Should I remove all of my old crowns and have them replacesd with porcelain crowns?
Q. Hello, I am 23 years old. Last year I’ve put dental crowns (porcelain fused with metal because I haven’t enough money for all porcelain crowns) to my front 6 teeth. I have no problems of pain or gray line showing, but i wanted to ask if there is a great difference between PFM crowns and all porcelain crowns? I have saved some money this year and I need an opinion if I should remove my crowns and replace them with all porcelain ones? I repeat, I have no functional problems with them, I just want my smile to look more natural. Can I send you some photos of my smile for you to evaluate better my situation. If this is possible where can I send them? (Sorry for my English, I’m from Albania),
A. If you have no problems then I would wait a few years until the margins are visible then replace. All ceramic do look better on front teeth but you have to consider the space avaialble, tendency for grinding etc. The main thing is to choos a dentist who uses a good technician to make his his crowns.
