How dental crowns from your dentist in Clifton, NJ, can repair your smile
Damaged teeth can affect the way your smile looks, and the way your smile functions. Damaged teeth are embarrassing, and may keep you from smiling. Damaged teeth can also be painful, and may keep you from eating. The good news is, dental crowns can restore your damaged teeth and give you back your smile. Your dentist, Dr. Toan K. Bui, at Transcendental, LLC in Clifton, NJ, offers dental crowns to get you smiling again.
When you think of dental crowns, do you think of old, yellowed dental crowns that don’t match your tooth color? If so, it’s time to rethink dental crowns! Today’s dental crowns can be color-matched to blend with your teeth, creating a harmonious, beautiful smile.
Full porcelain crowns are extremely popular, and for good reason. Porcelain reflects light and looks just like tooth enamel. When you choose a porcelain crown, it will be virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Porcelain is also stain-resistant, which means your porcelain crown will stay bright and beautiful for years, even if you smoke or drink coffee.
Porcelain can also be fused to a metal framework. These crowns are known as PFM crowns and they combine the increased strength of metal with the beauty and natural look of porcelain. PFM crowns don’t have the light-reflective quality of full porcelain, so PFM crowns are a popular choice for posterior teeth.
Dental crowns restore your damaged teeth by covering the entire surface of your teeth above the gumline. When you bite down on a crown, the biting stress is spread evenly across your tooth surface, keeping your tooth from breaking.
In contrast, dental fillings aren’t as protective, and they can actually weaken your teeth by dividing your teeth into sections. Large metal fillings also don’t provide the cosmetic benefits of dental crowns.
If you need to restore your damaged teeth, you need to consider dental crowns. They are the go-to solution to repairing and restoring your smile.
