What would be the cost of crown replacement?

Q.
Hi Dr. Moore. I have had a gold crown on one of my front tooth for 16 years. It was recommended by my dentist to cover a small black mark that was forming on the side of it.

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.

Can u give me some information about porcelain composite crowns?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have a composite crown bonded to a metal post that was fitted 20 years ago when I broke my upper front incisor that I would like to replace for cosmetic reasons. Due to my gums receeding a few mm you can now see a line of grey natural tooth around the gum line. I have asked my dentist about the most natural looking replacement and she is very keen to fit another metal/porceline composite crown. I have never been happy with the one I have, it has always been a different size, shape and colour to my other main incisor so I asked about an all porceline crown and she said that her practice fits procera crowns but that because I have a metal post and not a ground down tooth to use as an anchor that an all porceline crown would be too thick and would break. I made it clear that cost was not a consideration but she insisted that a composite crown was my best bet. Apart from the crown my teeth are completely average, they are average size, shape, colour etc. Your opinion would be valued. Thanks
