I have recently had crowns put in but I feel that some are bit too long, can I have them shaved down a little?
Q.
Hi,
Hi,
I recently had four zirconia crowns placed on my upper anterior teeth, and while I love them I think the lateral ones are a little bit too long (nearly the same length as the middle ones).
I was wondering if it would be possible to have them shaved down up to about half a millimetre, or would this undermine their strength and longevity?
And if so, can you tell me approximately how much I should expect to pay for this?

Your dentist should be able to gently shorten the lateral teeth without there being any damage to the porcelain. If I were treating you, I would do this as part of the treatment so there would be no charge.

Thank you, I wish I could go back to my dentist as he is brilliant but alas I had them done overseas, which is why I was wondering about the cost of getting them shaved down a bit.
Are you able to give me an estimate for cost?
