I had porcelain crowns made a little over six months ago. They were so beautiful and shiny when I first got them. Now, they are dull and turning yellow. Do you know what could have happened? I do everything I am supposed to. I brush. I floss. I don’t even drink coffee. I’d really like them to look like they looked six months ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Laurie,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want you to know this is not your fault. Porcelain crowns<\/a> should last you several years. I can think of a couple of things that happened here, but you are going to need to have another dentist look at them to determine which one it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing that comes to mind is an error on the part of the hygienist. You mentioned this happened a little after six months ago. That is long enough for you to go in for a cleaning appointment. If your hygienist used something like a power prophy jet, then it would have removed the glazing off the porcelain. This is what protects the crown from picking up stains and gives it that shiny look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing your hygienist could have used is acidulated fluoride which will also damage the glazing by etching it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second possibility is that your dentist told you that you were getting porcelain crowns, but actually gave you a different type of material that wears down and stains more quickly. It is not ethical, but there are dentists who do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting an Unbiased Second Opinion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to another dentist to get eyes on the dental crowns in order to find out the real problem. The key to getting a true, unbiased second opinion is to not tell the second opinion dentist who originally did the work. The dental world is a small world. It is very likely the two dentists know each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t want the second opinion dentist to feel conflicted about saying something negative regarding a colleague’s work. If he asks who did the work, just tell him you want his unbiased opinion so you will keep the name of the dentist to yourself. He or she should understand that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
