I am concerned that my crowns may darken over time if a good cement is not used. I read an article stating a couple of cements that were not good enough over a long period of time (which I did not make a note of at the time). I think one began with a letter V and the other began with F. I want to make sure that my dentist uses a good cement that will not give me a discoloration problem in years to come. Which is the best in your opinion? Thank you in advance.
