With a customized porcelain crown.<\/p>\n<h2>Are Crowns and \u201cCaps\u201d the Same Thing?<\/h2>\n<p>Crowns are full-coverage restorations that cover your entire tooth, up to the gumlines. In layman\u2019s terms, many people refer to them as \u201ccaps.\u201d Essentially, they act like a protective helmet that\u2019s bonded over your tooth.<\/p>\n<p>Once your tooth is crowned, we usually don\u2019t have to worry about it succumbing to the strain of normal chewing or biting forces. By design, crowns are intended to extend the life of your tooth so that it doesn\u2019t have to be extracted.<\/p>\n<p>You might need a crown if the tooth:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Has an old, large metal filling that is starting to crack<\/li>\n<li>Is severely decayed or fractured<\/li>\n<li>Has recently been treated with a root canal<\/li>\n<li>Need extensive cosmetic treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Porcelain?<\/h2>\n<p>As cosmetic dentists, we\u2019re concerned with the appearance of your smile as well as its integrity. Porcelain accommodates both. Not only is it durable and long-lasting for restorative purposes, it also reflects the most natural aesthetic characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>When a tooth needs a bit more help than what a white filling or porcelain veneer is equipped to handle, a porcelain crown is the perfect choice.<\/p>\n<p>If your tooth needs to be crowned, it\u2019s best to not put your procedure off for too long. Otherwise, your weak tooth may start to break or fracture apart even further. Choosing to protect it with a porcelain cap is the best way to save your smile\u2019s health and appearance at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>For further information about porcelain crowns or any other dental treatment please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/CrystalDentalCenters.com\/\">http:\/\/CrystalDentalCenters.com<\/a> or call <a href=\"tel:2137488448\"><strong>213.748.8448<\/strong><\/a> to schedule an appointment.
