Tooth Crowns Spokane
Sometimes a tooth is damaged to the point that fillings won’t help hold it together. When that happens, a tooth crown is often recommended. Natural-looking tooth crowns can help repair badly broken teeth by covering up and protecting the remaining tooth structure from further decay. They can even take the place of a tooth in the instance of a dental implant.
Tooth crowns can be made of porcelain, or a porcelain/metal hybrid, or all gold. Dentists like Drs. Ken & Marnie Collins can help you understand what kind of tooth crown meets your specific needs. Regardless of what material it is made of, your tooth crown will be custom molded to whatever tooth it is needed to replace so that it will be indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Porcelain Tooth Crowns
Porcelain crowns are the best quality crown that you can get. You may initial wonder why you would use porcelain to make a tooth crown. Isn’t porcelain really fragile? In fact, the porcelain used in today’s tooth crowns is very strong and durable. Porcelain tooth crowns are able to withstand the natural wear and tear any tooth is subjected to. As an added bonus, the porcelain material is very tooth-like in appearance. The shade of the porcelain can be customized to match the teeth surrounding the tooth crown so that your smile is restored naturally.
