- Suffer from receding gums due to:
- aggressive brushing,
- teeth grinding,
- periodontal disease,
- or shifting teeth,
- and you had:
- a traumatic injury,
- or a root canal,
- or you suffer from a decaying tooth,
- then the natural structure of your tooth will show as a black line along the gum line.
How can you get rid of a black line around your dental crown?
The short answer is to replace the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown with an all-porcelain crown.
The time of using porcelain fused to metal crowns is over. All-porcelain crowns are the standard today, and the materials look like your natural teeth. These mainstream crowns reflect and transmit light like your natural teeth.
The good news?
You will no longer worry about metal causing aesthetic issues while not sacrificing the crown’s strength. The improved aesthetics of an all-porcelain crown is not to the detriment of its robustness.
