Dark Line Around The Crown This is a difficult procedure and a correct diagnosis and treatment plan is required. In many ways simple treatment works best as in the case of the patient below where the dark discolouration was masked and composite veneers placed. All was completed in one visit improving overall appearance of the teeth and smile. This visit required no injections and no pain. In many cases new crowns will be required. The root can discolour from loss of tooth vitality, past root-canal therapy, gum recession and presence of metal ceramic crowns. This is most obvious in patients with high smile line.
Note the dark gum discolouration due to metal crown margins and discoloured root from past root canal therapy
Treatment included;
BEFORE Patient presented with dark line around the veneer crown due to compromised marginal integrity with the tooth. The presence of marginal inflammation and discolouration is evident. The crown also does not match in colour with the natural tooth.
TREATMENT COMMENCED
AFTER New all porcelain crown constructed and cemented showing optimal gum health and aesthetic tooth emergence profile.
AFTER Patient can now smile with confidence. |
