Dental Crowns
Durable, Well-Fitted
& Natural Looking Crowns
With over 25 years of experience in dentistry, plus Dr. Jivraj's advanced specialty training in tooth restoration, we will provide you with a crown that is well-fitted and long-lasting. This includes getting the crown that is right for you, and making sure it aligns with your natural bite. Various types of crowns can be used, including all-metal and all-porcelain crowns.
All-porcelain crowns
Traditional porcelain crowns are made with porcelain covering a metal shell. The metal provides strength and support for the porcelain which gives it a natural appearance. All-porcelain, also called "all-ceramic" crowns, use a ceramic shell instead of a metal shell to support the porcelain.
With advances in technology, these all-porcelain crowns can be used in a variety of situations. Dr. Jivraj will complete a thorough examination and listen to your wishes to determine which type of crown is best suited for you.
When would I need a crown?
A crown, or cap, is a custom-made dental restoration which protects the underlying tooth. You may need a crown because of:
- Extensive tooth decay
- Large metal or tooth-colored fillings, that weaken the remaining tooth
- Broken or cracked teeth
- A tooth that has had root canal therapy
- A misaligned or misshaped tooth
- Teeth that have large fillings that are breaking down and cannot be refilled
