Front tooth crown
I had a front tooth discoloration issue. After that I went to sabka dentist for the correction. They told me that you will have to get root canal and zirconia crown.
The doctors gave me two option: value and premium and told me that results are almost similar in both the cases however premium one will have 10years warranty and the value one with 5.5yrs warranty.
So I decided to go with the value one.
But now they already made 4 crowns for me, all the crowns looked bulky and shapeless and anyone can figure out that I have a front fake tooth. It's just not matching with my other teeth.
Then they are saying that the lab which made the tooth says that it cannot be made thin as it will break. I have already paid them 9000 for the crown. I requested to consult other doctor of sabka dentist who is more experienced. Now that dentist says that you should have taken the premium one.
Do you think I can get a natural tooth that matches with my other teeth both color and shape wise?

Hi front teeth are all about aesthetics hence the choice being made of opting for all ceramic crowns is right.
Zirconia is one type of an all ceramic restoration , even though very strong it is an opaque material.
Since the front teeth crowns need to look more realistic, natural , right shade match it would be a wiser option to choose emax crowns or translucent or layered zirconias.
So definitely your problem can be resolved.
Next Steps
Kindly visit the clinician , along with close coordination with the lab they can design your crowns according to your preference.

Hi..
Whenever you have to choose crowns /cap for the front teeth always choose zirconia crowns.
Zirconia ll have less thickness,light weight,and give an almost natural look..
PFM can be chosen for last teeth, depending on ur smile line,n for molars.
