Is having two front crowns replaced three times reasonable? How will it affect the tooth structure underneath?

April 19, 2016
Asked By:BethMM in Saskatchewan, SK

I recently had two front crowns placed for the 2nd time. My first placement (roughly a year ago) resulted in two front teeth that were bulky and too white. He wanted to fix this and did. I just had my 2nd crowns placed and they are now too yellow. He wants to try again. How will this affect my teeth underneath? He says he will have to shave down even more of the tooth stub. I'm very worried this will all happen again and cause damage under the crowns, but I refuse to live a life without smiling.
