Crowns for smile designing
I got dental crowns done for cosmetic reasons as adviced by my dentists. Was it a bad decision? Reading comments on the Internet is making me feel very depressed about my decision. I cannot concentrate on anything else in my life. I feel like I've ruined my life and have to carry this artificial burden for the rest of my life. I wish I had veneers instead. But I was advised to get crowns. It's so traumatic. Do people of my age get crowns for smile designing? I feel so burdened.

Welcome to practo...
The crowns can cause discomfort in the initial phase of placement..
But gradually it will subside..
If you feel discomfort even after two weeks, then check for any high points..
Even after that, if you have discomfort you can go for new crowns or veneers if possible..
Don't worry..

Hi. If it is disturbing you so much, I would advice you to send a picture of the same here or take a second opinion. If you can afford, get it changed because you cant hide your smile forever. Laminate and veneers give you natural look which is missing in normal crowns.

Hi, since crowns have already been done, try and maintain them properly. If maintained well you get used to it and they last long as well. There is nothing to get depressed as your age people also get crowns done for various reasons.
Next Steps
Take extra care in maintaining the hygiene around the crowns.
Health Tips
Proper brushing,
Massage the gums around the crowns daily
