Discoloured crown


Q: My
Crown in the front doesn't match my teeth and looks rather fake. What can be done?

A: You can do alot with our new dental technology. We, at the Medical Center Dental Group, use a great dental lab who specializes in anterior(front)
Crowns. Alot of anterior crown these days are all porcelain. Depending on how long you have had your crown,we may have to remove a little of your gum in order to make it the same length as the adjacent tooth. We then take an impression of your tooth after removing your old crown. Of course, this all done after giving you a local injection. (anaesthesia). You will leave our office will a temporary crown. In order to match the shade of your crown to your other teeth, we have our lab come to our office to take a custom shade. Then, in 3 weeks, you will have your new ceramic crown. Please contact us at 888.790.0309 if you should need any additional information or to set up an appointment.
