To prevent decay affecting the gold dental crown, it is important to keep this area just as clean as you would your natural teeth. Brush as usual two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.

The maintenance of your porcelain laminate veneers is relatively simple. Here are some recommendations:

  1. Brush and floss as you normally would to prevent dental problems. Porcelain veneers are one of the kindest restorations to gum tissues that we currently have in dentistry. Don't be afraid of damaging your laminates by either flossing or brushing. Any non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste is acceptable. A good home care regimen will insure the esthetic success of your laminate restorations for years to come.
  2. If you are known to be a bruxer or clencher, i.e. you have a habit of grinding your teeth, please let your dentist know. He or she will fabricate a protective "occlusal" or bite guard for you to wear to minimize the stresses placed upon your teeth while you sleep.
  3. Approximately one week after the placement of your laminates you will be asked to return to the office for a treatment evaluation. This visit is extremely important. It gives your dentist the opportunity to evaluate the placement of the laminates, the gum tissue response and to answer any questions you might have regarding your new smile. Regular maintenance and dental check ups are recommended so that your veneers and oral health can be reviewed periodically.

You can't. In order to make the crown whiter, the dentist would have to take it off and send it back to the lab, where the porcelain would have to be stripped off and new, lighter porcelain applied. The problem with that is, in order to get a crown off once it's been cemented, the dentist usually has to cut through it, destroying it. If you need a whiter crown, you have to get a new one.

Crowns should be cared for just like your natural teeth. A toothbrush and toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash should keep them beautiful for years to come.

Do porcelain crowns stain?

yes, eventually 'All porcelain' crowns do not generally stain or fade. 'Porcelain fused to metal' crowns might show a dark line near the gum after time. In rare cases the porcelain can pick up staining from poor oral hygiene or from heavy use of red wine tobacco cola etc. but is easily polished off with the correct dental tools. Porcelain does not stain as it is not porous like natural teeth.

Amalgam is a restorative FILLING material. Crowns are typically porcelain fused to hi-noble metals...like palladium, gold, platinum, silver, and tin. There is also a "full gold" crown...which is exactly how it sounds. And then all porcelain crowns...which are essentially "colored glass".


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?

All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide the best natural color match than any other crown type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies. However, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and they wear down opposing teeth a little more than metal or resin crowns. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth.

What is the element used in dental crowns?

Dental crowns are made of porcelain or metal and can be used to cover the entire tooth or only a portion of it. Porcelain crowns are made of white or light-colored porcelain, while metal crowns are usually made of silver or gold. Dental crowns are used to cover a tooth when it has been broken, to replace a missing tooth, or to restore a tooth that has been badly damaged. Dental crowns are typically made in a dental lab, but can also be made by a dentist in a dental clinic.
