To Protect And Restore
A dental crown is a restoration that caps the tooth or an implant’s abutment. They are made out of porcelain because it provides a similar look to the natural teeth without any dark shadow.
At Dental House we use the best materials, we use milled zirconia crowns which provide the best fit, strength and natural look.
Why would yo need a porcelain crown?
- To protect a tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked one.
- To restore an already broken tooth or a worn down tooth
- To cover and support a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left
- To hold a dental bridge in place
- To cover severely discolored teeth
- To restore a dental implant
- To make a cosmetic modification
Advantages
- Improve the aesthetics: natural and healthier color and shape.
- It’s the best protection treatment to a heavily broken-down tooth.
- It gives extra protection to large fillings
- Porcelain crowns last longer than other restoration procedures or including fillings.
- We use ceramic materials, we don’t make metal crowns
- The treatment is very conservative
