Question to dentists

[Kennethk]

How many patients do you generally see with mouths that have full crown sets? I normally only ever hear of people getting one or two when All on x implants aren't considered. I'm asking about normal full crown to bone mouths not veneers either.

I don't see that often, since crowns can be expensive and not all patients have the financial means in order to afford them. I see more patients where the incisors are all crowned. Top and bottom. What people can see matters more I guess.

Full-mouth crowns are rare - most patients only ever need one or two. A full set usually happens in special cases like severe grinding, erosion, major trauma, or full-mouth rehab. It’s far less common than implants or partial solutions since it’s invasive, costly, and removes a lot of natural tooth structure.

Can't blame people that can only do what they can afford. Imo a tooth replacement should be no more than $500 without insurance. Insurance only gives so much per year and it's generally low income to middle class that worry the most about oral care.
