Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,116 | Hi, I had my six top teeth replaced yesterday with 6 crowns. Insurance does not cover any of it but it had to get done, very expensive! My teeth under 4 top veneers (veneers done pre-cancer)were very decayed, etc. The temp crowns look very nice I go back for real ones in two more treatments. I am still afraid to bite into anything and always take small pieces and chew on the right side (flap on left) and it has been over 3 years since surgery and radiation. My two cents worth. If any others have had crowns put in top front, let me know how they have held up. Thanks, Carol
