Dental Crowns: An Overview

Whenever possible, Dr. Annissa Michael can achieve the same results, in a more conservative manner that utilizes less drilling and, as a result, less trauma to the tooth using a custom designed porcelain restoration.

Dental Crowns vs. Porcelain

Compare a full crown above to more conservative custom designed porcelain restorations below. Both options are very aesthetic. However, the more conservative option below ensures you can maintain as much healthy tooth structure as possible, only replacing what is missing or damaged.

(More conservative custom designed porcelain restorations conserve healthy tooth structure.)

When Is a Porcelain Restoration Needed?

A custom designed porcelain restoration may be recommended for the following reasons:

• A large cavity in a tooth
• Replacement of old fillings that have failed over many years
• Broken cusps
• Aesthetic upgrade when replacing old mercury fillings
• Cracked tooth
• High aesthetic requirements
• Improved strength and longevity

During your appointment, Dr. Annissa can assess the condition of the teeth and determine the best solution for your smile. The goal is to address your dental concerns as conservatively and effectively as possible.
