Porcelain Crowns and Bridges
Crowns have become the restoration of choice for many people---including the front teeth due to the superior strengths of todays ceramics and bonding materials that are available. Not only are crowns strong and long-lasting like the natural enamel they cover and protect, crowns can precisely be matched to the translucence, color and contours of your other teeth so no one will ever know you have one.
Why consider a crown?
Existing Damage--If you have a tooth that has been worn down by teeth grinding, an improper bite, or decay, a crown restoration could extend is longevity, or even save it for life. People of all ages are also susceptible to cracked or broken teeth for many reasons, including accidents and sports injuries. Crowns will give these teeth much needed support.
Prevention-- When a tooth becomes at risk, a crown can prevent more serious and costly damage. For example, nearly invisible cracks can be a telltale sign of grinding problems and are a prediction of possible future damage. A tooth that has an existing large filling restoration becomes weak over time and with daily use, which is why a crown can prevent tiny cracks or breakage of the tooth.
Cosmetics-- Time takes its toll on just about everything---even dentistry. Older restorations can become compromised and they can lose their vibrancy. A new crown can correct these situations. Crowns and bridges can enhance the shape and smile design of your teeth with very natural looking porcelains available today and no one will know you have crowns.
