Dental crowns, or “caps,” are often used in both general and aesthetic dentistry. These restorations are made of porcelain and are extremely strong. They are fabricated to cover the entire tooth. When placed, they offer a barrier from the elements and help maintain a tooth that has been broken or weakened due to trauma, a large dental fillings, or root canal therapy. Whatever the reason, the dental crown can provide protection and strength.
There are several benefits to dental crowns.
Crowns are versatile.
Crowns are used in many different situations. They can be fused to false teeth to create a dental bridge, they can restore a dental implant and act as a false tooth, or they can cover a tooth that needs strength.
Crowns are beautiful.
Our laboratories use some of the highest quality porcelain to fabricate dental crowns for our patients. We focus on custom design to ensure integration into the existing smile.
Crowns are strong.
Porcelain is a material that can withstand normal chewing and biting forces and is used for many different restorations within the smile, including dental bridges, porcelain veneers, and even fillings.
Crowns are affordable.
Patients will find that dental crowns are affordable, and patients with dental insurance may be able to get partial or full coverage for their restoration. This can greatly reduce or even eliminate the out-of-pocket expense needed to repair their tooth.
Crowns are long lasting.
When patients take good care of their smile with brushing, flossing, and maintaining recall visits with Dr. Andrew Greenberg, they will be rewarded with long-lasting restorations. Crowns can last ten years or longer with proper attention.
