Porcelain Crowns
Have you ever seen crowns that have a dark line at the gumline or do not look natural but like “chicklets”?
To have enough strength to withstand the forces of biting, crowns were built on a metal core. It is this dark metal under the porcelain that causes the dark line at the gumline.
Advances in bonding, combined with stronger porcelain materials, makes it possible to fabricate all-porcelain crowns. By using metal-free crowns, the dark line at the gum line is eliminated. And, since all-porcelain crowns maintain maximum translucency, they are almost impossible to distinguish from your natural teeth.
Why do I need a crown?
- Your tooth has a large cavity
- Your tooth has a large fracture
- Your tooth needs root canal therapy
- Your tooth has an existing crown or a large filling that is failing
- You’d like to improve the appearance of your tooth
All-porcelain crowns are the state-of-the-art in dentistry today. They are natural in appearance and being metal-free, they eliminate the black line at the gum.
