I have large fillings on my two upper front teeth. I am having them crowned soon and want a very natural look. My dentist has suggested also crowning the teeth next to each from tooth for a total of 4 teeth. The other teeth are fine and are not unsightly. He suggested that crowning all 4 will look better cosmetically. I am not bothered by the other two teeth and only went in wanting the two front teeth crowned. Now I feel really stressed. I want the teeth to blend in and look natural. I am worried that if I only do the two from teeth that this is not possible as he is advising all 4. I had to really psych myself up to ask for the 2 crowns, 4 really is beyond what I wanted. I have scheduled all 4 s he advised because I want a nice result. I Want to know if it is possible to get a good result and have my smile look natural with only crowning the two front teeth? Any advice would be helpful
 
It's hard to answer but my "gut" feeling is that might not be the right dentist for you...WHy
In dealing with aesthetic treatment dentists try to avoid treating just the front 4 teeth because it often may not look just right. I have done plenty of two teeth crowns and it is possible in most cases to have a nice look. BUT it depends on several details and I don't have the information to tell you.
In general any dentist who deals with aesthetic treatment will have a collection of photos of other patients, if not then be very careful.
