Porcelain Crowns Dentistry
Cracks, chips, large cavities – whether it happens because of sudden injury or severe decay, your teeth can suffer all sorts of damage over years. While common solutions like fillings and cosmetic bonding can fix small instances of these issues, more severe cases might require a bigger solution to restore full form and functionality to your smile. That’s where crowns come in! At Mauck and Ricci, DDS, our dedicated doctors and staff can provide smiles of all shapes and sizes with custom-made crowns that can fully rejuvenate the health and appearance of any damaged, decayed, or misshapen teeth. Better yet, we use beautiful, natural-looking dental porcelain to construct our crowns, meaning that your new tooth will blend seamlessly into the rest of your smile – no one will even be able to tell you had any dental work done! Porcelain crowns are just one of the various restorative dentistry services we offer to patients from the greater Denver area and beyond at our Aurora, CO office.
What is a dental crown?
When a tooth suffers a serious injury like a crack or fracture, a crown can be used to essentially “cap” the area, protecting it from further damage or infection and restoring any structure it lost due to its former condition. Patients who receive crowns are able to chew and speak again without experiencing any discomfort or pain!
Crowns can provide an excellent solution to all sorts of dental problems, including:
- Extensive decay
- Broken teeth
- Gaps
- Crowding
- Deep staining
- Chips or cracks
While crowns can be constructed from various kinds of materials, Dr. Mauck and Dr. Ricci strongly prefer to use dental porcelain, which combines the cornerstones of restorative and cosmetic dentistry by producing a crown that is both incredibly strong as well as beautiful, allowing you to retain a whole, healthy smile without sacrificing your self-image in the process.
