Tooth under crown
Hello, I wanted to know what the chances are for a root canaled tooth discoloring over time if I already have an all porcelain crown over it? Will it discolor over the years and show through the crown? Or is it that if it is done properly that the color will stay stable? Advice is appreciated.
If your crown Is a full ceramic lithium disilicate crown commonly known as Emax crown then it may show through the crown. You can remove the crown and get an internal bleach for the tooth and place it back again.
Crown removal does involve a risk of fracture of internal structure of the tooth or chipping of crown. So make sure there is discoloration which is troublesome enough for you to go through with the trouble.
