I had my zirconia crown fitted for the upper four incisor teeth 3 weeks ago in Turkey. One of the tooth chipped and the other one is broken within a week. The dentist sent me another set of crowns along with my mould from Turkey, to get it fitted in UK. The dentist in UK told me that these crowns cannot be used as all the fitted four crowns and the new crowns to be fitted are bridged (made as a single unit). In UK, they fit zircon crowns for individual tooth. Please advice. Thank you

If the tooth turns black under your temporary crown, it is because of micro leakage, and the fit of the temporary crown is not perfect. Most often if you used peridex or chlorohexidine, also or stained foods and drinks, that also contributes to color of black under temporary crown.
There are several reasons an all Ceramic crown would discolor if it is relatively new.
- Blood present at the time of bonding
- Incomplete bond and stain has invaded the area
- Clenching and grinding has broken the seal and stain has set in
- Decay or soft enamel was never...
However, most practices understand good business principles and have stated or implied warranties There is no law regulating what a practice does when a crown fails in less than a year, but if it broke due to the patient behaving poorly, do not expect a free replacement....
