Crown Restorations Have So Much To Give

Most of us are hyper-aware of strategies for health including a weekly exercise regimen and a healthy diet. Techniques for restoring, revitalizing, and even saving your smile? Not so much. Crown restorations for example, can enhance your appearance...improve your ability to eat and speak...and renew your self-confidence.

Here are some common questions about popular crown restorations.

What is a crown?

      A restorative crown can be a protective cover or cap for your tooth, or it can be attached to an implanted root to replace a missing tooth.

Can my smile really become as good as new?

     Yes, even better actually.  Because of today's superior ceramics and bonding materials, crowns are strong and long-lasting like your natural enamel and they can be precisely matched to the translucence, color, and contours of your other teeth.

How do I know if a crown would work for me?

     A protective crown is an excellent choice if you have poorly shaped and discolored teeth, cracked or unstable teeth, damaged and aging restorations, or teeth that have weakened from root canal treatment.

What if I have multiple smile issues?

     If you have missing teeth, several crowns can be attached to a bridge appliance to prevent drifting teeth and further damage.  For extensive discoloration or chips, porcelain veneers restore teeth and improve smile proportions.
