DENTAL CROWNS

Crowns conceal or “cap” a tooth to repair normal function and appearance. Crowns may be made from all ceramic/porcelain materials (no metal), porcelain fused to gold, or all gold. Crowns are indicated for teeth that have fractured, have large failing restorations, that have had a root canal, or for teeth that are misshapen and/or discolored.

Protect And Enhance Your Teeth with strong crowns.

The restoration of multiple anterior teeth with crowns is arguably one of the most complex aesthetic challenges in dentistry. The philosophy of many dental professionals is to treat several teeth simultaneously in order to achieve a more harmonious and predictable match in shade, morphology, and alignment.

While crowns rehabilitate and protect teeth, they are artificial restorations and therefore behave differently from natural dentition. To clarify: a crown is a full-coverage prosthetic restoration that encapsulates the prepared tooth, with the visible portion designed to replicate the appearance and function of a natural tooth within the smile.

The philosophy at the practice of Andrew Pacinelli DMD is to conservatively restore every patient while achieving the optimal functional and aesthetic result.
