There are many different situations that we recommend having a crown placed on a tooth.
- a tooth has had a root canal
- a tooth that has a very large filling that needs to be protected,
- a tooth that has craze lines or fracture lines and is at risk for breaking.
These are a few examples of when a crown is needed. Dr Gary Klein will assess your unique situation and recommend for you possible treatment choices, as well as what treatment would be ideal.
The porcelain materials that are available today give us many options to make teeth look very natural. We are able to block out dark colours from the natural tooth. As well, we can build translucent colours into the crown to match the other teeth. The strength of theses materials is impressive.
You no longer have to be concerned with the classic black line from the old porcelain to metal crowns. The challenge of bright looking crowns of yesteryear that mismatch the colour with the other teeth is no longer.
Come in for a consultation with Dr. Gary Klein to discuss your treatment options.
