Austin Porcelain Crowns - Fix Seriously Decayed and Broken Down Teeth
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain Crowns are the solution for more seriously decayed and broken down teeth.
Porcelain Crowns (caps) are used to restore damaged teeth when veneers and bonding are not an option. While a veneer is fixed to the front of a tooth, a porcelain crown fits over the entire tooth and is aesthetically matched to the surrounding teeth. Traditionally, crowns were built on a metal core, which caused a dark black line to appear at the edge of the gums where the crown was bonded to the tooth. However, new biomaterial technology now allows porcelain crowns to reflect the translucence of natural teeth, creating an indiscernible solution to your (unattractive tooth) problem. The edge of the porcelain crown is now placed at or above the gum line, which not only eliminates the unsightly black line of old, but also is healthier for teeth and gums.
