Porcelain crowns are “caps” that completely surround a tooth that has been seriously damaged or decayed. Crowns replace lost tooth structure and provide strength and protection for the natural tooth.
Using updated technology and materials, your family dentist in Santa Monica creates durable, high-quality restorations that will provide you with many years of use. That’s good to know, but what are some other benefits of choosing crowns?
3 Reasons to Choose Porcelain Dental Crowns
- Crowns restore function – If you have a damaged tooth, you know that it is a constant reminder that there’s a problem. It hurts to eat many of your favorite foods because other teeth are doing all the work. A high-quality crown relieves undue pain or discomfort by restoring function to the natural tooth.
- Porcelain crowns look natural – There are many materials that can be used for crowns, but our patients prefer porcelain. This material has the same translucent qualities as natural tooth enamel and can be shaded by your dentist to match your unique smile. The result is a restoration that blends in seamlessly with your smile.
- Crowns restore confidence – No one wants to live with damaged teeth. Even if the problem is not obvious, you may feel self-conscious simply because you know something is not right. A well-made porcelain dental crown not only restores function but also improves your appearance and your self-confidence.
