Is it possible to add veneers to existing crowns?
Q. Hi, I was wondering if it’s possible to add veneers to existing crowns? I have a fairly extensive bridge on my upper front teeth but have always felt that they are too flat and small compared to what my natural teeth would look like. I would love to have them longer and a bit more prominent and hoped that adding veneers may just be the answer? Many thanks,
A. Hi
Thanks for your questions, it isn’t possible to add veneers to existing crowns. Veneers can only be placed directly onto your teeth. Once a tooth has been crowned, you would need to discuss replacing the crowns with your dentist, but I would recommend that you explain the reasons why you do not like the existing crowns. The dentist should be able to take an impression of your existing crowns and your bridgework and ask his laboratory to create a wax up of the results which would be possible with new crowns and a new bridge to acheive the look that you long for. I hope this helps, but please do not hesitate to contact me again if I can assist you further.
Kindest Regards
Hi i have crowns on my two front teeth they are not the lightest which i orginally wanted they are between a 1 & a 2 even though they match the rest of my teeth at the moment they look natural am i being too fussy. Is it very costly to replace them as thinking of going to another dentist. thanks lou
I think I might need a crown and wonder what your range of charges is for this treatment. Also do you do the traditional dental treatment, checkups, fillings, etc. and if so what are your costs.
I have had some cosmetic work done to my teeth and been recently informed by another dentist that the what I had done was costly and inaccurate. I think I may need 2 crowns in my front teeth and some bridges at the bottom, atthe moment I am finding it hard to eat as the fillings on my front teeth keep chipping off, do u do advice of the best treatment for me to go ahead with? Many thanks
