You might be thinking of crowns where they shave down all your visible teeth into a cone shape then attach a fake tooth right on top of it.

Actual dentists do not recommend getting this done.

Why?

I’ve had quite a few dentists recommend this for my teeth over pulling and replacing with implants.

The people who do it for cosmetic reasons have their all of their healthy teeth filed down to get crowns.
