I have a crown in the front of my mouth that has metal showing at the gum line. Can anything be done to make it look better?

The gray line you see at your gum line is indeed the metal alloy under your porcelain. Dr. Anderson chooses to use crowns that have no metal in them to avoid having any gray metal exposed. We also are very careful to place the edge of the crown just below your gum line to conceal margin between the crown and your tooth. Our lab technicians are very skilled in making precision fitting crowns that look totally natural.

Many times the only way to eliminate the line is to remove and replace the crown. Today's ceramic materials are so incredibly life-like that you will be totally pleased by the improvement!
