Porcelain Crowns

Sherwood Dental Care

When you have a tooth that has been damaged on the surface or has suffered decay, a porcelain crown can be used. It also works well to restore and protect a tooth that is broken, has an old filling, or on a tooth that has an increased potential for fracture.

This type of crown is an excellent solution for a front tooth that is visible. It is made of a tooth-colored porcelain and simply slips over your natural tooth.

In the past, a metal foundation was required whenever porcelain was used on a crown so that it would be strong enough for regular use. With the recent advances in bonding technology, a dental crown can be made out of all porcelain.
