Crowns and Bridges

• Since they are made in a laboratory and not your mouth, it is easier to rebuild the ideal contours of the natural tooth than it is with large fillings.

• Crowns can prevent cracks from spreading through a tooth.

• Porcelain crowns can restore the tooth to its natural contour, function, and appearance.

• Metal crowns will not generally chip, and provide the tooth with a surface that is durable.

• Porcelain fused to metal crowns offer a good combination of durability and esthetics.

• Porcelain fused to zirconium crowns arguably offer the best combination of durability and esthetics.
