Got my implant crown today & it now looks grey, how much does it normally cost to go back in & get a different shade? (Photo)

Asked By:jessegli96 in Eugene, OR

Originally I was quite worried about my crown not being the right size compared to my very small teeth so when I looked at my crown while it was being placed with temporary cement I was focusing more on that. I have now noticed a grey-white tint to the crown compared to my teeth which a yellow-white tint. How much is it to go back in and get a different shade to make it match my shade better? The color I originally choose matched my teeth very well so I'm not sure why it's grayish now.

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain. The pain could simply be a result of your crown being loose and no longer fitting properly or it could be due to the nerve of the tooth becoming inflamed or infected. I would recommend seeing your dentist as soon as possible to have the toot...

How many times can a Dental Crown be replaced?
Sarah Thompson, DMD says:

Each time the tooth is worked on, some tooth structure is removed. As long as there is enough tooth structure to attach a crown, the crown can be remade as many times as necessary. It's important to keep in mind that at some point, nerve damage may result and a root canal would be necessary. G...
