Unhappy with new crowns, should I have them redone? (Photos)

Question

I had my front four teeth crowned, and I am unhappy with the look of the new crowns. I had peg laterals that have been bonded for years, and was very excited for this procedure. My dentist was a family dentist who has done my bonding before beautifully. He said A1 at first for the color, but the A2 temporary was horrible so he said I could do B1. I just feel the teeth look off in color and bulkiness. They are zirconia. Should I seek a cosmetic dentist and have them redone? Thank you!

If you are unhappy with the crowns, you can certainly have them redone to fit your specifications. Esthetics is a matter of personal preference. Our job as a dentist is to understand your specific esthetic and make sure we communicate that properly to our lab technician. Never settle for a smile that doesn't make you feel 100%! If you do not like them, look into other options with an esthetic you feel more comfortable with.
