  • 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.

    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.

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 6 месяцев назад

      ​@@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.

    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.

    This guy seems honest. Maybe I'm just unlucky because I had a dentist that was "crown happy". It got so bad when he wanted to do another one that I went to another dentist. He said a crown wasn't necessary. I sure wish I saw this video first. Thank you for posting it. I'm now a subscriber.

    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. 🙏

      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. Dentistry is the most profitable of all of the medical professions. Their profits are UNBELIEVABLE. They are extremely greedy. It's morally reprehensible the amount of profit they make.

    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.

    Thank you so much for doing this video. I recently had a composite with an existing tooth fragment which was an angular frontal Chip 0 to 2 mm front left to center that failed. 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.

      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.

    Thanks for a great video. My 15 yr old broke one of his front teeth about 5 yrs ago. It was quite a large diagonal break. He had it repaired but it has since broken off twice. I think the nerve was removed at some time. The last repair, the dentist suggested a crown in the future. He also has a front gap and is awaiting assessment for a brace. His teeth are very healthy. I don't think he needs it but on the last repair the dentist has made the gap look even wider. I'm not sure whether a crown or veneer. As a child he gets free dental treatment but I'm willing to go private for a better option if necessary. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
