I don&#8217;t want to be ashamed every time I smile.<\/p>\n<p>Sandy M. &#8211; Little Rock, AR<\/p>\n<p>Sandy,<\/p>\n<p>I have bad news and good news. I always start with the bad news so we end on a hopeful note. It is impossible to replace crowns with <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a>. When you had your crowns placed, your dentist had to grind down a good deal of your tooth structure to make room for the crowns. Porcelain veneers need to be bonded to intact teeth. With that tooth structure gone, there&#8217;s nothing for the veneers to bond to. <\/p>\n<p>However, that doesn&#8217;t mean you are stuck with an unattractive smile. A good cosmetic dentist can give you a stunning smile using <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-crowns.html\">all-porcelain crowns<\/a>. Based on what you described, you have metal-based crowns. They&#8217;re the ones that develop a gray line at the gumline. It also explains the cloudy look you mentioned. The crown is made more opaque to cover the metal. <\/p>\n<p>All-porcelain crowns solve all of those problems. They can be as translucent as natural teeth. Combine that with the artistry of a great cosmetic dentist and you have a recipe for a smile you&#8217;ll be proud to show.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\">Dr. Duane Delaune<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I see these gorgeous pictures of porcelain veneers, then look in the mirror at my horrible ugly crowns and get discouraged.
