answers 0:i just got one a 2 hours ago and i'm TOTALLY freaked out! i wish someone woulda told me what the procedure for this thing was. While i was in the chair, at one point my friggin tooth was COMPLETELY GONE except for a little stub. WHAT THE HELL, did they break my tooth or something?! now i have this fake tooth which they put over the stub; the fake tooth is bigger than my other tooth and not the correct color! they say it's a temporary and i have to come back in 3 weeks for a permanent one. I HOPE it doesnt look as hideous as this fake one! this has been THE MOST traumatic experience of my LIFE! i'm still lost, confused, and scared to death! can someone give me some guidance or shine a light in my dark tunnel?!...Show moreanswers 1:It depends on what sort of material your crown will be made of ultimately. A porcelain crown looks very natural. My son had to have! a crown...I was shocked he had 4 cavities while I've never had one. I thought everything was fine and then one day his tooth cracked in half. It will be fine. Even if you have a metallic crown, you'll start noticing how many people have them now and you didn't even notice before. I take xrays, nearly everyone has some mouth hardware.answers 2:$one thousand is approximately top. some dentists shrink costs, yet use extra inexpensive labs- like ones in China/Mexico that use lead or nickel in them. some fee extra and use extra high priced ones. some could do a build-up, if the the teeth is broken down or has an excellent form of degradation. it truly is approximately $2 hundred.answers 3:stop worryingirl lol!! i have a crown on my front tooth (my sister pushed me off a chair wen i was 9 and split my tooth in half! ) so i hav one since then and u wudnt even no its der,dey will hav it th same colour as ur own set of teeth and the exact shape and size,also dey'll prob have u ! back n evry 5-7months to have it checked/changed.try not 2 wor! ry 2 much bout it hun cos its a breeze,trust me!answers 4:This is exactly why I will never go to the dentist.I've kept all my teeth INCLUDING my wisdom teeth.21 years old and proud of it.
