Can I keep my crowns when I have the rest of my teeth fixed?
Q.
Dear Dr Tennet,
I would like to improve my smile. I currently have 2 crowns (2 front teeth) which I had after a see-saw accident which were recently changed in Sweden (June 2009). They look great and I would like to keep them. The teeth either side of them I would like to be improved. My dentist in Sweden will not do this as it is for cosmetic purposes therefore I will need to go elsewhere. Will the new practice need to change the front 2 teeth or do you think it will be possible to leave them as I find it to be uneccessary due to cost and that I love the look of them already?
My second question is I have the option to have these improvements in either London or Portugal – from a cost / technology / qualified point of view which do you think would be the best option for me?
I appreciate you help with my questions very much.
Kindest Regards,

It should be possible to keep the two teeth that you are happy with , the adjacent teeth will be naturally be slightly different and so this is is not an issue unless you want to change the shape position of the adjacent teeth. I generally recommend that you have treatment with the dentist that makes you feel most comfortable with and who is easy to access in case of problems.
