My crowned teeth have started to change to a bad yellow colour. Can you advise me on the best option to fix this?

Q. Hi Doctor. Last Nov 2010 my front upper 4 tooths has been crowned with resin/plastic. As i noticed initial 6 months there is no color change but for last three month its started changing its color to off-white & now turning to bad yellowish. Its looks so horrible. 1. Now advise me, is there any procedure to clean & back to normal color or i have to again go for a new crown. 2. Also Plz suggest the name of best crown & which will not change its color & run long life. I would appreciate if u answer in detail. Thanks,
A. Hi The resin plastic is always a cheap option and is generally used as a temporary crown, as well as prone to leakage and colour uptake from your diet. Any decent crown such a metal reinforced porcelain crown or a metal free durable crown will be more durable and resistant to colour uptake

Thanks for your reply Dr… My dentist in India didn’t told me that it is temporary, he has given me a 5 years warranty. As im working in abroad & can not go for a checkup before a year. As i spoke to my dentist he told me a simple polish on crowns will make them as new as they were. After read a several case in your blog I don’t think so it will work.
Is this kind of polish will effective??
& How much a Metal reinforced porcelain crown cost me??
Is Metal reinforced porcelain crown & Ceramic crown are same??

I have a Dental implant and the crown was stained the wrong colour but was glued in anyway. Is there anything that could be done to fix this?Can the crown be taken out and fixed or replaced?

I require a crown on a tooth that has had root canal treatment and also required a significant filling. Before I book an appointment I would like to understand roughly how much the initial consultation and the crown will cost. I have insurance but appreciate that it is unlikely to cover the full cost. Please give me a call to discuss. many thanks,

I am interested in the 6 month smile, but i have some other dentistry workthat needs doing and i am not sure in which order i do it. I have a secondmoler missing on the bottom jaw and i i also had root canal on the second moler on the top jaw, this has not had a crown fitted yet as it just had a temp filling but now ha fallen out. So, what are my options? How much wouldtreatment likely cost?
