Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Hello,
today two porcelain crowns were cemented onto two posts.
When I got home, the colour still matched my other teeth.
Now, a few hours later, I looked in the mirror again and one crown is fine, but the other has turned white and stands out noticeably from the other teeth. I would like to know what I should do and, of course, how this is even possible??
Thank you for your reply.

Dear Sir/Madam!
In principle, the materials used to make crowns do not change colour over a longer period of time (years). In the case you describe, the change is most likely due to different incident light. The colour of materials is namely influenced by the incident light (lamps, daylight, neon light...). In any case, discuss this with your dentist.
Have a nice day!
