I got crowns 15 years ago but now want to close my gap and I do not want to pull my shaved down teeth (Photo)

Question

I have crowns over my gapped teeth but the crowns are very big and do not match my bottom teeth which are very small. I do not want to pull my teeth to close the gap ismaller caps. Can I replace my caps with veneers to have a close gap.

Juan (Sebastian) Munoz, DDS · Answer

Crowns cannot be replaced with veneers. A crowned tooth is shaved down more than a veneered tooth would be. Unfortunately there is no other way to properly close the gaps without orthodontics (braces or Invisalign). This is my personal opinion and not a diagnosis.

The proportions of your teeth must be restored again and for this purpose the old crowns can be removed and renewal can be done. Digital smile design softwares help us to do this

Best treatment option in your case is midline space closing by aligners/Invisalign followed by bonded retainer and frenectomy to prevent relapse.

As an aesthetic dentist specialist, I can assure you that your problem can be fixed with a smile makeover, which can provide a complete change in the shape, size, and even color of your teeth. This will help you achieve the smile you have always dreamt of.

In your case, the oversized crowns on your gapped teeth can be replaced with veneers to close the gap without the need for extracting teeth to fit smaller crowns. Veneers are thin shells that are placed over the teeth to improve their appearance, and they can be customized to match the size and shape of your lower teeth for a more uniform and natural-looking smile.

It is important to consult with an aesthetic dentist specialist to evaluate your individual case and discuss all available treatment options. With the right treatment, you can achieve the smile you have always wanted without compromising the health or structure of your teeth.
