Do you know the many reasons we may decide that a dental crown is right for you? Are you aware that there are some very obvious – and then some not so obvious – reasons for crown use? The good news is that we offer a wide variety of materials, including porcelain, zirconia, PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal), and metal to ensure we place a restoration that works for your needs. As for what those needs might entail, let’s learn more with your Corona dentist.

To Support A Prosthetic

In some instances, a dental crown’s job is to help support a prosthetic. This is generally the case when someone receives a dental bridge – or, a series of connected (artificial) teeth that replace one or up to three teeth next to each other. On each end of the device, a crown rests. Your Corona dentist bonds the crowns directly over your natural teeth (which sit on each side of your tooth loss opening) for placement.

To Complete A Prosthetic

Think about dental prosthetics – they include artificial teeth. These teeth are often dental crowns. For instance, are you considering dental implants? This often causes some confusion for patients. You see, when you choose implants, the device is made up of three main parts: The implant (a post within your gums), the abutment (a connector), and a dental crown (to replace the part of your tooth visible above your gumline).

To Fix Damage

You may be more familiar with this dental crown use. If you damage your tooth too severely for other restorative treatments, your Corona dentist may suggest a crown for a complete restoration.
