Two broken front teeth → two ceramic crowns

SMILE STORY · CROWNS

“Both front teeth were broken. A crown is a cap for your tooth. It covers the whole tooth, all the way to the gum.”
— Dr. Richard Miyata, DDS · General Dentistry

Before: two broken upper front teeth next to a shade guide (real patient). After: two ceramic crowns on the upper front teeth (real patient).

How it usually goes

  1. Pick the color — We match it to the teeth next to it.

  2. Shape the tooth — We take off a thin layer all around.

  3. Put the crown on — It's made to fit, then glued in place.

Quick questions

Can a broken front tooth be fixed with a crown?

Often, yes. A crown covers the whole tooth and protects what's left. An exam tells us if it's the right fix for you.

Crown or veneer — what's the difference?

A crown covers the whole tooth. A veneer is a thin shell on the front only.

Will it look natural?

We pick a color that blends with your other teeth.

Every smile is different. An exam tells us what's right for you.
