WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?
Dental Crowns may be placed for several reasons when a tooth has been broken or damaged a great deal by decay. As a result, a filling can’t replace enough of the tooth or make the tooth strong enough. The crown then helps hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
Dental Crowns can also be used to improve appearance as well for helping cover misshapen or badly discolored teeth. Dental Crowns are made from a variety of different materials, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM Crowns) & more recently the advent of Metal-Free Zirconia Crowns.
PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL (PFM) CROWN
These are actually metallic crowns underneath which are coated with a tooth-colored porcelain, hence called Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) Crowns. We at Obaid Dental have been pioneers in high quality work in crown fabrication since a very long time and we urge you to use our tremendous experience to deliver you some of the outstanding work synonymous to our practice.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns provide for a strong, durable and esthetic treatment option. PFM crowns can be preferred to your back teeth as they may be more durable for posterior teeth.
BRIDGES
With the advent of Implants, the treatment of choice in replacement for missing teeth, making of dental bridges (which can be used to replace missing teeth) by using the support of adjacent teeth, has slid down the order of choice as a less preferable treatment option for replacing missing teeth, there are still situations where we might be compelled to make bridges as a treatment option, you would need to discuss with our team to evaluate the need
METAL-FREE ZIRCONIA BASED CROWNS
All-ceramic crowns today are made either in zirconia, or aluminous materials. They provide you as the patient a perfect strategy for a cosmetic smile makeover eliminating the need for the supportive metal core, the anesthetic all-ceramic crown can be used for the front cosmetic makeover of your teeth to create the perfectly straight sparking white Hollywood smile dream that you may have always wanted.
