Hi I have had 8 Emax crowns fitted in September and I am thinking of changing them. They are currently a bl3 shade and I am looking to go whiter as they do not seem white to me. I have emailed the dental centre in turkey and they are telling me I can have them changed and that it is easy to do this procedure however I am worried I may end up having a root canal as they have to cut the crowns out and it could effect the nerve in my teeth. Would you recommend changing the crowns?

Hi:There is a possibility of being able to remove the post.  It might be best to go to a root canal specialist to get the post taken out.  If successful then make another post and a new crown.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Many factors go in to creating a crown.  It is necessary to have a very skilled ceramist to ensure a natural and precise result.  Don't have the crown permanently placed until you are happy.

I don't see a reason to wait.  Perhaps see an endodontist to evaluate the nerve.  If it needs to be done go ahead and do it.  If not, have the crown completed.  Good luck.
