I had the enamel wearing down on my front 4 teeth and that is what my dentist did...4 veneers...over &#036;3000.00. Sounds like AR. dentists are as expensive as CA. &#33;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />my understanding is the crown is like a slip cover for your tooth.....<br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />I have three crowns.  One front tooth I broke with a hammer when I was in high school (don&#39;t ask <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />) and two molars which had fillings, and later cracked.  They custom make the crown to match your teeth, then grind down the original tooth to make a post.  Then, they sort of glue the crown over the post.  Now say aah.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ohmy:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />
