Plastic? My crowns are porcelain. The older ones are stainless steel covered in porcelain. I've never heard of a plastic crown.

Then, the filling wasn't taking so I had to go back in this past week for a better filling and it hurt like hell. I'm fine now but really pissed I have to pay for the same procedure twice when they should have done the better filling the first time.

Actually considering changing dentists for the first time since 1995 because of it.

I had a filling done a year ago and because he didn't use a wedge between my molars, I had what seemed like a freakin' canyon between them. Consequently, it was constantly getting packed with food, had some irritation in the gums. Went in a year later and my dentist replaced the filling free of charge.
