At Brentwood Family Dental, we have a team of professionals who
are ready to help patients enjoy beautiful, healthy smiles for
life. We offer a variety of general, cosmetic, and restorative
dentistry procedures that can be used to achieve the smile
patients have always wanted! When it comes to restoring smiles,
many patients love to use dental crowns to provide coverage and
protection. There are several types of dental crowns available,
including ceramic and metal. Our team encourages patients to use
porcelain crowns whenever possible.
What are dental crowns?
Crowns are dental restorations made to cover the visible
portion of a tooth. Some patients refer to them as
dental "caps" because they are placed over the
teeth. Crowns are used in many situations. They may be
used to:
- Cover a tooth with cosmetic imperfections
- Provide protection for a broken tooth
- Strengthen a tooth with a large filling from tooth
decay
- Restore a smile that is missing a tooth with
placement over a dental implant
- Fuse to a false tooth to create a dental
bridge
- Cover a tooth that has had root canal therapy and
may be weak
Why porcelain crowns?
When patients have dental work done, they are often
worried about their restorations LOOKING like dental
work. Most patients want restorations that look natural
and blend in with their smile. Porcelain dental crowns
are best because they are fabricated to match the color,
shape, and size of the existing teeth.
