Dental Crowns Near You
When the structure of your tooth weakens or is compromised, a crown is often required. All-porcelain crowns are recommended to our patients as they are natural-looking and prevent the enamel from breaking or cracking.
Porcelain Dental Crowns are Used to:
- Replace a large or worn-out filling
- Replace a cracked or leaking filling
- Replace a metal filling
- Replace an outdated or deteriorating crown
- Restore a fractured or broken tooth
- Conceal a discolored tooth
- Cover/protect a dental implant
- Cover/protect a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
Advantages of Porcelain Dental Crowns
Porcelain crowns are the restoration of choice for two main reasons. Firstly, the porcelain material is resilient and can withstand the pressure of biting. Secondly, it is extremely effective at mimicking the look and feel of natural tooth enamel. Just as natural enamel reflects light, so do custom-made porcelain crowns. Additionally, you will not have to worry about dark visible lines around your gum line as the entire crown is constructed from porcelain, no metals are used. If you are looking for dental crowns in Carrollwood, we are happy to offer dental crowns near you.
