Crowns
Crowns are used to restore and improve the aesthetics and function of teeth that are heavily filled or broken down. Aesthetic crowns are used in areas of the mouth where appearance is important. They are made of porcelain or porcelain firmly bonded on to a precious metal substructure. A crown can strengthen your teeth when fillings become too large to stay in place.
Used correctly crowns can improve your smile, strengthen weak teeth, and restore your ability to chew in some areas. They are also used on back teeth after root treatments to reinforce the tooth.
What are crowns made of?
Porcelain (no metal) crowns are metal free and look very natural, unlike traditional old-style crowns which often display a distinctive metal line adjacent to the gum line.
Porcelain fused to metal combines the appearance of porcelain with the added strength of metal.
The new titanium tooth root provided by the implant is very strong and stable, allowing you to eat normally – enjoy the feeling of biting into your meals once again!
