Dental crowns provide a durable and natural-looking solution to restore smile aesthetics and fully restore a person’s ability to bite, chew, speak, smile, and maintain oral health.
Whether you’ve got severe decay, a cracked tooth, or a dental implant in need of a long-term (10–15 years or more!) restoration, custom-made porcelain crowns are ideal for strength, protection, and natural, attractive appearance.
Convenient Protection for Weakened Teeth
Dental crowns act as protective shells, reinforcing cracked, broken, or severely worn-down teeth and serving as permanent replacements atop dental implants. Designed and fabricated from durable porcelain and placed all during a single visit, CEREC® same-day crowns prevent further damage by absorbing bite force and distributing it evenly.
Restored Natural Appearance
Modern crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing a seamless appearance. Your dentist will carefully match color, shape, and size to create a restoration that looks completely natural. Whether covering discolored teeth or restoring or replacing damaged ones, porcelain crowns can have a transformative and restorative impact on your smile.
Improved Chewing and Speech
A weakened or missing tooth makes it difficult to bite and chew comfortably and effectively. This can lead to pain, dietary restrictions, or even damage to other teeth as a result of favoring certain parts of your mouth. Crowns fully restore biting ability, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of foods without pain and preoccupation.
Additionally, for patients with damage to their front teeth, crowns help improve enunciation and prevent lisps or other speech issues.
Dental Support
Crowns are crucial to restorative dentistry, as they protect teeth after root canals, cover dental implants, or anchor a dental bridge. By providing extra support, dental crowns contribute to the longevity of these treatments.
