Can you crown a baby canine tooth in an adult?

Question

One of my canine teeth is still a baby tooth and I'm 23. I wanted to know if I could keep the baby tooth and put a crown on it instead of removing it and/or getting braces/Invisalign to fix it.

Yes, it can be possible. Go to one specialist to value if will be durably, esthetic and functional and get the best option the doctor proposed you.

If the baby canine is healthy and has enough structure to bond to, we can place a crown, porcelain veneer, or composite on the tooth to make it look like an adult canine.  Consult with an experienced cosmetic dentist for the best result.
