DENTAL CROWNS

If your tooth is decayed, damaged, or discolored, crowns offer an excellent solution. We'll fit one over the tooth, which helps protect it from further damage. A crown is also useful cosmetically because its clean surface can cover a tooth with aesthetic imperfections.



Let’s discuss the benefits that dental crowns offer to patients.

DENTAL CROWNS
Signs You’re a Good Candidate for Dental Crowns

There are many ways a crown can help improve your oral health and appearance. They can cover:

Why Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer many advantages to patients. They can last for more than a decade, and they don’t require any special care other than what you should be giving to all your other teeth.


In some cases, a dental filling may be enough to resolve any issue the tooth is having. However, if the filling is large, or we’re concerned that the bacteria from the decayed tooth might spread to other teeth, we may recommend a crown.

Crown Materials

Our office offers both Zirconia and Emax crowns.

Zirconia

Zirconia crowns are growing in popularity because of their durability. This is particularly useful for your back teeth, where your crowns may face more pressure than other parts of the mouth.

Emax

While Emax crowns aren’t as strong as zirconium, they are transparent. This makes them particularly useful for teeth near the front of the mouth, which won’t experience the same level of pressure but are more likely to be seen.
