I Have Large "Black Triangles" 3 mm Wide Between my Front Teeth, Are Crowns a Good Option?
FrontteethSep 26, 2011
I have large "black triangles" between my front teeth. They are about 3 mm wide. I wanted to cover up these spaces. My dentist said these spaces are too big for veneers, and he recommended crowns. He said that because of the large spaces, veneers will have more chance of infection since the teeth are only covered on one side. I heard that crowns are more invasive because I will loose even more tooth structure. I am in my mid 50s. My insurance will mostly pay for the crowns.
