WOW! That sounds like a rough crash... sorry to hear it.

About your front teeth... how are crowns different from porcelin veneers (? spelling)? Because just about everyone in Hollywood has veneers and their teeth look great!

I have a crown in my mouth, on some teeth in the back... that can't be seen, and it looks real... from what I can tell.

In my opinion, teeth are important... and I would go into debt just to have the best looking teeth possible... so my advice is spend the money on what will look the best!
