Hello!
Eight months ago my son had a porcelain crown made on an upper central incisor (on a post). After a few months I noticed that the crown had become grey. I would like to know how it is possible that this artificial tooth changed colour, and whether there is any solution so that the difference in tooth colour will not be so noticeable.
Thank you and kind regards,
Darja
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Based on what you have written, I think you may have misunderstood the dentist and that your son did not receive a crown, but that the tooth was only built up with composite material. In that case, the crown or material can darken because the tooth core also darkens. A porcelain crown generally does not change colour.
Have a nice day!
