Porcelain Crown
As its name suggests, a crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed on a tooth where there is no longer sufficient structure left to place a filling. A crown is usually recommended after root canal treatment; it is also appropriate when a substantial amount of tooth structure has been lost when a tooth is cracked, broken and fragile. A crown can be made using plastic, porcelain and gold. The dentist will discuss the benefits of these materials to help you choose the best solution for your needs.
In creating a crown, a model is taken of your teeth and a laboratory creates your customized crown from the model. Once we receive the finished crown, your dentist will place your crown on the prepared tooth and will ensure your comfort and proper bite. A crown is truly a work of art and patients are often amazed at the final results.
