Crowns and bridgework are very reliable solutions for major dental problems caused by accidents, diseases, or wear and tear. Major
problems can usually be corrected using these
techniques. Material used in these repairs is
either high-grade porcelain, or porcelain
bonded to gold. A higher strength of the
porcelain and gold materials is recommended to
treat the most serious of dental problems.
Where accidental damage has occurred,
resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have
broken away through excessive wear, or as the
result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or
bridges can be used as a long-term solution.
people have unexplained pain from filled back
teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks
in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing
crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and
allows a return of full dental function for
these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings
can both weaken the teeth and cause
"appearance" problems due to staining or
chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are
suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are
not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns
can prevent breakage.
