Crowns on 4 year old = buck teeth?

[Fwallus]

My almost four year old had cavities filled today on 7 teeth. The dentist convinced us to do crowns on his front teeth, stating it was the best option and that they would look fine, but they don't. My son had cavities between his teeth, but now he has huge, white buck teeth. We called the dentist, but have not received a response from her, only her admin.

Our questions:
- Was this done correctly? (Considering the amount of work done we are worried about the things we can't see)
- What are our options now? My son had a beautiful smile. Can we "undo" this? We feel very mislead about the outcome.

The dentist also said he had soft teeth, so she had to make his fillings bigger than expected. This is adding to our concerns.

Thanks in advance,

Hey I know this is so old, but I am facing the same case now!
what happened with you? did you change your son's crowns ?

Yes, we took him to a different children’s dentist who fit him with appropriately sized crowns. The difference was remarkable.
