Why Crowns?
As we get a little older, our teeth begin to change and are prone to decay. There are many possible reasons for this change in your smile. These reasons can include bruxism(teeth grinding), general decay, cracked fillings, root canals, and many others. If your tooth is beyond repair with a filling material, we may recommend that the best viable option to save the tooth is a full crown. The reasons for this type of restoration in a badly damaged tooth are durability, cosmetic appearance, and overall support of the chewing function.
One Appointment
Your time is precious. Thats why we've invested our time and talents into making one appointment crowns a reality for all patients. Thanks to the wonders of Computer Aided Design Technology, patients can now have crowns which are truly beautiful, with half the time and trouble as previously required. (See the Cerec section under services). Its like giving you back your enamel! Beauty, Form and Function, all in one appointment.
What is it?
Often referred to as a "cap", a crown is a protective restoration that encapsulates the entire tooth. This allows the patient to chew on the tooth with confidence when the tooth has broken down as discussed above. The vast majority of crowns made at Walker Dentistry are made of an ultra strong, durable ceramic substance which is harder than your natural enamel. Crowns made of this material not only return your teeth to full chewing capacity, but also restore them to their natural beauty.
