CROWNS

Do you have large stained fillings? Do you have existing crowns that are dark at the gum line or look unnatural? Crowns have been used in dentistry for many years. A crown may be indicated for the following reasons:

  • The tooth has a large cavity.
  • The tooth has had root canal therapy.
  • The tooth has a large, filling, leaving the remaining tooth weakened.
  • To replace a failing or unsightly existing crown.
  • For alignment of teeth or closing large gaps between them.

Crowns can be made of several different materials each of which may be indicated for different situations:

  • Gold
  • Porcelain Fused to Metal (A metal substructure with a porcelain covering)
  • All-Ceramic (Porcelain with no metal)

The trend is towards reducing or eliminating metal in dentistry. The All-Ceramic Crowns are state of the art. They appear very natural and have the advantage of being bonded to the tooth for strength. Since there is no metal substructure, they don't have the "black line syndrome" at the gum line.
