Restore Your Teeth With Crowns

If you need restorations completed to teeth that are chipped, cracked or decayed and still want to have an aesthetically pleasing result, crowns are a suitable option.

A crown is a restoration that is placed over the affected tooth to amend its shape, size or strength. They cap or completely cover a tooth and may be used for aesthetic or functional reasons.

Two types of crowns are used mostly:

1. Metal bonded to porcelain crowns have been used for many years and are still utilized in most cases, depending on the shade chosen. They consist of a metal core with porcelain baked around it. Metal is virtually invisible once the crown is cemented in place.
2. Zirconia All Ceramic crowns have ceramic core and contain no metal. They are also commonly used.

At City Smiles, your dentist will be able to advise which crown choice is more appropriate.

Most frequently, crowns are used to repair cracked teeth which have been weakened by fillings, grinding, clenching or root canal treatment. They can also be used for cosmetic reasons and if excessive wear has occurred.
