Porcelain crowns for your teeth look natural and function just like your own teeth. A porcelain crown costs a little more than an acrylic crown, but it also lasts a lot longer. How long do porcelain crowns last? Up to 30 years, when fitted properly by a Yonkers dentists open on Sunday and Saturday. Of course, you must take care of them properly to get the most wear out of them.
Dental crowns are synthetic caps placed on your teeth to protect them. Your dentist at dentistry center Yonkers fits them over the top of your teeth either to strengthen them or make them look better when:
Protecting a cracked tooth
Holding an large existing filling in place
Repairing a broken tooth
Capping worn down teeth
Putting a cap on a tooth after a root canal
Finishing off a dental implant
Restoring a tooth from a deep hole in the tooth
Attaching a dental bridge or partial dentures
Making discolored or stained teeth look better
Porcelain crowns are dental caps, but instead of being made of acrylic, they’re made of porcelain, an ideal material to replace a tooth. The goal is to create natural-looking teeth that fit comfortably in your mouth. This doesn’t only restore your smile cosmetically; it also restores your teeth’s functionality.
