How dental crowns from your dentists in Cedar Rapids, Iowa can improve your smile.
If your smile is worn-down, damaged, and unattractive, you need to discover the benefits of dental crowns. Dental crowns can help your smile in many ways. They can strengthen your smile and restore full chewing function, but that’s not all. Dental crowns can also dramatically improve the beauty of your smile. Dr. Amy Stodola and Dr. Renee Maikon at Family SmileCare Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa offer a wide range of dental services, including dental crowns to improve your smile.
Dental crowns strengthen your smile by covering the entire visible surfaces of each tooth, above the gumline. This overall protection keeps your tooth from breaking when you bite down or chew. They can be helpful if you have decay that is too big to be restored with a dental filling.
Increased strength is only one way dental crowns help your smile. They can also improve the appearance of your smile. That’s because one of the most frequently used crown materials is porcelain, which has some unique qualities. Porcelain reflects light, and it also closely resembles natural tooth enamel. Porcelain is stain-resistant too. When you choose porcelain for your crown, you can be certain your crown will look natural and stay beautiful for years to come.
Full porcelain crowns are an excellent choice for front teeth and teeth that are visible when you smile. For back teeth, you may need more strength for chewing. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are an excellent choice for back teeth because they have a strong metal foundation for strength, with porcelain fused to the metal to provide beauty. These crowns are known as PFM crowns.
Your dentist can help you make the right choice of dental crown material, depending on the look you want, and the area of your smile.
