I have crowns on my front teeth (crowns are 15 yrs old). One of the crowns has a small nick off the front face (invisible to anyone but myself and my dentist). I'm concerned that when they make molds (for a teeth whitening - my crowns are now a bit lighter than the surrounding teeth) that the crown will shear at that spot as the nick is inset and about a quarter of way from the bottom. I don't want to replace my crowns. Is there any way to exclude my crowns when making a mold?
