I went to Dr Lough for a crown, because my dentist was no longer practicing. The work seemed fine so I went to him when I had an older filling that fell out. Dr Lough replaced the filling for me. I was in pain every time I ate after he fixed it, so I went back. Dr Lough redid my filling a second time. He said if I continued to be in pain, that I needed to get a crown instead of s filling.
I was still in pain every time I ate after the second filling he did. Since I had the original filling without any issues for well over 10 years, I went for a second opinion. The second dentist found a huge hole that was not filled, and was shocked that an experienced dentist left my tooth like that. Food was getting trapped in the unfilled hole and causing me pain.
The crown that seemed like it was fine didn't last a year. It fell out. My new dentist he said that a substandard adhesive was used. He also advised that the post left was unusually small. So my new dentist cleaned it off and used a better adhesive to try to make my crown last a little longer before I have to look at options at what can be done with my tooth. Since my post is so small, it is unlikely that replacing the crown will be an option.
