Porcelain crowns are one of the strongest and most esthetically pleasing ways to repair a tooth that has been badly damaged.
If a tooth has been damaged by decay, trauma, or even a large silver or plastic filling that has over stayed its’ welcome, or the tooth has been treated with root canal therapy to stop pain and/or infection, then often the best way to restore the tooth back to strength is to place a crown.
A dental crown replaces missing or weak tooth structure with a high strength ceramic material developed specifically for dental purposes. They are very strong and they look fantastic.
