A crown also called a cap, is a custom-made restoration that repairs at strengthens a tooth that has fractured, has a large cavity, and has an old filling that has failed or has had root canal therapy.
Fabricated of all-porcelain or porcelain fused to metal, for strength, endurance and appearance, a crown completely covers the tooth. Restoring and protecting Crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes, enhancing the appearance of a tooth that is discoloured or an unusual shape.
A bridge allows the dentist to replace lost teeth without the use of a denture or dental implant. Basically a false tooth is held in place by being attached to a tooth next door.
All Porcelain Crown is a crown that would not have a metal substructure under it. The reasons for wanting to eliminate the metal are primarily to get rid of the dark line at the very edge of the crown and to let more light pass through the porcelain to look more lifelike. They are the closest things to the ideal enamel replacement that modern dentistry has yet invented.
Procera ® Crowns come in various materials such as alumina and zirconia. Procera Crowns are customized but still industrially produced, ensuring predictable results. With Procera Crowns, you also get the benefit of translucency, giving the restoration a natural appearance.
