A quick solution to your dental problems 

Did you know that the average American loses approximately 12 adult teeth by 50? This statistic is unfortunate and frightening, but it is also preventable. 

Taking care of your teeth and visiting the dentist regularly is crucial to keeping your teeth healthy. But sometimes, even with all the precautions you can take, it is inevitable that some problems will arise. Preserving your smile for the rest of your life is essential. 

These problems can mostly be quickly fixed with a dental crown.

Why are crowns your best choice? 

There are many things a dental crown can do for you. It can seal a tooth after a root canal, cover cosmetic defects, repair decay, prevent the need for tooth extraction by preserving the structure, or combine with other dental restorations to replace a missing tooth. It is a very versatile procedure.

Dental crowns are typically used early in a tooth's life to help prevent cracks and fractures over time. This prolongs the life of the tooth so that implants or root canals do not have to be placed later on. 

If you already have tooth damage, a crown can still help. Our dental Innovations Mesa professionals use crowns and restorative dentistry technologies such as dental inlays and onlays, full dental implants, bridges, or veneers to ensure that your smile is beautiful, stable, and permanent. 

Different types of dental crown available for you 

As you already know, crowns can relieve dental pain, restore the health and functionality of a tooth and protect it from future damage, so they must be strong enough to withstand the same force as natural teeth. 

When your dentist suggests you need a dental crown, a question may come to mind: What type of dental crown is best for me? 

You need to know the materials you can get your dental crowns made of. This will help you find an option that fits your needs and treatment priorities, from the durability and longevity of the crown to its appearance.

The available materials that you can currently find are: 

Metal crowns

Let's start with the most durable material. Metal crowns are durable and will last longer than any other material available. These crowns are excellent for reinforcing dental bridges. Typically, the metals used will be gold, platinum, or a metal alloy usually containing nickel. 

Ceramic or porcelain crowns 

A fantastic option for people with metal allergies is a ceramic or porcelain crown. They contain no metal and are the most realistic option. Ceramic or porcelain can be shaded to match your natural teeth perfectly. Therefore, ceramic or porcelain crowns can be used in the front or back of the mouth. 

Porcelain fused to metal crowns 

A great alternative to both metal and porcelain is a combination of both. By selecting porcelain fused to a metal crown, you can achieve the strength and durability of a metal crown with the appearance and aesthetics of a porcelain crown. 

Resin crowns

One of the least expensive alternatives is a resin crown. Like porcelain or ceramic, these crowns can be colored to match the color of your natural teeth.
