What Are Crowns?
A dental crown covers your entire tooth like a miniature suit-of-armor. When you bite down on a dental crown, the biting pressure is spread evenly across the entire surface of your tooth. The even biting distribution helps to keep your tooth from breaking. Dental crowns give you full biting strength once again. They also restore your confidence, because you can once again eat the foods you love without worrying about your smile.
Modern cosmetic dentistry offers more than just the conventional metal crowns which were the only choice a few decades ago. Today, you have a more aesthetically beautiful choice. You can choose a porcelain crown. Porcelain is a uniquely beautiful material that reflects light just like tooth enamel, so porcelain crowns look completely natural.
Types of Crowns
A full porcelain crown is the most cosmetically beautiful crown and is suitable for any area of your smile. Once it is placed, a full porcelain crown is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
If you need a crown on a posterior tooth, you will also want more biting strength. You may want to choose a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, also known as a PFM crown. These crowns are beautiful and have the added strength of a metal underlay. They lose their light-reflective quality because of the metal, but they are still an excellent choice for your back teeth.
