Do Crowns on the Front Teeth Look Natural? Aesthetic Dental Creations Explains
You’ve broken your front tooth and can’t stand the pain and sensitivity. After visiting Aesthetic Dental Creations in Jackson, New Jersey, Dr. Balaji Srinivasan has told you a dental crown can repair your tooth damage. Now you’re wondering: will a dental crown on my front tooth look natural?Â
Today, people have no interest in dental treatments that don’t offer natural-looking results. This doesn’t just apply to cosmetic dental care procedures but even to restorative procedures aimed at improving your dental health. So, does a dental crown on your front teeth affect your smile? Keep scrolling to find out.
Dental crowns for front teeth
Disease, discoloration, decay, and damage are some reasons you may need a dental crown on your front teeth. Dr. Srinivasan rebuilds a compromised tooth by placing a dental crown to cover the entire visible part of your tooth. Once a dental crown is in place, your restored tooth becomes stable and better-looking, just like your natural teeth.
All dental crowns aren’t created equal. If you opt for gold or metal dental crowns, these restorations “stick out” whenever you open your mouth. These crowns are preferred for back teeth, where strength is required to handle the daily stress of chewing and grinding.
Our dental team uses all-porcelain crowns to restore damage or decay in the front teeth. We love porcelain material because it can be customized to match the shape and shade of the surrounding teeth, making it indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth.

How long does a dental crown last?
The lifespan of a dental crown depends on the material used and the location. Metal crowns tend to last longer than porcelain crowns. Also, crowns in the front teeth tend to outlive those in the back because they are less involved in grinding and chewing food.
We’ve seen patients with dental crowns for over 15 years. However, this depends on how you care for your restorations. Here are the steps to extend the mileage of your dental crowns.
- Brush and floss every day
- Avoid smoking
- See a dentist every six months
- Avoid biting hard substances like candy, ice, and pen caps
- Wear a mouth guard if you are active in sports or grind your teeth
