Who is a good candidate for porcelain crown placement?
LVI-trained cosmetic dentist Dr. Steven Cload places dental crowns for Alberta patients who need structural tooth repair. Most often, the teeth that require crowns are damaged teeth that may be susceptible to more severe damage without treatment. Men and women who have large areas of tooth decay, weakened teeth and other fundamental tooth problems can benefit from expertly-placed porcelain crowns. Patients with worn teeth due to grinding or neuromuscular misalignment may need crown placement, as well. Crowns may also be anchored to teeth in a fixed bridge, a dental restoration that replaces missing teeth. Crowns protect and strengthen teeth, and can improve smile appearance.
