Dental Crowns
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown, sometimes called tooth cap or tooth crown, is designed to replace the full, external portion of the tooth. At Eastside Modern Dentistry, we offer high-quality dental crowns made from zirconia, a durable and aesthetically pleasing material. Zirconia crowns are fabricated in a laboratory using advanced CAD/CAM technology, ensuring a precise fit and superior strength. Zirconia is known for its:
- Translucency: Zirconia crowns closely mimic the natural appearance of teeth, providing a highly lifelike restoration.
- Strength: Zirconia is exceptionally strong and durable, making it an ideal choice for both front and back teeth.
- Biocompatibility: Zirconia is highly biocompatible, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or gum irritation.
- Resistance to staining: Zirconia is less prone to staining compared to other materials, helping to maintain a bright and beautiful smile.
