What kind of crown treatment should I have?
Q. Good Afternoon I am very confused!!! I want four crown on my upper front teeth, I have a crown on one of them and other two are discoloured and have large fillings. I went to see one dentist and he suggested that I get Lumminners, but can they be made as crowns? or are they just veneers? are they suttable for old crown and large filling? I am also considering CEREC crowns. Can you advise what is the best option? Would all ceramic crowns be better? I am very unsure what to choose…,
A. The teeth need to be restored with porcelain that covers the teeth and finishes on tooth substance and not on old fillings. This means some teeth have classical veneers where as others may be half way between a veneer and crown. Cerec works very well ( please go to my web site for examples) but the dentist really need to know what they are doing. Lumineers are just a brand name of a certain veneer. Hope this helps
