Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain or ceramic crowns combine the finest in aesthetics with remarkable strength. These restorations have evolved into the current zirconium based porcelains. Eliminating the metal substructure results in a life-like junction at the gum-line; no “dark” gums with these metal-free restorations.They are the preferred choice for covering moderately darkened and stained teeth to give a lighter, more youthful look.


Our ceramic technicians can recreate the subtle life-like colors, anatomy, surface textures and translucency to either mimic nature or enhance it. They can rebuild the damaged tooth.

 

Presently our best all-ceramic crowns are made of 3M’s LavaTM Zirconia based porcelain. This material has exceptional strengths and beautiful aesthetics making for a fantastic restorative choice.

 

Our Smile Gallery shows other examples of these restorations.

Metal based crowns block light and cast a dark shadow deep into the gums. They look dark purple!

Look how much lighter her gums are. The porcelain allows light to brighten the gums to a healthy light pink!
