Restore Your Gorgeous Natural Smile with Dental Crowns

People around the world love having a beautiful smile, and if you live in Kirkland, Washington, you know the value of a smile that makes you confident. If you have one or more damaged teeth, you should address this issue immediately and consider dental crowns at Kingsgate Dental. 

Different Types of Dental Crowns 

Traditionally, dental crowns were made of metal. In some cases, the crowns were made with a metal base and a porcelain cover. However, the best way to place dental crowns is by using ceramic or all-porcelain restorations. 

With porcelain, your dentist can install crowns that look identical to your natural teeth. Porcelain will have the same color as your natural teeth because the crowns are customized for each individual. 

How Dental Crowns Can Restore Your Smile 

Dental crowns can fix many issues that affect your smile and the health of your teeth, including:

• Fixing discolored teeth
• Restoring oral health and natural function of broken or decayed teeth
• Fixing poorly-shaped teeth
• Saving an extensively decayed or badly infected tooth after root canal therapy

When a tooth is damaged, it can’t be adequately restored with dental inlays, fillings, or partial crowns (dental onlays). Instead, a damaged tooth can be capped with a dental crown.

The Benefits of Ceramic and Porcelain Dental Crowns

Dental crowns help restore your smile. However, there are additional benefits of choosing porcelain and ceramic dental crowns, including the following:

• Affordable
• Look natural and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth
• Last for years with proper care
• Durable and strong
• Ideal solution for people with metal sensitivities or metal allergies
• Don’t irritate, inflame, or damage the surrounding tissues
• When viewed through X-rays, porcelain and ceramic crowns are transparent, so the dentist can detect infections or hidden decay when they examine your teeth
