Porcelain Tooth Crowns
Tooth Crowns In Novi, Michigan
Serving Ann Arbor and the Metro Detroit area
Tooth crowns are custom "caps" that are permanently bonded over the visible portion of the tooth. Tooth crowns are used when the strength, health, or integrity of a tooth has been severely damaged as a result of a cusp breaking off, a large amount of decay, large, old fillings, or cracked, fractured teeth. Tooth crowns made of porcelain can also improve the appearance and function of worn or discolored teeth.
Dr. Serra, a cosmetic dentist conveniently located in the Detroit, Michigan area, corrects many aesthetic and functional problems of his patients with all-porcelain crowns, which are the newest type of tooth crowns. Porcelain tooth crowns take advantage of the latest bonding and ceramic technologies, which allow the crown to act as if it forms one piece with the tooth.
Porcelain tooth crowns have a much more natural feel and appearance than past forms of tooth crowns, making them indistinguishable from your natural tooth tissue. Not only do porcelain tooth crowns protect teeth that have extensive damage, they can hide cracks, discolorations, imperfections; they are also an attractive alternative for those who want to replace their old, metal restorations.
Not all dentists are trained in the bonding and placement techniques needed to correctly apply porcelain tooth crowns. If you are considering porcelain tooth crowns to restore your smile, you should consult with an experienced cosmetic dentist like Dr. Serra in Detroit, Michigan.
In most cases, only a few appointments are required to place your new porcelain crowns. During your first appointment, Dr. Serra will discuss the results you want to achieve with your porcelain crown. During the second appointment, your tooth or teeth will be prepared; a mold will be taken of your prepared teeth, and temporary crowns will be placed on your teeth. The mold is then sent to a dental laboratory so that is can be custom-created to restore your tooth and perfectly match the rest of your teeth. During your final appointment, Dr. Serra will bond the porcelain crowns onto your teeth.
