A crown is a cover or a cap that restores your tooth to its normal shape, and size, allowing the tooth to properly function again..Crowns can make your teeth stronger, and improve the looks of the tooth. 

Reasons For Crowns

Cracked Tooth 

We do crowns on Teeth that are Cracked or have Large fillings to stop them from Breaking, and to reduce the Risk / Need for a Root Canal. Sometimes when they break there is no other choice than to extract the broken tooth.Once broken Crowns are usually indicated to once again give that tooth the strength needed to chew again.

Large Filling

Root Cannaled Teeth

We do crowns on Teeth that have Root Canals. Root Canalled teeth tipically are more brittle that a regular tooth. So, Root canals cause teeth to be more likely to fracture. We crown these teeth to give them more strength.

Aesthetics and Old Fillings

When teeth have extensive patches ( Fillings );  Crowns will give them the extra strength to avoid those embarrassing Missing / Broken teeth days. Crowns may look better too.

Rest Seats For Partials

    When a partial denture is going to be made, it will hold onto several teeth, to gain it's stability. These teeth will accept the force of chewing, they must be very sound in structure, or they will break. So, if a tooth has a large filling, it is usually wise to crown it prior to the fabrication of a partial denture.

Empress Crowns

Before 

Empress Crowns are an all  porcelain crown.  This allows for the crown to be more translucent much like a natural tooth. So with a Empress crown we can control the size and shape of the tooth, and have complete color control.  The Porcelain is bonded into place, creating a solid structure with crown and tooth all becoming one.  Since there is no metal in this process the reduction of tooth structure is less than that of a conventional crown (PFM).

After

PMF Crowns - Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns

Porcelain Fused to metal Crowns ( PFM ) offer an economical way to restore broken, worn and discolored teeth.
