i want to remove my gold tooth should i choose a white pocelain crown or tooth implant
Q. I have a front gold tooth that I want to remove. It’s 13 years old and has chipped at the tip. I am a professional now and attending board meetings with “important” people, where I do not want the stigma that associates with having a gold tooth. 1) Should I choose a white/pocelain crown OR do a single tooth implant? 2) Should I whiten my OTHER teeth before replacing the gold with a white/porcelain crown? 3) Or do you suggest something else?
A. If you are unhappy with the colour of your teeth then whiten them first.
if the tooth under the crown is very dark you may want to consider a porcelain fused to metal crown but near the gum over time you tend to see a black line , if your dentist feels he can hide a dark stump of tooth with an allporcelain crown then this will not have a dark line at the gum,
consider attending the lab for a shade match
only consider an implant if the tooth needs to be removed

When I was younger I put a total of 16 golds permanetly in my mouth now im older and want to remove them. My teeth were perfectly fine before i put them. I would like to know my options & if golds can be removed.
