All-Ceramic Crowns - Palm Beach Smiles

"Beautiful teeth are one of the essentials in being a woman regardless of age. Their natural beauty strengthen my confidence and enhance my professional and personal life. They are a result of the fine work of a talented young dentist. " - Dr. Toni Fuss Kirkwood-Tucker |
Crowns are the restoration of choice when a filling will no longer suffice. Once a filling occupies 50% or more of the width of a tooth, a crown is indicated. Crowns surround the tooth bracing it together, whereas a large filling acts as a wedge, weakening the tooth. Teeth with large fillings are prone to breaking or splitting.
You may need a crown for the following reasons:
 | Your tooth has a large cavity. |
| Your tooth has had root canal therapy. |
| Your tooth has a large, weak filling. |
| To replace a failing or unacceptable existing crown. |
| For cosmetic improvement. |
Crowns can be made of several different materials each of which may be indicated for different situations:
| Gold |
| "Porcelain Fused to Metal" (A metal substructure with a porcelain covering) |
| All-Ceramic (Porcelain with no metal) - This is the latest in technology and becoming increasingly popular. |
