We understand and appreciate your concern. Certainly, if you were to cover up a tooth with an airtight device and leave it for a while, bacteria would be trapped inside! However, since you’re not the one placing your dental crown but are instead coming in for restorative care from a professional dental care team, you can expect a very detailed, accurate procedure. Part of that treatment, of course, is the careful preparation of your tooth to ensure it is completely clean, free of bacteria, and ready for a crown.
Yes! We know, this sounds amazing! We know as well, that beyond the strength of a metal crown, you may assume any type of ceramic is likely quite fragile. The truth is, though, that porcelain crowns are fully capable of withstanding daily use on front teeth. As for load bearing teeth, we offer porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, which offer the esthetic finish you want, in addition to the strength you need. See us soon to learn more!
Yes, you may. We know that you may assume that when you are dealing with significant esthetic concerns, you’re going to need porcelain veneers. However, sometimes, veneers aren’t going to give you the improvement you’re hoping to achieve. Maybe your tooth is too small in appearance, perhaps the esthetic damage is just too severe for veneers, etc. Rely on the beauty of a dental crown and you’ll be in good shape!
