Why You Need a Porcelain or Lava™ Crown

Teeth have a natural tendency to be worn down due to everyday wear and tear. They can also show signs of decay and breakage when injuries occur. Fortunately, many of the problems associated with cracked and broken tooth structures can be restored through the use of crowns. Dental crowns are used to hold parts of a cracked tooth together. They are also used to protect a weak tooth from decay and can be used to restore a tooth that has been worn down or broken.

Over time, metal restorations can leave a dark ridge where the gums recede. 

With Lava zirconia, your restoration retains its original beauty for years.

While permanent crownscan be crafted out of stainless steel, gold or another alloy, resin, porcelain fused to metal or porcelain, all-porcelain or ceramic crowns are recognized as the option of choice. Porcelain crowns provide an excellent, more natural-looking color than any other type of crown on the market, and they are more appropriate for people that have metal allergies.
