Case Description
I had a new crown installed 2 years ago and now have decay under the crown. My thoughts are that it wasn't prepared carefully or that the crown didn't correctly cover the tooth and either has caused the decay. The crown was a one sitting as it was done by a machine. Am I correct in my assumptions? The crown was beside my titanium implant which also appears a little loose. Thanks

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Our suggestion would be that you return to the dentist who did the original crown - there can be several reasons for decay under a crown and that dentist would be the best one to decide - also I would assume that if it was a failure of placement that the crown would be replaced at little or no cost to you. Good Luck!
