Is getting six crowns on the upper front teeth safe to do in one visit? Is it even necessary?

August 6, 2016
Asked By:RealSelf Parpt in Flower Mound, TX

My two upper front teeth have been built up a few different times, but one of them keeps breaking little by little. My dentist has told me that I need to get crowns on the upper six teeth, the two upper front teeth and two on each side of them, in order for the color to match. I don't want two super white teeth and then the teeth around them not as white. I have an appointment set, but now I'm thinking this is kind of extreme!! I'm also worried about sitting through six preps in one visit.
