My whole mouth is crowns… before this I had really nice long front teeth and now they are short. Anyway I can have my front two redone to make them longer?

Steven Davidowitz, DDS · Answer

I'm sorry to hear that you're not happy with your current crowns. The good news is that it is possible to have your front two crowns redone to make them longer. I recommend discussing your concerns with your local cosmetic dentist. They can evaluate your situation and provide you with options to achieve the look you desire. Your dentist may suggest replacing the existing crowns with new ones that better match your preferences.

After consulting with your dentist, you can have your front two crowns redone to make them longer. First, your crowns will be removed and then a new one will be made at the appropriate length.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to have your front two crowns redone to make them longer. Here’s how it works:
Evaluation of Your Bite: Your dentist will first check how your teeth come together (your bite). If your current crowns are short to prevent biting issues, they’ll need to assess whether longer crowns would still work without causing problems like chipping or discomfort.
Redesigning the Crowns: If it’s safe to make the crowns longer, your dentist can create new ones that match the length and appearance you want. This process involves removing the old crowns, taking impressions of your teeth, and designing the new crowns.
Cosmetic Focus: Since your goal is to improve the appearance of your front teeth, your dentist will work with a lab to ensure the shape, length, and color of the new crowns look natural and suit your smile.
Gum Considerations: If the gumline needs to be adjusted to accommodate longer crowns, this can also be done with a simple procedure called gum contouring.
