A dental crown is often used to restore a tooth that suffered from a large cavity, significant dental fracture, or required treatment with a root canal. It is designed to completely replicate the original tooth enamel layer of the previously compromised tooth.
Most dental crowns are made from dental porcelain, gold, or a special alloy of base metals. The specific material that Dr. Suela Veizaj advocates for your dental crown will be based on a few different factors.
To restore a tooth that is visible in your smile Dr. Suela Veizaj might recommend a porcelain dental crown. This special material can be shaded to look like the natural tooth enamel of your surrounding teeth.
If a premolar is visible at the edge of your smile or needs additional reinforcement, Dr. Suela Veizaj might recommend a porcelain dental crown that is fused with a metal core. This will give the tooth the added integrity to bite, chew, and grind tough foods. Gold and metallic alloy crowns are known for their durability. This might make them a good choice for restoring one of the molars in the back of your mouth.
