Porcelain Metal Free Crowns, A Practical Solution for Repairing Damaged Teeth

Try as you may to take good care of your teeth, there may come a time when an accident happens, leaving you to deal with a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth. Fortunately, your Burlington, Ontario, team of dentists offers a practical solution for repairing damaged teeth in the form of dental crowns. Crowns are custom-made caps that fit snugly over cracked, broken or severely decayed teeth to keep them from shattering. Our dentists can restore their look, structure, and function by crowning damaged teeth. At Dentistry at LaSalle, we offer metal-free crowns for repairing damaged teeth.

About Metal-Free Crowns 

Dental crowns can be made of different types of material, such as gold, resin, ceramic, or porcelain, or a combination of these. Metal-free crowns contain no metal parts at all and may consist purely of composite resin, porcelain, or variations of ceramic material. Porcelain crowns are often preferred due to their resilience, longevity, and natural-looking tooth-coloured appearance. 

If you’re repairing visible teeth and want your crowns to blend in with your smile, then porcelain crowns for teeth are a good choice. Porcelain crowns are aesthetically pleasing, making them perfect for repairing front teeth that are highly visible when you smile. They can also be used for your molars or anywhere in your mouth where needed, as they pose no risk to your gums or teeth. 

Uses of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns can be used for both restorative and cosmetic purposes. They help preserve your smile by: 

• Fortifying weak or worn teeth to keep them from crumbling 
• Repairing damaged teeth to restore their usefulness
• Forming a protective barrier around teeth to seal out decay and oral infections
• Strengthening decayed teeth that have undergone root canal therapy
• Concealing tooth flaws, damage, and stains to restore your tooth’s appearance
• Acting as replacement teeth for implant treatment
