Dental Crowns
Dental Crown Expertise For Hampton Roads
Also called a "cap", a dental crown is a long-lasting artificial cover for a tooth. It can be made of gold or other metals, porcelain or ceramic, or a combination of metal and porcelain. A ceramic or porcelain crown can even be made to look like a perfectly natural tooth!
When the option is clinically suitable, teeth whitening, bonding and dental veneers are more conservative options than the traditional method of crowning teeth.
However, a dental crown may be the only option available when a tooth has become severely damaged or decayed, or has had root canal therapy. Preparation for a dental crown does require that the tooth be slightly reshaped so that the crown can be fitted and cemented onto the tooth. And if the damaged tooth is highly visible, such as a front tooth, an all-ceramic or porcelain crown is recommended as a ceramic or porcelain crown can be designed to match the neighboring teeth. Dental crowns can last for many years if properly cared for.
