When a tooth is beyond repair, a crown may be recommended. Crowns are designed to match the natural function of the original tooth. With proper care, they can last for years without the need for replacement.
- Removing injured tooth structure, replacing with porcelain.
- Fits the tooth like a slip cover.
- Protect the remaining tooth structure.
- Achieve a beautiful result.
- Crowns may also be used like veneers for purely cosmetic reasons, to improve the overall look of the mouth, smile, and teeth.
- Older styles of crowns have metal cores for strength, which causes the finish line to show a dark gray shadow or line. Dr. McKay's crown work does not show the gray finish line, yielding a much more natural and healthy look to not only the tooth, but the gums are also healthier.
