I have temporary crowns on my two front teeth and I am waiting to get my permanent crowns made and put on next week. I am in Korea and the dr. that is doing the work is Korean. He made the temps attached together as one unit and he said the permanent ones will be the same. I think it looks and feels unnatural. Is this standard if the two front teeth are fully crowed?
