A new approach

Over time our teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks, discoloration and others. If you feel your smile isn’t what it once was, crowns can help you recover your smile. If your dentist notices that a tooth is decayed or seems weakened/cracked or missing a Crown or Bridge may be necessary to make sure that there are no additional problems with the tooth. In cases like this a filling, bonding or Veneer will not be sufficient.

A dental crown is a restoration that can be used for a number of purposes. One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged, decayed or root canal treated.

‍

The crown is custom-made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gum line, in order to restore the tooth to its original shape and size. Dental crowns can be made of gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal; porcelain crowns are popular because they match the natural color and appearance of your teeth. Dr. Malone will help you determine which type of dental crown is right for your smile.
