I am concerned about the toxicity of my metal crowns because they contain palladium. I want all six crowns replaced with veneers, so I will know that I don’t have metal in my mouth. How do I find a dentist who will replace them? Thank you. Len from Manhattan<\/p>\n

Thank you for your question.<\/p>\n

Palladium is a moderately biocompatible noble metal in the platinum group. Sensitivities to the metal are rare, but it is possible to react to palladium. Most dental crowns and bridges with a metal framework contain palladium.<\/p>\n

Still, if you want a metal-free alternative, consider these factors:<\/p>\n

Can You Replace Dental Crowns with Veneers?<\/h2>\n

Porcelain veneers require minimal tooth preparation and do not work for teeth that had crowns on them<\/p><\/div>\n

A dentist is unable to replace dental crowns with veneers. Preparing teeth for crowns requires shaving each tooth on all sides to allow the crown to fit over it. Porcelain veneers only cover the fronts of your teeth<\/a> and require minimal preparation. After a dentist shaves tooth structure in preparation for crowns, you will not have enough tooth structure for veneers. You can only get new crowns.<\/p>\n

Our daily nutrition and life rely on metal ions.<\/p>\n
