CROWNS AND BRIDGES IN VANCOUVER
Dental Crown and Bridges
WHY WOULD I NEED A DENTAL CROWN?
A dental crown is an artificial covering typically made of porcelain or metal alloys, that caps the visible part of your tooth. Dentists typically use crowns for teeth restoration, as they can improve both the appearance and function of a tooth. Often used to protect a tooth from experiencing further damage or enhance the appearance of your smile, a dental crown has many advantages. You may need a dental crown for several reasons including:
• Covering a tooth that has had a root canal treatment
• Covering a dental implant
• Restoring the appearance of a misshapen or severely discoloured tooth
• Holding a dental bridge in place
• Protecting a weak tooth from further decay, cracking, or chipping
• Supporting and covering a tooth that has large fillings
DIFFERENT MATERIALS OF DENTAL CROWNS
There are several types of crowns that are regularly used at Fraser Dental. When having a dental crown placed, the crown can be formed out of metal, composite, or porcelain, all with their own set of advantages.
• METAL CROWNS: There are a variety of metals that can used to make crowns for teeth. Gold, palladium, chromium, and nickel are amongst the most popular types of crowns as they rarely chip nor break. In terms of wear and tear, metal dental crowns last a long time and are highly durable.
• COMPOSITE CROWNS: Dental crowns made from synthetic resin are known as composite crowns. These types of crowns offer a more natural, tooth-like appearance compared to metal crowns.
• PORCELAIN CROWNS: Therefore, this type of crown is not typically recommended for molars but is a great solution for teeth where esthetic is the primary concern.
