I Don’t Like My Metal Based Crowns Which Make My Teeth Look Black. Is This A Cosmetic Issue?

Wednesday, January 8th, 2014
Q.

My top two front teeth have metal based crowns. The black ( metal) around the top of the teeth is clearly visible and I am getting fed up with people asking why my teeth are black.
I have just been to the dentist today (NHS), as one of them is quite sensitive to hot and cold and the last three days I have experienced discomfort. However, she doesn’t believe there is anything wrong with it, which is great. However, I asked if these could be replaced as the metal is unsightly. She said that as it is cosmetic I would have to pay £275 for each one. Is this true? I thought I could do this on the NHS for a cost of £210 or thereabouts for both or have I just misunderstood?

I Don’t Want A Silver Metal Crown, What Are My Other Options?

Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hi I wondered if you could please help me? I’m having great difficulty getting the right information from my dentist.  Here’s my current scenario: I am an Unemployed NHS patient needing full crown treatment on my bottom molar. I have been advised that a metal crown is best for my particular situation but I really don’t want a big dark blob showing in all my photos. Is there a very light coloured metal crown that I can use that won’t darken to any extent over time so that its not too noticeable?? and how much is this type of treatment likely to charge me? I understand it’s more of a cosmetic treatment but I don’t want a dark one, they look awful and you can really see them when smiling. Thanks for your help in advance. Kind regards
