What Crowns Can Do for You

Dental Crown SmileHow dental crowns from your dentist in Independence, MO, can rebuild your smile

Did you know dental crowns can do a lot for you and your smile? It’s true! Dental crowns can rebuild and restore your smile, giving you back your chewing ability and enjoyment of food. Dental crowns can also give you a beautiful smile you will be proud to show off. Dr. Richard Mark in Independence, MO, offers dental crowns and other restorative and cosmetic services to give you a smile you will love.

So, what can dental crowns do for you?

Consider that dental crowns provide:

  • Unmatched strength, because a crown covers the entire visible surface of your tooth above the gumline, protecting the tooth like a suit-of-armor
  • Protection from breaking, because a crown evenly spreads chewing and biting stress across the entire surface of your tooth, protecting the tooth from fracture
  • Natural beauty, because many dental crowns are made of porcelain, a light-reflective material that closely mimics tooth enamel

If you have a smile full of metal because of large, crumbly old metal fillings, you can have a metal-free, naturally beautiful smile with porcelain crowns.

Types of Dental Crowns

You can choose full porcelain for your crowns, which is the most natural-looking, beautiful crown material because of its light-reflective quality.

You can also choose porcelain which has been fused to a metal underlay, called a PFM crown. PFM crowns lose the light-reflective quality of porcelain because of the metal underlay, so PFM crowns are an excellent choice for your back teeth.

Full gold crowns are also an option that provides strength, but lacks the cosmetic, natural-looking appeal of other crown materials, so these crowns are also typically placed on back teeth.

You deserve to discover what dental crowns can do for you and your smile. Your smile is one of your most important assets and you want a great smile! Now, you can have it with dental crowns.
