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.

Questions about crowns for worn teeth

Why crowns instead of bonding?
Crowns are not required for all wear. When the edge is already short, chipped, and stained, a crown can rebuild strength and length more reliably than a small bonding repair. That is the choice we made for this smile.
Is this the same as a gummy smile?
These teeth looked short because the edges had worn down. Extra gum over otherwise full-length teeth is a different problem, treated by contouring the gum.
