaced with more venners, and youre actually just replacing the failing venner material not the tooth. Worse case scenario you need a crown that will then last another 15 years. So by going veneer youre talking about something lasting worst case scenario 10 years, to something worst case scenario lasting 25, but maybe 35 years worst case. This is why they should reccomend this kind of approach to you.

    When I got married I started going to my Wife's dentist. It didn't take long before I realized he was more into selling unnessicary hi profit procedures than honest care. Constantly telling me I needed this or that, while ignoring 2 years of pain as "not flossing well enough". I got a second opinion from a DDS who found a severe abscess in my jaw. He also sold my then 79 year old father in law a mouth full of crowns that looked ridiculous. Like bright white chicklets for several thousand dollars. Lesson- do you research and find a reputable dentist and stick with him or her.

In July 2020 I broke one of my back teeth & we were in lockdown, so it took 8 months of going back & forth to my dentist getting filling etc. I got my crown fitted in March last year. Last week I was brushing my teeth & I used salty water as I had a sore mouth & had the dentist that day. My crown fell out my mouth & went down the sink. My tooth was drilled down to make way for the crown. He said just leave it or get it taken out. I'm so unhappy that it didn't even last a year. 😔😔

      Ren G. Its not for being care for $$ its for doing a treatment that it’s proven that will last and work. Unfortunately the more cracked or decayed a tooth is the more difficult it’s to predict how it will respond the tooth nerve. The thing is you can do a treatment like this with a 40% of success ratio or make root canal treatment in the needed teeth and then go for crown and expect a 99% success ratio. At the end you could end paying 2 times. The patient is the one that takes the risk, not the dentist. That’s the reason that the majority of dentists go for something that it’s proven that will work. But hey if you want to ending paying 2 times... we’ll it’s your choice. Maybe works, maybe not.

      @chrislastnam6822 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@kriswhite91What dentist conned you into thinking crowns are 99% successful? The less tooth structure you remove the longer your teeth will last . Drilling for crowns damages nerves often leading to nerve death, abscess and root canals. Crowned teeth usually get decayed underneath because you can't clean them and they can't be remineralized by saliva. If you get an onlay, ,filling or veneer, you're far less likely to have your tooth die which then requires root canals which get dangerous infections. The basic principle is that it's best to preserve as much tooth structure as possible. Dentists make far more money from crowns than fillings or onlays. They also make more money from crowns because crowning leads to needing future expensive work.

  • @sierratorres4695

    I've had all three suggestions for my "chipped"/fractured front tooth. I did composite from the time I fractured my front tooth until I was 18-19 years old. I'd have to get it redone at least 3-4 times a year. Finally I got a veneer done and from then until I was 23 it would pop off at least once a year. My old dentist retired the year after I got the veneer done and the last time it popped off my new dentist and I agreed that enough was enough and I went ahead with doing a crown. Not only does the crown look and feel at a whole lot better, but it also feels so much more stronger than when I had the veneer. I think it's very dependent case by case on whether or not a veneer or crown would be best. In my case, the crown was the better option.

    Thanks so much for this video. It's so refreshing to hear your perspective. I came up during an awful time in dentistry in New York City I think, where dentists usually took the worst case scenario approach. I'm paying for it now in big bucks to correct my teeth and structure. I have so much tooth and gun damage, and shifting, from excessive fillings, extractions, root canals, etc. over the years. Soon we will be addressing a tiny chip I've been carrying in my front chopper tooth (this tooth is the sister of my favorite 2 front teeth). I refused any dentist who tried to touch it. It's barely visible, however, I know I have to get to it. Now I'm working with a dentist I trust and when we get to that tooth I'll be sure to bring this up. Great info here.

      No you don't! Crowns cost upwards of $2,500.00 apiece in the U.S. and dental insurance only covers cleanings. That's why many Americans go to Mexico for their dental work.

    Oh wow, that looks nice. I used to be really scared of the dentist, didn't go for a long time and had a lot of decay (not so much cavities, but worn down teeth). Then with a lot of courage I went back to the dentist and got over my fear. He made me veneers to. I was so proud, within a week I lost both front teeth veneers in a week, they where replaced, took for a week of three. Every few weeks I would lose a veneer untill the point my dentist gave up and just stopped replacing them. Now I have worse teeth then before I went to the dentist. Wish I would live near your practice. I would definitely make an appointment.

The original composite lasted thirty years without decay, root failure or discoloration. Every single dentist I have visited wanted to cap my front tooth. (Central Florida) finally found a reputable composite dentist ,and voilà they were able to transform a very healthy tooth back to a condition that was indeed “cosmetic” ,but returned all the benefits of not grinding down a normal tooth without side effects. Yes, I won’t be ripping any potato chip bags open with this tooth. But I am left with a healthy frontal tooth structure that in the future I can change if needed instead of something that is irreversible.

It was still strong and no problem at all when it was extracted and I never regret it. I was a nut eater and I don’t think that veneer would last that long if I keep on eating nuts. It was a zirconium crown and I really picked the strongest one because I’m scared to loose my tooth again. I will never pick veneer because I don’t think that it’s strong enough. Just sharing because there are also horror stories behind veneers.

When I was 5 we got into an accident and she lost a few teeth when they hit the steering wheel. She was only 40 years old and the genius she went to suggested pulling all her teeth pretty much said it was her only option. My mother had all her teeth pulled not knowing any better and has had dentures ever since. I am now 31 years of age and am suffering from her bad genetics and am broke being that I live in New York my whole life and come from nothing and have had some unfortunate events in my life that have always prevented me from having the extra money to fix my teeth. I wish there was something I could do to fix my smile b4 I end up like my mom. I'm only 31 and have held back from so many things in life, like getting married because I'm hoping to have my teeth fixed first, but like I said I just simply don't have the money.

    • @aznboy131
      @aznboy131 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Nobody can give you good advice without seeing your entire case in person. That said, it would really suck to drill down 3 healthy teeth just to serve as abutments for the bridge. If you've got the money, you should try to do it the right way. Get limited braces just to upright the roots to make room for the implant. They can even put a fake tooth in that spot in the mean time, bonded to a bracket.

  • @NewGuyForYou
    @NewGuyForYou 5 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I agree with this, after I learned a very expensive lesson! In 2002, I had my 10 front teeth crowned. Otherwise healthy teeth, but severe tetracycline staining (dull grey, lifeless looking teeth). I initially wanted veneers, my dentist told me it's too hard to cover that dark of staining without porcelain crowns. I ended up choosing the Captek, a gold crown with porcelain bonded to the front. In just 3 short years, my Canine #11 just broke off at the gumline like a piece of wet chalk. A root canal was attempted, and it was so decayed that the only solution was am implant. Since I was already paying for a total of 14 crowns...on an installment loan, I had to decline. A flipper was the temporary solution. Then, every single year until 2015, one by one, even after 6 month check ups and x-rays, they kept breaking off, they had all become brittle and decayed "under" the crown. So, new partial denture in 2007, another new partial in 2008 due to more missing teeth, and the cycle went on until I eventually lost every single crown ever put on. And the real tooth underneath was lost as well, including two that had root canals and were murder to get all the root fragments out.
    My partial dentures still look 100% better than my real teeth did back then with all the tetracycline, but I surely went the long and expensive way around. Implants financially were out of the question. Bridges? I have way too many missing teeth now for that. Maybe someday, an all-on-four type implant denture.
    In talking about my problem, I found out that about 6 people that I know well...also ended up losing their teeth completely after aggressive crowning that was initially sought out as a cosmetic fix for unsightly teeth. I never had any dental insurance at all, so this was all out of pocket, my MasterCard was my dental insurance. Great videos here!

      Mann these so called dentists r fd up. All they care about is getting paid as much as possible & getting u out of their office as quick as possible. I been in pain and supposed to have gotten an extraction for over a year now and My insurance keeps referring me to places that either claim they recently stopped doing extractions for ppl over 21 years old or they tryna over charge me WHEN my insurance says they cover it. I been getting this feeling like all these places r tryna get money out of the customers pocket of the insurance is not paying the price that they demanding & I got a feeling they r trying to overcharge the insurance companies. 1 dentist tried to charge me 185 for an extraction and at the same time told me they were not taking my insurance anymore because they were being audited by my insurance company. Trust was a red flag and made me not trust them especially since my insurance said they were not supposed to charge me out of pocket. I be asking myself: why does a person go thru what all the things they have to go thru to become a dentist, teacher, firefighter, etc.., if they don’t even have a passion for that career. If all u wanted to do was have a get rich quick scheme u should choose a field that doesn’t jeopardize ppls livelihoods & well-being

      The lesson is to not rush into things. Read some books by dentists and watch some videos before making a decision.

    This is definitely making me rethink things. My dentist wants to do crowns on my four front teeth and the two canines. The reason for the front is because I’ve had the fillings redone a number of times and he says there is not much tooth to work with and the existing fillings are leaking. There is absolutely no reason to crown the canine teeth. The dentist prior to him suggested a bridge on the front. I’ve been in and out of dentist chairs since the age of 17 when I saved money and took myself to the dentist. I’d like to keep as many of my teeth as possible. I’m concerned.

    Do you have videos on what veneers vs crown looks like and what it takes in surgery?

    Dr. O. I enjoyed watching this video and your expertise. I slightly chipped my left front tooth. It is crooked and slightly overlaps my front right tooth. Braces from 9 yrs old to 18 and still crooked; 56yrs old now. Due to grinding my teeth and tmj, I caught my bottom teeth on that front left and now has a horizontal crack line below the nerve. The nerve is alive and well. Just got back from the endodontist, nice guy, recommending a pro active root canal and then back to my dentist to do a crown. Your thoughts? I appreciate your advice and expertise. Much gratitude. 🙏

    This sounds like a video for Dentists! In my experience, if I go into a Dentist and tell them I don’t want a crown they will tell me what they are going to do or I can go to another Dentist. I understand what you are explaining, but being the patient we don’t tell them what we want.

    I wish every dentist will be honest like this guy. I am sure I have been overcharged many times. Where is his practice located?

    Awww man I wished I had heard this video before I had my crown process started. I really did not want the crown. I have a temp crown and have not gone back to get the permanent crown because I really don't want it😢😢.
    Nice video!
