The Benefits Of Dental Crowns

How dental crowns from your dentist in Newmarket, ON, can help your teeth and your smile.

How much do you know about dental crowns? Do you know that dental crowns strengthen your teeth, AND they also make your teeth and your smile more beautiful? The truth is, dental crowns are the modern way to protect and enhance your smile. Dr. Richard Lee-Shanok of Newmarket Dentistry in Newmarket, ON, offers a full complement of dental services, including dental crowns to help your teeth and your smile.

One of the great benefits of dental crowns is that they protect your entire tooth from breaking. They do this by covering the entire visible surfaces of your tooth, above the gumline. When you bite down on a crown, the biting stress and pressure is spread across the entire surface of your tooth, which helps prevent the tooth from breaking.

Dental crowns have the added benefit of enhancing the beauty of your smile. That’s because one of the most widely-used dental crown materials is porcelain, which has a lot of wonderful benefits. Porcelain reflects light, just like natural tooth enamel, so it looks just like your natural teeth. It’s also stain-resistant, so a porcelain crown will stay sparkling and beautiful for years.

At Newmarket Dentistry, you can choose a full porcelain crown, which is the most aesthetically beautiful crown. Full porcelain crowns are an excellent choice for front teeth and teeth that are visible when you smile.

If you need a little more strength for chewing, your back teeth can benefit from a porcelain-fused-to-metal or PFM crown. All the beauty of porcelain is combined with a strong metal framework.
