You&#8217;ve had them for ten years. It may be getting close to time for them to be replaced. If so, it will make sense to do them all at once so you&#8217;re not making several trips to the dentist. But, that&#8217;s up to you, not a necessity.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the dentist tells you to replace them all so they&#8217;ll match, that&#8217;s a bad sign. It means he has trouble making things look natural and the same without multiples. \u00a0A skilled cosmetic dentist can match just one crown.
