Dental related issues.
I have caps on my front 6 teeth (upper jaw). I am not completely satisfied with them. As sometimes I find it a bit artificial. Even some people point it out too. It has been around 6-7 years I have these caps. Is there any other better thing that can be done for my teeth. As back then things were expensive and alternatives were quite less. I have seen lots of new things that are being done in place of capping. Please let me know if anyone has a solution.

The crowns that you have are in all probability in metal ceramic material. They have a disadvantage of being overly opaque and do look a bit artificial. However there are several all ceramic materials that can simulate the tooth to an extent that it is difficult to distinguish from a natural tooth. However for this you need a skilled dentist and a bigger budget.

Hi. You can go for full ceramic cap also called zirconia caps done properly by a cosmetic dentist. These look very natural and nobody can identify. They come with warranty as well. Regards
