Porcelain Tooth Crown Restorations

dental crowns Birmingham MI dentist Royal Oak and FerndaleDental crowns are caps that are designed to resemble your natural teeth. When you have particularly damaged teeth, dental crowns are placed over the teeth. Dental crowns can also be used for cosmetic reasons, improving the appearance, shape or alignment of teeth.

At Gustafson and Morningstar in Royal Oak, we take a conservative approach and tend toward minimally invasive dentistry. This means, wherever appropriate, we will use onlays and inlays instead of crowns. Onlays and inlays allow us to preserve more of the tooth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

There are different types of crowns. Ceramic and porcelain crowns are the ones that can give your teeth a natural look, but they are not the only material that can be used. Metal alloys, gold, and even acrylic can be used to create a tooth crown. Here are some of the benefits dental crowns have to offer:

  • Variety of materials | There are a wide array of materials that can be used to create a crown, including porcelain, ceramics, stainless steel, metals (including gold), and resins.
  • Support ­| Tooth crowns are a great way to support a tooth that has been badly damaged due to decay.
  • Protection | If you have a tooth with a severe crack or chip, crowns can help protect that tooth and prevent its loss.
  • Appearance | Porcelain crowns can improve the look of your teeth, especially if they are misshapen or discolored.

My family and I have been patients at Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry for decades and we have been very pleased with their services. They are always up to date on the Best Dental practices and have a very clean office. Recently, my front tooth chipped and Dr Gustafson replaced it with a new crown. Now, when I smile, I don’t look like a pumpkin.
I am very pleased with my new tooth and smile.
