Crowns are made from different types of material. Early in dentistry, they were made from metals and stainless steel. Here at Elite Smiles, we use porcelain crowns. The reason that we recommend porcelain is because of their strength and also cosmetic appeal. Porcelain provides a better color match than other materials. They are also better for those who have metal allergies.
Crowns last between five to fifteen years, depending on your oral health habits and the amount of wear and tear they receive. After we place your dental crown, you’ll want to stay away from chewing ice and other hard materials, grinding your teeth, biting your fingernails, and opening packages with your teeth. This will help your crown last as long as possible.
One of the most common procedures here at Elite Smiles is placing a crown. Dr. Dias will place crowns to help out with many different dental health problems. Some of those include:
