My general dentist has recommended that I get 2 crowns:
So for dental care, does a prosthodontist prep the tooth for the crown and install the crown, or just makes crowns?
So now that I'm looking at getting a few crowns made, maybe I should have a prosthodontist perform the work for the price my general dentist is quoting.
Years ago, I had 3 root canals performed by a (different) general dentist but then had to have ALL 3 ROOT CANALS *REDONE* by an Endodontist
. Due to that experience I prefer a specialist over a general.
Earlier this year, tooth #14 was extracted by a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon which ended up costing me LESS than what my general dentist quoted me for the work!
I love, love, love the work of his dental hygienist so that's why I keep going back to his office but this dentist is toooooo pricey for other work!
- replacing existing old crown, and
- create new crown for tooth w/large fillings
