Lost a tooth crown!
 
Can anyone recommend a dentist that they have good experience in replacing crowns? Thanks

Do you still have the crown or did you really lose it? I have a few crowns and my dentist told me if one came out to use some denture cream to hold it in place until I could get in to see him. I thought super glue would be better but he said not to do that!

My dentist is in Illinois so I can't help you find one in TV.....sorry.

Go to Dr. Castro in Baylee Plaza. He's terrific and he'll make the crown for you right in front of you. I had a crown replaced and then entire visit was 1 hr and I walked out with a new crown. And it was only $750.00. He's wonderful.

Wow, in one hour.
What type of material was used?
Is it metal covered in porcelain?

I hope that this experience will not end with that crown biting you in the butt.

Happy New Year.

I will now go research above and see who fixed my crown this time last year in TV.
I loved the dentist and the oral surgeon.

Just added....The dentist was Dr. Donald Burbank near the golf cart bridge on 441/27 and the oral surgeon was Dr. Alex Ghazal who did the root canal with NO pain and quickly and was quite young and handsome....if ya gotta have it done, don'tchaknow.............

Yes
 
Amen to that Gracie. That is why it was not painful! LOL

It's all porcelain. He has a machine that designed the crown on the computer and then he does his adjustments, then you go into another room and watch the machine make the crown. It picks up the porcelain cube and lasers actually make the crown. The entire crown making took 4 mins. I was enthralled. And I didn't think $750 was bad. Cheaper than Mulberry Dental and that takes 3 visits.

A close friend of mine many years ago used super glue, and your dentist was right, as my friend got a severe infection in his mouth.

Perhaps, but why do you suspect they can command higher fees? They have no shortage of patients.

Dr. Adam Still
Laurel Manor Dental
Laurel Manor Plaza
352 430 1710
State of the art equipment,
painless, I have insurance so not sure how
expensive he is. But he's a wonderful
doctor...

Floridagal 12-28-2010 05:57 PM
Dr. Barnett is very good. Near Laurel Manor.

My wife, a dental hygienist for 35 years, said she worked in an office that had the crown making machine but the dentist wasn't very good with it. She recommends getting xrays to make sure the "margins" are not too large which will lead to issues.

and $750 is a good price.

Dr Ghazal - awesome..... oh - and yes - a good dentist too! and painless too! lol

Dr Farrell did my crown at Village Dental - yes - very expensive but cant help but wonder if i would've gotten great care from someone else too!
