First, I would want to know why you want crowns on your two front teeth. If your doing it for appearance, dont do it unless you need them for health issues and that the tooth NEEDS to be replaced. I have three crowns all near the front where I smile, I had to get them because they decayed way too much and needed to be capped. They require more maintenance such as flossing and brushing to keep them clean. Decay can form under crowns so you need to be careful.
There are ways to keep your real teeth looking nice without getting crowns. If your dentist says you need them, you need them. If you really want them for your appearance, think about it really hard. Your tooth has to be cut down to a stub, barely anything there, for a cap to fit right over it. They are capable of coming out and have to be re cemented too. You will not be able to bite into anything hard anymore like beef jerky or anything else that you may bite into thats hard. There are just a lot of things to consider. I am not happy with three crowns but I had to get them because they all have had root canals from decay when I was younger. Now.. I wish I took better care of my teeth when I was little!
