Frequently Asked Questions

Will my crown look fake?

No! Aesthetic crowns are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth perfectly. Even you won't be able to tell which tooth has the crown.

How long do aesthetic crowns last?

10-20 years with proper care. Longevity depends on material, location, oral hygiene, and habits.

Can I whiten teeth after getting a crown?

Crown won't change color with whitening. Whiten natural teeth BEFORE crown placement so we can match the crown to your desired shade.

Are aesthetic crowns weaker than metal?

Modern ceramics are very strong! Zirconia is actually stronger than metal. All-porcelain is strong enough for front teeth.
