Dental crowns, which are custom-crafted replicas of natural tooth crowns, are one of the oldest forms of restorative dentistry, and can serve multiple purposes. When a tooth is cracked, fractured, or broken, a crown can hold the tooth together and protect it from further damage. If your tooth is cosmetically blemished, then a porcelain or zirconia crown can improve its appearance. If you qualify, a crown can even replace a lost tooth when coupled with a dental implant.
We Take Care To Provide The Right Dental Crown For Your Needs
Whether you need protection after a root canal, are interested in restoring a less attractive tooth, or need support because of an injury, a dental crown can help! These restorations come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. For instance, partial crowns (inlays and onlays) can be designed to cover only a portion of a tooth, instead of all of it. You can also choose from several different materials depending on the location of the tooth and your specific needs and preferences, with options for added durability as well as for more lifelike looks. Your options include:
- Metal
- Porcelain-Fused-To-Metal
- Porcelain
- Zirconia
