Crowns are prescribed when a tooth or
teeth are too badly decayed, broken or cracked to be easily restored
with a filling. Crowns are normally needed for teeth that have had
root canals. Crowns are also placed on dental implants to replace
missing teeth. Crowns can be made entirely of gold or porcelain
fused to a gold substrate for strength and beauty. However, with new
technology, crowns can be made entirely from high-strength ceramic
and porcelain for beautiful cosmetic results.
With proper
care, your new crown will increase your overall health and instill
confidence for years to come.
