Dental Crowns

The most common crown restoration placed today utilizes a metal lining covered with porcelain.

These types of restorations are not as natural in appearance because light is not able to pass through porcelain-metal crowns as it does with a natural tooth. The result is an opaque or flat-looking tooth.

Often, these types of traditional crowns leave a dark or gray line next to the gumline. Our talented team of cosmetic dentists is proud to offer a natural looking alternative: all-ceramic, non-metal crowns!

With these newer restorations you will notice the life-like appearance that mimics natural teeth and does not produce the black gumline so common with porcelain-metal crowns.

You might be a candidate for dental crown for a variety of reasons

To restore a tooth to its original shape.
To strengthen a tooth.
To improve the cosmetic appearance of a tooth.
