\"crowns<\/a>When serious decay or damage affect your tooth, you may need more than a filling to restore it to its good health. In this case,<\/span> Dr. Page<\/span><\/a> will do whatever possible to conserve your natural tooth — and conservative dentistry can be accomplished with durable crowns in Schenectady, NY. Keep reading to learn more about this trusted option from Capital Smiles!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Why, What and How of Dental Crowns<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dental crowns have long been a trusted solution for restoring the form and function of broken or weakened teeth. To fit you with a dental crown, Dr. Page will first take an impression of your tooth, and then make room for the crown by reducing some of the tooth structure. Your crown is then expertly crafted in our trusted lab and, once our doctors have checked to make sure it looks, fits and feels just like it should, your new dental crown is securely bonded on. The process is usually completed in just two visits to our Schenectady, NY office. <\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Crowns Made Of?<\/span><\/h3>\n

At Capital Smiles, we use crowns made of three types of materials: all-ceramic, porcelain fused to metal (PFM) and gold. The one that\u2019s right for you will depend on your needs, wants, and the placement of your tooth. Let\u2019s take a closer look at each. <\/span><\/p>\n

All-Ceramic Crowns<\/span><\/h3>\n

Beautiful all-ceramic crowns are the best option for restoring a damaged front tooth. Ceramic looks just like your natural tooth enamel, meaning a crown made of the material blends fantastically with the rest of your smile. \u00a0This type of crown has similar reflective properties as natural tooth structure. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Porcelain Fused to Metal<\/span><\/h3>\n

Because they combine the beauty of porcelain and the stability of metal, PFM crowns are a strong option for restoring teeth in the front or back of the mouth. One consideration to keep in mind with porcelain is that it is a bit easier to chip than other materials. Patients who grind their teeth at night, for example, should invest in a night guard to protect the porcelain crown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gold Crowns<\/span><\/h3>\n

Gold crowns are actually made up of a mixture of metals, primarily gold and copper. The great thing about gold crowns is that they are extremely durable, and the material is also very gentle on the tooth and those that surround it. But because gold crowns are very noticeable, they\u2019re usually reserved for restorations in the back teeth. \u00a0Preparing a tooth for a gold crown allows for the most preservation of tooth structure, and also, a gold crown provides an excellent seal where the tooth and crown meet. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Caring for Your Crown<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve received your new crown, you\u2019ll enjoy the benefits of a healthy smile once again. Maintain your crown (and overall oral health) by keeping up your excellent hygiene habits: brushing for two minutes, twice a day, flossing daily and visiting Dr. Page\u00a0 for a checkup and cleaning every six months. <\/span><\/p>\n
