Usually, it’s not a serious problem. It’s often a cosmetic issue that can be treated when you go to a dentist. But it’s also important to know why this problem appears.

The most common reason why crowns in New Westminster might cause black lines to appear under them is due to the material used to make them. Gold and PFM or Porcelain Infused to Metal is typically used to create a crown. The PFM material is made from alloy or another type of metal, usually semi-precious and a porcelain overlay will be installed over it.

When your dentist prepares you for the installation of the crowns in New Westminster, the crown is installed under the gumline to make it look more natural. This will also ensure that the crown margin will be hidden. However, the margin can appear due to gum recession and that is the reason why the dark line appears.
It’s often mistaken for tooth decay but this is actually just the base metal of the crowns in New Westminster appearing.

You also need to have your gums checked. If the metal is already starting to show, it means the gums can no longer support the crown. Gum recession can happen as we get older due to poor dental habits or excessive brushing of teeth. People with bruxism or teeth grinding habits might also experience this.

Tooth decay can also be a potential cause, albeit not as likely as the first two. Although crowns in New Westminster are designed to protect the tooth under it, that doesn’t mean that the tooth is impervious to decay.

Taking care of your teeth, crown, and gums can prevent this problem from occurring. Brush your teeth properly two times a day. Be gentle when brushing your teeth to avoid harming the gums.

Avoid stress as well to minimize gum disease and bruxism. When you have pent-up stress, the chances of you experiencing gum recession are higher.

Proper installation of your dental crown is also important. Go to experienced dentists from dental clinics like Belmont Dental Centre. That way, the crown will be installed properly and you can enjoy using it for a long time without experiencing issues like this.
