Why Is There a Dark Line Around My Filling or Crown?

Why Is There a Dark Line Around My Filling or Crown?

A dark line around a filling or crown can have several causes. In some cases, it may simply be staining or the appearance of metal beneath a restoration. However, it can also indicate wear, a gap between the restoration and tooth, or even new decay developing around the edges. A dental examination can determine whether the dark line is purely cosmetic or a sign that treatment is needed. Learn more in Dr. Anna’s latest blog.
