Had a root canal and crown done several years back. Crown fell off and I needed to have a new one made. The second one looks nothing like the first one. The dentist never showed me and I left his office and when I looked in the mirror I almost cried looks like black hole!!.
Answer: Black hole on the crown Hi:You do not have an actual hole on the crown. What you are seeing is the metal under the porcelain crown. The area seems to have been adjusted to get proper bite. The tooth is protected however, you do not like the aesthetics of it you should go back to your dentist and share your concern.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Your crown Hi, thanks for sending your question. The area of the crown seen is the metal portion of the porcelain fused to metal crown which is exposed caused by adjusting your bite on the crown. Your tooth should still be sealed, however esthetically not pleasant. Options of replacement including all ceramic crowns which will not have any metal visible. All the best.

Answer: Dark spot on crown This dark spot is exposure of the underlying metal support for the crown. This usually happens when there is inadequate space for the crown and during adjustment of the bite the porcelain was removed to correct the occlusion.

Answer: Black spot on crown Your dentist placed a porcelain bonded to metal crown (PBM) on your back tooth. After cementing the crown, your bite was high so it was adjusted repeatedly. What you see on your crown is the metal showing through under the porcelain covering.One of three things happened here. 1) Your dentists didn't leave enough room between this tooth and the upper tooth to fit the crown material. This isn't likely since you already had a crown before. 2) while you wore a temporary crown, the bite on that was reduced to allow your tooth to heal after the root canal without being pounded on when you bite. The tooth super-erupted (came out of the bone) to meet the upper tooth anyway, so that when the final crown wasn't placed, it was too high, and your dentist had to shave it down to fit properly. 3) During the preparation of the tooth or the temporary phase, your jaw joint was compressed, closing the vertical space available to house the crown. We call this "losing the bite." When the final crown was placed, the dentist had to grind it down to fit.If there is "good news" here, the metal portion of this kind of crown provides the strength, so your crown is still strong enough to chew on.
