If your tooth is damaged or weakened, whether it has cracks, chips, or extensive cavities, you may need a dental crown. But this common procedure is nothing to fear. On the contrary, a dental crown can give you peace of mind while eliminating tooth pain and easing anxieties about your appearance. A crown helps to preserve your remaining natural tooth, while restoring that tooth to full functionality.
At Dentist on Avenue T, we provide high-quality crowns designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, ensuring both beauty and durability. Throughout the process, we make sure you’re taken care of with regular communication, a gentle and conservative approach to treatment, and compassionate service.
Zirconia crowns are among the most popular options for patients who need strength and longevity. Made from durable zirconium dioxide, these crowns are highly resistant to chipping, cracking, and wear. They are especially well-suited for back teeth, where chewing forces are strongest, but can also be installed on the anterior (front) teeth.
One of the biggest advantages of zirconia crowns is their biocompatibility, which means they are safe and unlikely to cause irritation. They are milled with precision to fit comfortably and securely, and also shaded to match the natural color of your teeth. Patients who grind their teeth or require a long-lasting solution often benefit most from zirconia restorations.
For patients seeking the highest level of aesthetics, Emax crowns are an excellent choice. Crafted from lithium disilicate ceramic, Emax crowns are known for their lifelike translucency, which closely mimics natural enamel. These crowns are ideal for restoring front teeth or any area where appearance is a top priority.
Emax crowns are thinner than other types of crowns. But despite their delicate appearance, they are strong and durable enough to handle daily use. Their ability to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth makes them a top choice for patients who want a crown that is virtually indistinguishable from their natural smile.
Dental crowns are used in a variety of situations, including:
By choosing the right material, whether zirconia for maximum strength or Emax for superior aesthetics, we can design a crown that meets your specific needs.
