Crowns vs Veneers - which teeth restoration method do you prefer?
For individuals with chipped, broken or malformed teeth, a dental veneer is the ideal solution. Made from porcelain or laminates, they do not stain and have the look and feel of real teeth. Crowns can be temporary or permanent. Temporary ones are used during the interim, while patient awaits a new permanent crown. Known as dental caps and cemented on teeth, crowns cover and protect large cavities.
Do porcelain crowns on front teeth look natural?
Yes they do and they are "caps" (crowns are for the molars.) I just spent $12,000 on my teeth and had the front ones capped as well as the bottom front and the rest bonded. You can't tell they aren't your real teeth. Remember, even though the teeth are capped you have to go in for dental check-ups because you can still get cavities.
How do the front teeth and back teeth look different?
Obviously, they look very different, considering the fact that the front teeth are used for biting, while the back teeth are used for tearing and chewing food. The front teeth are thinner and 'taller' while the back teeth are blunt and wide
How long do dental gold crowns last?
Dental gold crowns can last for decades. I've personally seen some last over forty years. In general, porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-porcelain crowns do not last as long a gold crowns. A goal for dental providers is to be able to place a crown that will last at least ten years. This is considered a adequate lifespan of a crown. Most crowns will last longer than this but gold has the best track-record for longevity. One reason gold lasts longer is because it is more forgiving to the chewing forces created in the mouth. Porcelain is more brittle and can fracture, whereas gold is malleable and can change shape to accommodate the force rather than fracture. Gold crowns are often recommended for back teeth which actually bear higher chewing stresses when compared to front teeth. Porcelain is opted for when aesthetics is a concern. This is why porcelain is generally recommended for teeth closer to the front. They look more like real teeth and they can last a long time when they aren't under a lot of chewing stress.
Why do you have milk teeth?
Milk teeth are temporary because as the jaw grows we need bigger teeth to last a lifetime. Kids permanent teeth usually look big because their face still needs to grow.

Do your front back teeth fall out?

What types of dental crowns are there?
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are not ideal for front teeth because they do not have the same esthetics as natural teeth (the metal on the inside, which is added for strength, does not allow light to pass through the crown like it would on a natural tooth, so these crowns look more opaque). Also, as the gums recede, you may see the edge of where the crown meets the tooth, and a black metal line may appear. All ceramic (porcelain) crowns are great for front teeth, because you can get really good esthetics. However, they are not as strong as natural teeth. So if you tend to grind your teeth, you may break the porcelain. A new kind of metal, Zicronia, is white, so you don't get the same problems as with the metal in typical PFM crowns. Emax and Lava are two types of zirconia crowns that are very nice looking.

What does suze orman use to make her teeth white?
My guess is some type of porcelain veneers or crowns. Possibly lumineers. Celebrities with teeth you see coming a mile away are usually fake. I agree. She has a totally different look on the cover of her book, Nine Steps to Financial Freedom.
