I had a ceramic crown fixed on my front teeth (had damaged tooth bcoz of accident!) ! The new crown doesnt match the color and i feel terrible about it tho i was ok with it at the dentists office but after coming back home i felt i wasted money as it looked darker compared to other teeth! My question is if i want to get it changed to a new crown, what should i be going for? I heard about zirconia type! Or should i stick with existing porcelain? Any advise?

Answer: Dark tooth doesn't match. What type of crown should I do?
Sounds like the teeth were not properly prepared for a porcelain to metal crown. The exposed metal is not acceptable. It will likely wear through rather quickly which calls for a new crown. I would ask the dentist to re-make them after the teeth are properly trimmed enough for...
Hi, thanks for the question... Filling or crown depends on how much your tooth destroyed, if was a big reconstruction I recommend put the crown, but if was a normal access for root canal, keep your filling and take care. Regards
Sometimes a high spot on a crown can cause the tooth to act up. When the high spot is removed then the tooth can calm down. You may also want to see if you are clenching or grinding your teeth which could exacerbate the situation. Clenching is when you grit your teeth together....
