Firstly, when you get front caps (not crowns ... they are for molars) your teeth are files down to points and root canal is usually done with a small "post" inserted to strengthen the tooth. It is going to be entirely up to your dentist to decide what to do. You two teeth may have weakened and they may have to be pulled and perhaps you will end up with a bridge. I have one tooth out on the left front and one on the lower and I have a bridge and you can't tell I don't have all my teeth.

What options are there for worn down teeth?

usually only crowns/caps or posts.


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.

Is there a difference between white and Y dental crowns?

Yes, there is a difference between white and Y dental crowns, primarily in terms of material and appearance. White crowns are often made from porcelain or ceramic, providing a natural tooth-like appearance and are commonly used for front teeth. Y crowns, or zirconia crowns, are known for their strength and durability, making them suitable for both anterior and posterior teeth. While both types can blend well with natural teeth, the choice depends on the specific dental needs and aesthetic preferences of the patient.


What is the best type of dental crown for sensitive teeth?

Zirconia Crowns: Highly durable and biocompatible, zirconia crowns are non-metallic and ideal for patients with tooth sensitivity or metal allergies. E-max (Lithium Disilicate) Crowns: Made from strong ceramic, E-max crowns offer excellent aesthetics and are gentle on sensitive teeth due to their metal-free composition. Porcelain-Fused-to-Zirconia Crowns: Combine the strength of zirconia with the natural look of porcelain, offering both comfort and durability for sensitive teeth. All-Ceramic Crowns: Free from metal, these crowns minimize the risk of temperature-related sensitivity and allergic reactions. Avoid Metal-Based Crowns: Traditional metal crowns can conduct heat and cold, often triggering discomfort in sensitive teeth. Custom Fit is Key: A properly fitted crown with minimal tooth preparation reduces irritation and protects the underlying tooth structure. Conclusion: For sensitive teeth, metal-free crowns such as zirconia or E-max are the most comfortable and biocompatible options.

My friend suggested that I'll have my dentist get me an all-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns' What do you think' Should I proceed with that or can I just get a metal crown instead?

Your friend is correct in recommending all-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns, especially in cases where the crown will be visible in a smile. All-ceramic, and all-porcelain crowns are seen as the most natural looking crowns that can be used, especially for front teeth that are designed to mimic the color and translucency of teeth closely. They are also good choices for people with metal allergies because they contain no metals. However, they are usually less strong than metal crowns, so they are less suitable for teeth that experience the due to chewing pressure. For that reason, you should consider metal crowns for molars which are where most grinding and chewing takes place. Metal crowns may not blend into a smile aesthetically, but metal crowns tend to last longer, and require less removal of tooth structure. The decision between all-ceramic crowns, all-porcelain crowns and metal crowns will depend on individual needs such as location in mouth, aesthetics, and budget. It is always a good idea to go over both crown options thoroughly with your dentist! FMS DENTAL HOSPITAL - Kondapur Contact Us! Call (+91) 8885060770 email: contact@fmsdental dot com

How are your front teeth like an ax?

When YOU bite down on something, the wedge shape OF your front teeth produces enough force to break it into pieces, just as an ax splits a log


Your dentist is already talking about crowns for you- only 20 years old but you have had a ton of cavities-recovering bulimic- What should you do about your teeth just save the money and get dentures?

If your teeth can be saved with crowns, you probably ought to get the crowns. Dentures are not nearly as functional as natural teeth or crowns. They will tend to become loose and need to be replaced over time. Dentures are really a choice of last resort.


Is teeth whitening for everyone?

It is safe to get your teeth whitened if you have crowns and fillings. Your natural teeth will whiten but not your artificial ones. If you get your teeth not match your crowns or filling. So be careful if you can see your crown or fillings. I would think twice about doing it. Consulting a professional will help you decide.
