I received dental crowns on all six of my front teeth, one imparticular was darker then the others so I had it removed and redone, now the one that they redone is so white the others look dark. The dentist said that the darkness on that tooth and rather a couple of others that were not as bad was due to the darkness of my original teeth underneath. I would like to have the tooth redone but I'm afraid my dentist will not undergo it again, I am extremely distraught and need some advice. Thank you. Tracey
Answer: Single front teeth are a challenge While it CAN be done, it is not easy and usually requires great communication with the lab from the dentist and great photography. One of the hardest things to do is a single front tooth?

Answer: Redoing crowns It is very difficult to match a single front tooth as others have mentioned. Are you happy with the other five crowns? If you are, you can typically go to the lab for custom shade matching on that single crown. Your dentist should fix it until you're happy. When you make an appointment, make sure they schedule enough time by saying you're making the appointment to two the crown. When it comes to the delivery appointment, I'd recommend viewing the crown in different lights. You could even go home with it temporarily cemented to see if you, your family and your friends like it. If that's not an option, being them with you to the delivery appointment!

Answer: Dark crown You should voice your concern and get it redone if you don't like. After all, this is your smile and you should be happy with it. However it would be wise for you to inform your doctor at the crown try-in rather than after it is cemented. We usually do a try in with a variety of cement shade to make sure everything matches prior to cement. At the end, your dentist would want you to be completely happy with your smile.

Answer: Dark crown is now too light Yes you can have the crown removed again but it will be challenging to match a single tooth. The dentist should have taken into account the fact that the base color of some of the teeth were different. Before permanently cementing this next crown spend time evaluating the restoration. Look at it in different lighting conditions. Possibly walk outside into the sunlight. If you aren't happy the dentist can work on the color, if it's permanently cemented there is no way to fix the tooth.
