Will 4 crowns across my upper teeth give me a better look than just getting 1. I have attached photos, in your opinion could I achieve this look with 4 crowns
Answer: Four Crowns Vs. One In your case, there is no question that crowns across the front four teeth would be a much better option than one. The teeth could be made much more proportionate as far as height my to width ratios in an ideal smile. Right now your front two teeth are too long. Best of luck.

Answer: Esthetic Dentistry: @, 4 or * crowns give the best results. A single crown is difficult to match and I suggest you only go that route if your dentist has a lab that custom stains at the office. You could end up with a very nice result with four crowns or veneers but you might be disappointed.I would suggest starting with reshaping 8 & 9 and doing temporary cosmetic build upon 7 and 10 so you can evaluate the look.It is possible to do 8, 10 or 12 teeth to create a full wide smile and eliminate dark buccal corridors but a better choice would be to grow your obviously undersized, underdeveloped maxilla with a DNA Appliance.Ira L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMO

Answer: Smile design requires treating all visible teeth While a great result CAN be achieved with a single tooth, an even better result is achieved when doing 4. Only 4 STILL limits results, as treating all visible teeth (usually 8-10, but many patients display 12 and sometimes 14). It ALL depends on what your goals are and if that treatment fits within your budget.

Answer: #Crowns and #veneers #DrSoftTouch Hello Cayenne,Unfortunately, you will not achieve this look by only crowning four of your teeth. For a wider and brighter smile, I would recommend a combination of 8-10 veneers and crowns across the top. Make sure that the cosmetic dentist that you choose has outstanding before and after photos. They'll give you a good idea about what you can expect. Rehabbing smiles like yours is pretty common in my office. I've attached a link to a before and after photo of a patient of mine who's case was very similar to yours. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Answer: Anterior Crowns: One vs Four Thank you for your inquiry and time in submitting your photo. This is a great question! The number of anterior crowns/veneers you're looking to get depends on what your overall goals may be. Generally speaking, of course one crown would be alright but for a more dramatic look, 4-6 anterior crowns/veneers would truly give you a different look while being as subtle as possible. You'll want to go to an experienced dentist who has done many crown/restoration cases and see before and afters to achieve the look you're going for. This dentist will likely have you do a custom shade match so that your new restorations will match your adjacent teeth perfectly. You'll want to make sure the color, length and shape are perfect and by doing at least four crowns/veneers you'll be able to achieve this. Be sure you speak with your dentist about long-term affects and do you research (just as you are!) before starting any treatment - make sure you're comfortable with your decision to ensure your happy with your results. We wish you all the best!
