“Can front teeth get dental crowns?”

Great question. They absolutely can. It does depend upon their condition and if it is justified. Good luck.

Yes, they can get crowns

Yes, I would advise you to get an all porcelain crowns if possible because the aesthetics are much better than a porcelain metal crown.

Unless there are extenuating circumstances, you should be able to get anterior crowns.

Any tooth that has enough tooth structure which serves as its core can have a crown to restore the tooth to it's natural beauty.

Every tooth can get dental crowns as long as there is still a root there.

In most cases all teeth can get a dental crown. Only if a tooth has a fracture that goes under the gum and reaches the bone, or if the tooth is mobile do to trauma or infection, then the tooth should be extracted and an implant can be placed prior to the new crown.

Yes they can. Crowns are usually needed when a large amount of tooth structure is compromised either from decay or trauma. If your teeth are intact and you are only looking to change the shape or color a more conservative treatment would be porcelain veneers. They leave much more tooth structure where it belongs in your mouth.

Yes. Any tooth can have a dental crown placed on them. There needs to be an adequate amount of tooth structure to support the crown.

Front teeth can absolutely get dental crowns.  There are multiple reasons for putting crowns on front teeth, ranging from broken down fractured teeth to cosmetic enhancements.  Before deciding to put crowns on the front teeth, a thorough examination (with radiographs) needs to be completed to determine the best treatment plan for not only the front teeth, but the complementary back teeth as well.

Hello,

Yes, front teeth can and do get crowns all the time. The reason why it is not done as much as back teeth because we use our back teeth much more as they are the teeth designed for chewing. Our front teeth are designed for biting into things like sandwiches and apples. After we bite into the food, we chew it with our back teeth. Also, we have the ability to use a fork and knife unlike most in the animal kingdom so there are meals we have that we do not bite into anything. As all this is true, there are reasons why we put crowns on front teeth and not all of them are functional reasons. Almost all traumatic accidents to the teeth involve the front teeth. Teeth that are significantly broken usually get restored with crowns (think about hockey players). Sometimes people do not like the color, shape, or gaps between their front teeth, so they elect to change them by putting crowns on their front teeth. It is a good way to get a great smile rather quickly. Sometimes crowns on front teeth are a better idea than veneers due to the ability of a veneer to fall off under the patients bite.
Hope this helps.

My best to you!
