Are cosmetic dental crowns available?
Teeth are often restored with fillings of silver or composite plastics. These materials can often accomplish the aim of replacing the part of the tooth that has been lost. However, there comes a time where the damage to the tooth has destroyed too much structure to hold a filling. The crown is the dental restoration that can reinforce and re-establish the entire top of a tooth and can also be part of the attachment of a fixed bridge for the replacement of teeth. The tooth is strengthened because it is encased with a casting of metal or ceramic that will splint the tooth. A crown can improve your appearance by the use of modern ceramic processes that produce translucency and color that is natural.
