Hi, I got a crown earlier this year in February (was basically pressured into it by a dentist) - they did not show me the crown and just cemented it on and I am soooo unhappy. It has made me really self conscious and sad. I reached out to a cosmetic dentist who can redo it but they can’t promise me it will be perfect. The tooth only ever looks good in regular light and sunlight, but if it’s directly into the light it looks horrible and fake - so it looks bad in flash photos. I’m so sad over this
