Advancements in functionally aesthetic dentistry have paved the way for Dr. Bouvier to offer all-porcelain crowns - a radiant, natural-looking solution to restore badly decayed or structurally unsound teeth. In the past, tooth-colored crowns consisted of both porcelain and metal. This type of crown provided the strength, but not the translucency or vibrancy of an all-porcelain crown . Breakthroughs in bonding adhesives and stronger dental ceramic substructures that are below the porcelain now allow Dr. Bouvier to create crowns entirely out of porcelain.
Why is this important? Dental porcelain is translucent, like natural tooth enamel, which means that your crowned tooth will blend seamlessly with your existing smile. In just a few visits with Dr. Bouvier, she will design and place your porcelain crown to beautifully renew your smile.
What are the advantages of all-porcelain crowns?
Dr. Bouvier's all-porcelain crowns provide:
- A natural, life-like appearance
- Luminescent color layering
- Added strength and protection
- A metal-free restorative solution
- A safe, biocompatible alternative to renew your smile
Am I a candidate for an all-porcelain crown?
You may qualify for an all-porcelain crown if you:
- Want to replace a metal or porcelain and metal crown
- Need to restore a cracked, decayed, or broken tooth
- Require a crown following root canal therapy
