Can I remove my two gold crowns and keep my regular teeth without getting white crowns ?

Question

I have two solid gold crowns on my teeth I want them removed but how would my original teeth look under ? I don't want white crowns I want my regular teeth back if possible I had my golds since 2013?

Hi, I am assuming you want the golds removed on your front teeth? Unfortunately to place these kinds of crowns it requires some modification of your original tooth. So, when you remove the gold your tooth will not look like the original tooth. Once you remove your gold you can either have a white crown to match the color of your surrounding teeth or if not too much tooth has been altered then bonding your tooth might be an option. Either way when you have your dentist removes them be prepared that you will most likely have to have something done to the original teeth. Good luck!

Hi:
Unfortunately your teeth have been shaved down to make room for the crown, once they are removed you need to cover the teeth with another crown otherwise you will have sensitivity and the teeth willl be more prone to decay.
Best,
Dr. Maddahi
