Crowns: Is it right for me?
Crowns (or Caps) are dental restorations
that are placed over a tooth when conservative
restorations are insufficient to restore
& function. They are indicated for
fractured form teeth, Root canal treated
teeth, teeth with large broken down fillings
thereby protecting and preserving the
underlying natural tooth.
They are either metal in overlaid ceramic or the newest and state of the art “All Ceramic PROCERA® Crowns that not only are more esthetic and tissue friendly but also as strong as ceramic metal crowns. The core of these crowns are fabricated in Sweden and arrive at our office in 3 days after your appointment and can be fit in your mouth 3 days later, giving you an enhanced more life like result and impeccable beauty and esthetics mimicking that of natural teeth.
Is a Bridge right for me?
If you have missing teeth, a bridge prevents
the remaining natural teeth from shifting,
so that dental arch integrity and esthetics
are not compromised. They are permanent,
fixed alternatives to tedious removable
partial dentures.
The missing teeth are replaced with an artificial tooth connected between 2 crowns (caps) that are permanently connected on the adjacent teeth. They are either ceramic-metal bridges or the recent PROCERA® All Ceramic Bridges.
