Transform Your Front Teeth with Modern Dental Crowns

Any number of things can cause a person to lose confidence in their smile. The first thing people notice when you smile is your front teeth, so having healthy-looking, beautiful front teeth is essential. If your front teeth are unattractive, it can affect how you interact with people and have a profound impact on your life. Our dentists at Dental Care of Boca Raton can help restore the natural beauty of your smile with dental crowns. 

About Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that are designed to cover a tooth completely. While crowns are often used to improve how a smile looks, crowns can also help with tooth functionality. For example, a porcelain crown is often used to cover a weakened tooth to strengthen it. 

Materials Used to Make Dental Crowns

There are many different types of dental crowns, and the one you need will largely depend on the aesthetic result you want, your budget, and the health of your gums and teeth. Ceramic porcelain crowns are the most popular option for front teeth because they look almost exactly like your natural teeth. Porcelain is also a great choice for front teeth because this material is stain-resistant. Equally important, porcelain is a good solution for people with metal allergies. 

Other materials used for dental crowns can include: 

• Metal: These crowns are durable and strong, and they’re made with platinum, gold, or other metals. Metal crowns are most often used for molars and other posterior teeth. 
• Porcelain fused to metal: Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns combine porcelain and metal for strength and aesthetics.
• Resin: Resin crowns are made from a composite material and are custom-designed to match the color of your natural teeth. Although they provide an aesthetically pleasing solution, they are typically used as temporary restorations due to their lower durability.
• Stainless steel: Stainless steel crowns combine stainless steel with other metals, like chrome and nickel. They require only one visit to the dentist and are cost-effective. 

Dental Issues Crowns Can Address

Often, a dental crown covers a weakened tooth after a root canal or a tooth that has decay. However, dental crowns can correct or camouflage many cosmetic dental issues. For example, crowns can restore a tooth’s size and shape. They can also provide needed support for dentures or dental bridges. Dental crowns can also cover discolored, chipped, cracked, misshapen, or crooked front teeth.

A Long-Lasting Solution for Front Teeth

Porcelain crowns can improve your smile for many years. Their hardness is similar to that of your natural dental enamel. With excellent oral care, porcelain crowns can last up to 15 or even 20 years.
