Enhancing and Revitalizing Your Smile
Dental crowns serve as cosmetic restorations that repair and reinforce weakened or damaged teeth at Modern Dental Smiles in Boynton Beach. They frequently address fractures, wear, or decay needing extra stability and shielding.
Crowns encase the tooth's visible portion above the gums, functioning as a durable new exterior. Cemented in place, they deliver enduring strength and resilience.
Crown Materials
Dental crowns can be crafted from various materials, such as:
- Porcelain: Chosen for its lifelike look, replicating natural tooth translucency while offering excellent durability.
- Metal: Renowned for superior strength and lifespan, ideal for rear teeth enduring heavy chewing forces.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal: Merging durability and aesthetics, this provides robustness with a realistic appearance.
When Do You Need Crowns?
Crowns become necessary when insufficient tooth structure remains to hold a filling. Distinct from fillings inserted straight into cavities, crowns get custom-fabricated in a lab from tooth impressions.
For severely decayed, fractured, or compromised teeth, crowns offer the optimal way to reinstate function and aesthetics.
Crown Procedure Steps
The crown fabrication starts by capturing an impression of your tooth, enabling the dental lab technician to study your bite and jaw motion. This data guides the creation of a precisely fitted crown. The aim ensures seamless bite and jaw function post-placement, delivering comfort and peak efficiency.
