My Porcelain Crowns Are Too Big For My Liking. Can I Have Them Shaped And Polished Without Damaging Them?

Q.
Hello Dr. Moore. I recently got porcelain crowns on my front two teeth. I think they look a little big. Can they be shaped now that they are in place? I have always hated my two front teeth because they looked too big and I would preferably like them much smaller. I was hoping that the crowns would have made them look smaller. If they try and shape them now will it dull them and is there any chance of them cracking or breaking? Any advice you can provide will be very helpful and I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

Hello and thank you for your question. They can be adjusted and polished but sometimes you need to consider that they need to be that shape to fill the space left by the front teeth. I’d advise you to speak to your dentist and make a list of exactly what you want your teeth to look like and ask him whether this is possible? Ask your dentist to refer you to a good cosmetic dentist if he doesn’t feel up to it. I hope this helps you with your enquiry. Kind regards, Dr Andrew Moore.
