Can Emax crowns be used in a case of dark anterior roots? Would a masking cement be sufficient to cover the darkness? (Photo)

Asked By:trudyj915 in Boon, Michigan

I just had a try in with Zirconia crowns for my front teeth and was very disappointed with the result. I was told I had to go with Zirconia crowns because the roots were too dark. I do not like the result. Can the roots be covered or bleached so that crowns with better translucency can be used?
