Got 2 new gold dental crowns one month ago. ordered high noble. they are now gray in some spots and look like gold color has worn off. is this normal?

Specializes in Dentistry

High Noble Metal: The material used should be the same throughout the restoration. It could be a reflection that makes it appear darker. If a fresh silver filling has come in contact with the gold metal, a transfer of color can occur. Your best bet is to have your restorative dentist take a look.
