Treatment completed at Lush Dental Studio, Sacramento. Individual results vary.
When the edges have worn down
Front teeth can wear short, chip, and pick up stain along the edges. The close-up shows shortened, uneven front teeth with chips and brown stain. They look short because the biting edges have worn away, not because of extra gum.
Crowns are not required for every worn tooth. Some wear can be managed with bonding, night-guard protection, or a more limited repair. For this smile, the four front teeth were short, chipped, and stained, and Dr. Khan rebuilt them with zirconia crowns.
What the crowns changed
The four crowns restore length and give the front teeth an even edge line and a uniform shade. The canines in these photos were not crowned. The length is planned so the edges look even and natural in the smile, not overly long.
