More about Dental Crowns

Dental crowns strengthen your smile by covering the entire visible surfaces of each tooth, above the gumline. They hold your teeth together like a suit-of-armor, protecting your teeth from biting pressure and chewing stress. When you bite down on a crown, the stress is evenly distributed across the entire surface of your tooth, protecting the tooth from breaking and losing tooth structure.

You need dental crowns if you have teeth that are:

• Badly broken or damaged with significant loss of tooth structure
• Worn down or eroded from aging, grinding, or bad dental habits
• Weakened and brittle from past root canal treatment

Dental crowns make your smile more beautiful because many dental crowns are made of pure porcelain, a material that reflects light and looks just like natural tooth enamel. Porcelain crowns blend with your smile, instead of looking artificial. For increased strength, you can also choose porcelain fused to a metal underlay, known as a PFM crown. These crowns are a perfect choice for back teeth where you need more strength for chewing.

Your smile can also become more beautiful with dental crowns if you have teeth that are:

• Filled with old, crumbling, metal fillings
• Filled with leaking tooth-colored fillings
