Can a 4 year old silver crowns be changed to white crowns?

Certainly you can change the silver crowns to all porcelain crowns. Keep in mind there are many types of porcelain crowns available, for best results see an expert dentist to help you which is best for you to look good and function well.

Hi, thanks for sending your questions. Sounds like you have silver, which are metal crowns. More esthetic and viable options are all ceramic porcelain crowns which will not only look but feel more natural in your mouth. All the best.

You can definitely replace your silver crown with a porcelain tooth-colored crown. This will provide a more natural looking result that blends in seamlessly with your smile. However, if your current silver crown is still functioning properly, you should weigh your desire for beautiful aesthetics against the cost of replacing a perfectly good crown before deciding whether to move forward with the procedure.

The crowns can be changed to zirconia crowns which are tooth colored. But do you really want to put a 4 year old child through that if it isn't necessary? Unless the crowns have decay or other issues, I probably wouldn't mess with it. 

Hi:Thanks for the question.  You can definitley change your silver crown to a white porcelain crown.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Your dentist will need to cut off your old sliver crown and for you for a new white crown. Absolutely OK to do. We dentists do that all the time with success.
