Porcelain Crowns
Our teeth are among our most durable – and hardworking – body parts. And when they are treated properly, they give us bright, happy, welcoming smiles! But just like the rest of us, our teeth are vulnerable not only to neglect, but also to the natural process of aging.
When you look at your teeth, what you see is the white enamel which covers the crown of the tooth. Over the years, your natural crown can become damaged or altered by many factors such as excessive wear or decay, health factors or medical influences.
We can restore your damaged teeth and greatly improve their strength, appearance, and longevity with individually custom-fitted and manufactured porcelain crowns which allow us to achieve the tone and contour of your natural teeth. In fact, all-porcelain crowns have a natural translucency that makes them hard to tell from your other teeth.
This type of restorative procedure is often a dentist's treatment of choice because of the excellent clinical results achieved in creating a strong, permanent restoration. The aesthetic quality of these restorations enhances the overall appearance of the smile, one of our most important communicative features.
What happens after a root canal?
During endodontic treatment, the nerve, blood and nutrient supply to the tooth is removed. This will cause the tooth to become brittle and prone to fracturing which could result in the need to extract the tooth. A full coverage crown is recommended to prevent this from happening.
Some patients decide not to get a crown due to cost. This could result in a fracture that more than likely cannot be restored. The result will cost you more time and money than you had originally planned for.
