Because porcelain
crowns cover your entire tooth, they often provide
good solutions for severe problems i.e. a bad
fracture, a large filling, a tooth that has had root
canal treatment, and in situations where one or
several teeth are missing.
When teeth cannot be
saved, dental implants and bridges are a great
option to a wide range of problems.
Thery are durable and
strong, so crowns and laminates (or porcelain
inlays) is that more tooth structure is removed.
This is required to allow adequate space for the
restorative material to have appropiate strength,
esthetics, and healthy gum contour.
The types of crowns
that are commonly used are:
Porcelain fused to metal - This type of crown is
often used on posterior teeth because of the
strength that semi-precious metal can provide during
chewing. The veneer or facing of the tooth consists
of porcelain that gives the restoration a natural
looking quality.
Porcelain jacket crown
- This is a very thin metal shell covered by layers
of porcelain to resemble the shading and
translucency of a natural tooth. This restoration is
often recommended for anterior teeth.

crowns require, more lab work and special procedures
for application. These crowns are more translucent
and more natural appearing than normal
Porcelain/Metal crowns.
We recently were able
to attract one of the finest dental laboratories in
Mexico City to move to Los Cabos to work exclusively
for us. They make a perfectly natural looking
finished tooth. You will have a beautiful new smile
with our crowns. |
