I am anxious about dental appointments anyway, and the thought of getting this work redone scares me. Could another dentist reshape these crowns to match my teeth? Thank you. Andra from GA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andra,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your question. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Getting natural-looking results on crowns for front teeth is challenging, and zirconia crowns are even more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges with Zirconia Crowns for Front Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some dentists with advanced cosmetic dentistry training understand how to make zirconia crowns look natural on front teeth. A cosmetic dentist can produce impressive results knowing these principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Dental labs make zirconia crowns from ceramic blocks<\/strong> \u2013 Dental labs mill mono-color zirconia blocks to shape them to fit over damaged natural teeth. The challenges are that a natural tooth varies in shade and translucence and achieving the right tooth shape with crowns takes a skilled dental ceramist.<\/li><li><strong>Porcelain layers can make zirconia look natural <\/strong>\u2013 A ceramist must bake porcelain onto the surface and manipulate the color to match your natural teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a Dentist Reshape Your Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, you will need new crowns because a dentist cannot reshape the existing ones. Ask your dentist for copies of your dental records and x-rays. Find an advanced cosmetic dentist for a consultation and exam to discuss how to correct your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-female-dentist.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"260\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-female-dentist.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of female patient sitting and relaxing in a dental chair, for information on sedation dentistry from Plano female dentist, Dr. Miranda Lacy.\" class=\"wp-image-1296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-female-dentist.jpg 260w, https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-female-dentist-223x300.jpg 223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Ask your dentist about sedation options<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>After taking pictures and a mold of your teeth, a cosmetic dentist can create temporary crowns that match the characteristics of your natural teeth.
