Is It Possible To Shave The Teeth Without Damaging The Crowns And Veneers?
I received two dental crowns on #8 and #9, the dentist decided to put veneers on #7 and #10. I am unhappy with the look of the teeth, they are too round and look very youthful. I want more of a Vigorous style. Is it possible to shave the teeth without damaging the crowns and veneers, and without having to get them completely redone?

Thanks for using health Care magic.
Read your query.
Yes,it is possible to shave the tooth ,but that will subsequently leave the tooth unprotected causing early damage to the tooth structure.Early sensitivity can happen if the enamel layer is removed in excess.
I would advice you to talk to your dentist and would rather avoid it .If absolute necessary then the dentist will help with it.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
