YOUR INVITATION TO SMILE
As time goes on, teeth become weaker. This can happen with wear and tear. Where teeth are weak, from large fillings, cracks, or after previous root canal treatment, crowns may be the answer. These cover the entire tooth and protect the tooth from bite forces. They may be made of metal or porcelain, or a combination.

Crowns May Be the Answer
to Weaker Teeth
As we age, our teeth become weaker.
Wear and tear is found in a number of ways. Cracks develop in the crystals of teeth. Over time, these cracks enlarge, and join up with other cracks. A piece of tooth can unexpectedly break off.
A tooth undergoing a crown procedure is trimmed so as to provide space for the crown to fit into the bite. Usually a temporary crown is made to be worn while the final crown is made in a laboratory.
Once fitted, the crown may be expected to provide many years of useful service.
