I’m not sure if I should go forward with something my dentist wants to do. I need a crown. But, he wants to put a metal based crown on the tooth. My mother had one of those and it was horribly ugly. Would mine be ugly too or have their been more developments since then?<\/p>\n

Ally,<\/p>\n

I haven’t seen your mother’s crown, nor do I know when she had it placed, so it would be hard for me to tell you if there have been advancements. However, I can tell you that cosmetic dentists (who care as much about form as they do function) would not put a metal based crown on a front tooth.<\/p>\n

The reason for that is the appearance, as you’ve noted about your mother’s old crown. A metal based crown requires a more opaque layering in order to “cover” the metal. Plus, you will eventually develop a gray line at your gumline, which will be unattractive and distracting.<\/p>\n

Instead, I’d recommend an all-porcelain crown<\/a>. These are perfectly strong enough to be placed on your front teeth, and are much more attractive.<\/p>\n

That being said, you’ll need to have a good cosmetic dentist<\/a>\u00a0to do it. Even the most beautiful materials need artistic hands to make their beauty shine. \u00a0Especially because it is a front teeth you’re talking about, I cannot stress how much the skill of the cosmetic dentist will make a difference on how the crown will look.<\/p>\n

The best cosmetic dentists are accredited with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).<\/p>\n
