Gold crown replacement
I have an old gold crown, probably more than 30 yrs old. My dentist wants to replace it. I have no pain or other symtoms of decay, but my dentist sees many tiny cracks and believes I might have problems in the future that will be harder and more expensive to remedy. What are the risks are waiting?

Hi there,
There are few indications for replacing a crown like secondary or recurrent caries; crown fracture, tooth fracture, endodontic problems and occlusal problems etc.Do consult your dentist if these tiny cracks in the crown can be repaired. If you are not satisfied with your dentist’s opinion it is best to seek second opinion. A clinical examination is must for correct diagnosis and treatment. Keep me posted.
Best luck and regards!
