I saw the dentist today and learned that the crown didn't have any porcelain on it when it was installed. When the temporairy crown was installed I looked at it and it was white. I suppose I just assumed the permanent crown would look the same except with porcelain. This mixup could have been avoided if they had showed it to me before installing it. But, obviously, they didn't see any need to do that. They assume everyone understands what they are getting.
She said they stopped making them with porcelain about 60 years ago because too many of them had problems. So this one is a mixture of gold and platinum. So that's it. I don't have to have it redone.
