Mesa Arizona Porcelain Crowns

What Are Dental Crowns?

Crowns are a dental restoration procedure that fully cover over the portion of a tooth that lies above the gum line, when cemented into place. This is in comparison to fillings, which fill in or cover over just a portion of a tooth. Because dental crowns cover the entire visible surface area of a tooth, a dental crown basically becomes the tooth's new outer surface.

Crowns can be formed out of porcelain (a sort of dental ceramic), a type of metal (a gold or other metal), or a combination of both.

Why Get a Dental Crown?

Your Camelback cosmetic dentist in Mesa would recommend a dental crown for a number of different reasons. However, the reason will usually be one of the following three basic categories:

- To restore a tooth to its original shape
- To strengthen a tooth
- To improve the appearance of a tooth.

Porcelain dental crowns are one of the best ways to restore your teeth and create a perfect smile! The dentists at Camelback Family Dentistry exclusively use porcelain dental crowns because they look and function like your original teeth.
