Our smile is one of the first things people notice. But when teeth fracture, are discolored, or your smile is not as attractive, crowns may be recommended. Crowns have been the pedestal in dentistry as the best enamel replacement when a tooth needs to be reconstructed. Great selections of materials are available today to satisfy the patient’s desires and needs. From all porcelain to full metal coverage, they will provide a great service depending on the need. As new materials evolved, the demand for Cosmetic Dentistry has increased. And incredible smile transformations can be done to meet the desires you may have.

Veneers are also a modified version of crowns. Made entirely of porcelain, veneers are a conservative way to redesign the smile you’ve always wanted. In some instances, very little to no tooth structure may need to be done in order to transform your smile. Crowns can also be made to become fixed, or permanent bridges, in situations where teeth are missing. In order for a bridge to be made there must be at least two teeth available on either side of the missing space, hence the term bridge. A fixed bridge can provide you with the stability and integrity of your bite, while giving you a beautiful smile again.

Indications for the need of Crowns and Bridges: Large defective or decayed fillings Teeth affected by large areas of decay Cosmetic Smile Reconstruction Diastema (Gap) Closure Fractured teeth One or more missing teeth Severe wear due to clenching and grinding Bite Reconstruction due to TMJ disorders Permanently stained teeth due to medications or trauma Minor crowding correction Root Canal treated teeth
