Would a Porcelain Crown Cause my Gums to Darken? Hi. I had a root canal on my front tooth 10 years ago and now it's quite discolored. I'm about to get a porcelain crown, but am hesitant if it would be the best approach. Should I just leave the discolored tooth alone? I'm not too confident with any of the dentists here on Dublin because it's hard to find information regarding their skills. Also, on occassion, I've seen people with black, darkened lines in between their gums and teeth. Are they cause by Crown or Veneer, may I ask? Any views?

A: Porcelain crowns are natural looking, no dark lines.

Cosmetic crowns are usually always made of ceramic porcelain, 100%. Newer boding techniques provide an absolute seal between the tooth and the crown with no leaking or dark lines. They look good and feel like your own teeth. They can last 20+ years, provided one's bite is stable. Stabilizing the bite is probably the most important reason high quality cosmetic dentistry can last so long.
