DENTAL CROWNS

Crowns conceal or “cap” a tooth to repair normal function and appearance. Crowns may be made from all ceramic/porcelain materials (no metal), porcelain fused to gold, or all gold. Crowns are indicated for teeth that have fractured, have large failing restorations, that have had a root canal, or for teeth that are misshapen and/or discolored.

Protect And Enhance Your Teeth with strong crowns.

The restoration of a single central incisor is arguably the most difficult aesthetic challenge in dentistry. The philosophy of many dental professionals is to restore multiple teeth in this situation in order to achieve an “easier” match to adjacent teeth.

While implants replace teeth, they are artificial and behave differently from natural teeth. A quick recap will be helpful in explaining why. A dental implant is a tooth-root replacement, to which an implant crown is attached. The crown is the only part you see in the mouth.

The philosophy at the practice of Andrew Pacinelli DMD is to conservatively restore every patient while achieving the optimal functional and aesthetic result.
