CANDIDATES FOR ALL-PORCELAIN CROWNS

You may be a good candidate for an all-porcelain crown if you:

• Want to replace an all-porcelain crown
• Need to restore a cracked, decayed, or broken tooth
• Need a crown to finish restoring dental implants

BENEFITS OF ALL-PORCELAIN CROWNS

If the tooth is discolored or cracked, a porcelain crown can take care of the problem. The application of a porcelain crown, sometimes called capping, is used often by dentists in the fields of both cosmetic and general dentistry to solve tooth problems for their patients. Learn more about the benefits of porcelain crowns.

An all-porcelain crown delivers:

• A natural, life-like appearance
• Luminescent color layering
• Added strength and protection
• A metal-free restorative solution
• A safe, biocompatible alternative to renew your smile

Since porcelain crowns are made to match the color of your natural enamel, this makes them ideal for discreet, natural-looking dental repairs.

In some cases, a person needs a crown for non-cosmetic reasons, such as a tooth being so damaged that it is painful to even eat or talk. This can happen if a tooth has cracked because it has worn over time, or it could be the result of an injury. In either case, having a porcelain crown will take away the pain and sensitivity of the broken or cracked tooth, restore functionality, and create a natural-looking tooth.

With all-porcelain crowns, these dark lines are a thing of the past; with no metal involved all you’ll see are beautiful, translucent, healthy teeth.
