Q. Why are my gums black around the base of my crown?
Even with the highest quality crowns with porcelain butt margins, if there is leakage, there will eventually be staining. This staining will eventually cause the tooth root to get dark at the gumline. This black ring around the base of a crown can even make the gums appear black.
Q. Why is there a black line at the gum line?
Metal gives the crown strength, while the porcelain on top gives it an aesthetically pleasing look. Gray or black at the gum line can be present if the border (or margin) of the crown is exposed.
