WHAT ARE PORCELAIN CROWNS?
Recent advancements in the strength and aesthetics of porcelain crowns have positioned them as the top choice for restoring damaged teeth to their original glory. A tooth damaged by root canal, grinding, decay, or fracture is susceptible to breaking under the stress of daily use. A prescribed porcelain crown from Dr. Liu at Spring Smiles strengthens your tooth by providing comprehensive 360-degree coverage.
When you opt for a crown, you'll witness noticeable improvements in your tooth's condition by:
-
Strengthening heavily-restored teeth to prevent future fractures
-
Restoring lost tooth structure from heavy grinding
-
Enhancing tooth aesthetics
-
Alleviating pain resulting from damage or fractures
