What is a Crown?
Crowns cover the tooth entirely with gold or porcelain material.
Why should I get a crown?
Due to decay or fractures some teeth need crowns to restore function
and aesthetics in situations where fillings will no longer work.
• Gold
Recommended for posterior teeth where aesthetic concerns are minimal
- solid gold is highly durable and will not fracture..
• PFM
Used in situations where aesthetics are a concern - has a gold substructure
with porcelain fused to the gold.
• PJC
Solid porcelain crown - for select situations for optimal aesthetics.
