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: Metal showing on top of my crown? Sorry to hear that. the reason for dark spot of metal showing is due to the adjustment your dentist needed to make your bite right! The lab or the ceramist either put a thick metal so there was not enough room for porcelain in that spot, or your dentist missed to prepare your tooth on that spot to give it enough room for the lab to give you an Aesthetic crown !

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: 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: 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.
