It depends on how many crown are being placed. It is extremely difficult for a dentist to place one crown in your smile and have it be unnoticeable. Crowns tend to transmit /reflect light differently than your natural teeth and the eye perceives that difference. Your best bet is to do an all porcelain crown of which there are several types. Better yet, if it is affordable for you, replace the teeth in pairs. Have the work done by the most competent cosmetic dentist you can find. He won't be cheap but you really do get what you pay for when it comes to cosmetic dentistry.
Yep. Very much so.
It depends on the dentist and labs they use. Normally we use lab who are experts in esthetics so our crown looks natural.
