Ellen - Actual Patient

A dental crown replaces the outside side of your tooth, preserving the health tissue inside, and providing strength. A crown is an alternative to removing a severely damaged tooth. As a metal-free practice we use beautiful porcelain crowns which are perfectly color matched to your natural teeth.

When a dental crown is needed

Careful consideration goes into using a crown rather than other restorations. The goal is to preserve your natural tooth whenever possible. Porcelain crowns are needed when:

• Teeth are too weak or brittle for a filling
• The area of damage or decay is too large for a filling or porcelain veneers
• Old fillings have caused structural damage to the tooth
• Fillings have failed
• After a root canal
• Necessary to correct the alignment of your bite

Dr. Green’s neuromuscular dentistry training allows him to create crowns which:

• Match up perfectly with your other teeth
• Work properly with the alignment of your jaw
• Fit precisely
• Are comfortable
• Do not cause further damage to your teeth
• Look, feel, and act just like your natural tooth
• Are very long lasting

Porcelain crowns

As a metal-free practice we use porcelain for our crowns. It is perfectly matched to the color and shape of your natural teeth, and porcelain reflects light in the same way as real tooth enamel, so your crown will look real and alive.

Porcelain crowns are strong, durable, and resistant to staining, so, you crown will be beautiful for years to come. If you have old, unsightly crowns or failing crowns, we can replace them with beautiful porcelain, restoring the original beauty of your smile.

Crowns can restore crumbling, weak, and painful teeth, allowing you to chew comfortably and naturally without losing the entire tooth. Since they replace the entire outer surface of your tooth, they are only used when other restorations are not a realistic option. Dr. Green will help you decide if a crown is the healthiest, most effective solution for your dental needs.
