Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are not only a solution to correct problems with your teeth but also improve the outward appearance of your teeth. If you have insecurities about the appearance of your teeth or your smile porcelain crowns are the solution.
A mould will be taken of your teeth in order to get the perfect shape, the crowns are then bonded onto your teeth using a special bonding material.
The advantages of using pure porcelain is that the crowns are almost identical to the existing colour of your natural teeth, our dentist will match the colour of the crown to the almost exact shade of your teeth.
A crown completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant, crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the on going health of your teeth.
If oral hygiene is maintained well and regular visits to the dentist are adhered to there is no reason why a porcelain crown will not last you for many years, possibly even a lifetime. Once a crown has been fitted it is virtually impossible to tell that it is not a natural tooth.
Porcelain crowns are bonded to the natural tooth to enhance the shape, colour or size of the tooth, they are an aesthetic durable alternative for the treatment of cracked teeth, space problems and teeth of odd uneven sizes, they will also add strength to your natural teeth. Porcelain crowns do not stain and will make crooked teeth look straight, allowing you to smile with confidence and not feel self conscious.
Nowadays porcelain crowns have advanced hugely and you no longer see the black lines that used to be visible around the gum line a few years after treatment, this was previously caused by the metal used underneath the crown, this method is rarely used now as dentistry technology has advanced greatly.
Porcelain crowns are typically the most popular type of dental correction due to them looking so realistic.
To have porcelain crowns you must have a healthy root on your tooth or teeth, if this is not the case your root will need to be removed and you should consider dental implants.
Porcelain crowns will really have dramatic effect and leave you with a attractive, healthy smile.
