Porcelain crowns are highly resistant to staining due to their smooth, non-porous surface. However, they can still become discolored over time, especially if exposed to certain substances like coffee, tea, or tobacco. Additionally, the surrounding natural teeth may stain, making the crown appear less vibrant in comparison. Regular dental hygiene can help maintain their appearance.

How can i whiten my crowns?
Sorry, you can;t whiten a crown. Unfortunately some crowns are made of gold or part gold part other precious metal, which obviously can't be whitened. White crowns, or porcelain crowns are baked porcelain, which is a set color that goes down the entire depth of the crown. Your natural teeth whiten because bleaching removes stain on your teeth, the crowns can't whiten, because their color is intrinsic to the material that they are made of. In order to whiten a crown you need to replace it.

My friend suggested that I'll have my dentist get me an all-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns' What do you think' Should I proceed with that or can I just get a metal crown instead?
Your friend is correct in recommending all-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns, especially in cases where the crown will be visible in a smile. All-ceramic, and all-porcelain crowns are seen as the most natural looking crowns that can be used, especially for front teeth that are designed to mimic the color and translucency of teeth closely. They are also good choices for people with metal allergies because they contain no metals. However, they are usually less strong than metal crowns, so they are less suitable for teeth that experience the due to chewing pressure. For that reason, you should consider metal crowns for molars which are where most grinding and chewing takes place. Metal crowns may not blend into a smile aesthetically, but metal crowns tend to last longer, and require less removal of tooth structure. The decision between all-ceramic crowns, all-porcelain crowns and metal crowns will depend on individual needs such as location in mouth, aesthetics, and budget. It is always a good idea to go over both crown options thoroughly with your dentist! FMS DENTAL HOSPITAL - Kondapur Contact Us! Call (+91) 8885060770 email: contact@fmsdental dot com
