I have a crown on #11 that is functionally adequate, but just that. It
doesn't look like my other teeth - it sticks out, where my natural teeth
curve in - there's been a black line at the gum since the afternoon it
was installed (I was told my gum would cover it once it healed - never
happened, and it's been over 15 years) and it traps food like crazy.
The tooth underneath has had RCT and a pin. I have been told more than
once that the packing (?) of the canal could have been done better;
there is something on the xrays that the dentists who have seen it think
is not a swell job.
So. Is replacing a permanent crown just because it looks terrible a
really bad idea? I have the idea it is, so I'm asking here before I ask
my dentist!
