A crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that completely covers a decayed or damaged tooth. The dentist trims away part of the natural tooth to make room for the crown. The crown protects the tooth and restores its original colour and shape.
Traditional dental crowns are made of several materials. Crowns made of porcelain fused to zirconium are as aesthetic as they are strong, which is why we often offer them to our patients. Crowns made of porcelain fused to metal are generally made on dental implants. Crowns made entirely of ceramic are the most aesthetically pleasing. Crowns at our clinic are manufactured on-site in our in-house laboratory specializing in ceramic and porcelain, by an experienced technician, or using our CEREC technology.
Your dentist at Dentistealaval.com will advise you on the best crown for your specific case. Schedule an appointment with one of our experienced dentists by calling the clinic today.
