Crowns Gallery

Crowns need to be placed on teeth where there is too much tooth structure lost to restore the tooth with a porcelain veneer or when an existing crown needs to be replaced. Crowns are also needed when missing teeth are replaced with fixed bridgework. Crowns can be porcelain, porcelain fused to gold, and all gold. All gold are the most acceptable to the soft tissue and the kindest to the opposing tooth because they are the closest to the hardness of the natural tooth. Porcelain and porcelain fused to gold are considered to be more esthetic. Costs and fabrication times are similar for all three types. |
