What are Anterior Crowns?
Anterior crowns are those dental crowns that are positioned on the front teeth (incisors and canines). This is done to make the teeth’s appearance better and improve their functionality. They have to be placed more carefully and expertly since the teeth they are set upon are very visible whenever the patient is smiling or speaking. These can be customized according to the shape, size, and color of the patient’s teeth. 
They can be made of the materials listed below and are widely used since they provide a very natural-looking tooth covering that is not distinguishable. These materials include: 

• Ceramic
• Zirconia
   

Why are anterior crowns recommended? 
There can be tons of reasons why a dentist would suggest the patient opt for anterior crowns. Some of the reasons are: 

• Cracks and fractures
• Large cavities
• Cosmetic issues like discolored, misshapen, or poorly aligned teeth.
• Trauma to teeth caused by an injury
• For a tooth that has been weakened due to damage, breakage, or decay
• To cover a dental implant or anchor a dental bridge

Procedure for Anterior Crowns
Anterior crowns may take more than one sittings if the damage is more. The normal steps include the following: 

Step 1: Firstly, the dentist will examine the teeth and make a note of the patient’s history and expectations. Then the dentist will discuss the options for the anterior crowns. 

Step 2: Then the dentist will remove a small portion of the outer layer which is called the enamel, the area where the teeth are affected. If the dentist notices additional decay or damage, other treatments will be done beforehand, like a root canal. 

Step 3: The tooth and its surrounding area’s impressions will be taken to make a custom-made crown that looks just like the patient’s natural teeth. 

Step 4: Since it takes some time for the custom-made crown to be made, a temporary crown will be placed over the tooth to protect it from further damage or sensitivity. 

Step 5: After the custom anterior crown is ready, this crown will be placed after replacing the temporary one. All the adjustments will be made before bonding.

Step 6: Once the fitting is done then, the dentist will bond the crown to the tooth using special dental adhesive. This will be cured with a special light, after which any residue is removed. 

Step 7: The dentist will schedule a follow-up appointment to check if the patient is comfortable and the crown is fitted properly.
 

Aftercare of Anterior Crowns

• Aftercare is very important when it comes to maintaining the longevity of the anterior crowns and also for them to be damage free. These are some of the important factors:
• Brushing and flossing regularly
• Avoid hard and sticky foods
• If you grind your teeth or play contact sports, then wear a mouthguard
• Visit the dentist for checkups regularly
• Watch for signs of trouble 

Advantages of Anterior Crowns
There are several advantages of anterior crowns, including:

• Confidence

Since anterior crowns are not as visibly detectable as they appear like natural teeth, the patient can flaunt their smile boldly. Since they are placed on the front teeth, which are visible while smiling, talking, and eating, anterior crowns provide that confidence.
