Years ago, trauma to your permanent teeth meant restorations with silver. Until the introduction of natural looking porcelain, many formerly beautiful smiles were marred by the look of this material. Thankfully, today’s advancements in dental technology and treatment means natural looking restorations for chipped or broken teeth with porcelain crowns.
If you have broken or cracked teeth, tooth decay, or an injured tooth you’ve been told might not be salvageable, consider the features and benefits of a porcelain crown:
- Porcelain bonds with the original tooth
- Porcelain crowns look completely natural
- Porcelain is individually tinted to match coloration of the surrounding teeth
- Porcelain crowns make the tooth stronger to provide full functionality and beauty
Bonding with the original tooth is an extremely important feature, because it means no worries about the crown coming loose and causing pain. You can continue to enjoy all the foods you love and all the fun you want to have, without living with the pain and stigma of broken teeth. Your porcelain crown will be extremely natural looking, and strong enough to chew your favorite foods like corn on the cob or caramel apples.
