crowns
Crowns are made of gold and high-grade porcelain, and are made to completely encircle the tooth or dental implant. A minimum of two visits are required to fit and place a crown. In the first visit, decay is removed, the tooth is shaped, a mold of the tooth is made, and a temporary crown of metal or plastic is installed. In subsequent visits, the permanent crown is fitted and, finally, bonded to the tooth using dental cement. When properly fitted, a crown will look completely natural, indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

Crowns are used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth. They serve to replace missing, misshapen or broken teeth, or when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth. Crowns have the added benefit of completing a smile, and of restoring a functional bite and chewing capabilities. |
