I have had all six of my front teeth on the top crowned. The dentist took impressions so I expected my smile to look the same as it did before, but it looks completely different. Why take impressions if you aren't going to make the teeth match the impressions? It looks like they gave me someone else's teeth.

Answer: Poor Dental Crown Appearance
Dr Neuhaus has given you the perfect answer below. That is the proper process in fabrication of multiple dental crowns in the esthetic zone. If this was not performed this is the reason for your question. Be very mindful on your choice of dentist. Be very weary of corporate dental "mills" or dentists without proper training in esthetic dentistry. Let the dentist know you are unhappy with the outcome and see if he/she will work with you. Any reputable dentist that has gone through the measures that Dr . Neuhaus has discussed below and you are still not happy with the results will try to make it right

Answer: Crowns Don't Look Like My original Teeth
Most people that have all their front teeth crowned do so because they are unhappy with the way the front teeth look. A well-trained cosmetic dentist will discuss with their patient, in advance, exactly what the patient expects. He will then have a wax-up made in the shape of the final restorations, and make temporary crowns so that you have a preview of what the permanents will look like. You also get a chance to function with the new temporaries. Only then, after both you and the dentist are satisfied, should the permanents be manufactured.
