Dental Crowns

The most commonplace dental crowns today are a metal lining covered with porcelain. Oftentimes, these types of crowns show a dark or gray line next to the gumline. Furthermore, these dental crowns are not as natural in appearance because they do not reflect light in the same manner as a natural tooth. The result is an opaque or flat-looking tooth.

A natural tooth surface, on the other hand, is translucent and allows the light to pass through and reflect back from beneath the surface of the tooth. The result is more aesthetically pleasing and healthy looking. Our talented team is proud to offer a natural looking alternative: all-ceramic, non-metal crowns! With these newer restorations you will notice the "life-like" appearance that mimics natural teeth and does not produce the black gumline so common with porcelain-metal crowns.
