Your smile is an important investment that affects almost every aspect of your life. Every day you eat, drink, talk, laugh, and probably smile—all important activities that involve your teeth. When you are public speaking or even talking to the neighbor across the street, people around you notice your smile. In addition to having strong and healthy teeth, investing in the aesthetics of your smile can make that extra difference you need to enhance social and professional opportunities.
Restorative and cosmetic dentistry include porcelain crowns as a prominent solution for broken, decayed, or otherwise damaged teeth. A dental crown, also known as a "dental cap", is a beautiful tooth restoration molded to the slopes and color shade of your teeth. Dental crowns restore function, support, and aesthetics to damaged teeth.
At your initial consultation with Dr. Ralph Pamenter or Dr. Quandt at Brookfield Dental Care, they will assess your teeth and show you the various tooth restoration options. For less severely damaged teeth you may choose porcelain veneers or Lumineers as alternative cosmetic dental treatments to dental crowns. Dental crowns are usually needed to cover and protect more heavily damaged teeth. Our Brookfield Dental Care staff is highly trained in smile restoration and can help you determine which solution will work best for your teeth.
Before placing porcelain crowns, Dr. Ralph Pamenter or Dr. Quandt will prepare your natural tooth to make room for the dental crown to fit over the top. Afterwards, molded impressions of your mouth and teeth will be taken and sent to a professional lab where your dental crowns will be custom crafted.
While your tooth replacement is being fashioned, you will be given a temporary dental crown to wear.
The professional ceramists use the impressions of your teeth to carefully mold porcelain crowns that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Once they are completed and secured over the top of your damaged teeth, your porcelain crowns will naturally fit into your smile.
Support: Porcelain crowns offer more solid support to severely damaged teeth than most direct restorations. Because a dental crown is most commonly made of a durable porcelain material, it offers you natural chewing support as well as restored speaking ability.
Beauty: While dental crowns can be molded from various materials, porcelain is most commonly used because it mimics the translucent quality of tooth enamel when light passes through it.
Natural Look: Brookfield Dental Care chooses highly artistic ceramists to craft and mold your dental crown. The molds of your teeth are used to perfectly match your porcelain crown to the color and shape of your teeth. Your dental crown will naturally fit into your smile, restoring both functionality and beauty.
Protection: By covering your damaged tooth, a dental crown seals it off from harmful bacteria that may cause further decay or harm. With a dental crown by your expert dentist in Milwaukee, you can protect your original tooth while still having the benefits of a complete and healthy tooth restoration.
Comfort: Trying to talk and tenderly chew around a damaged tooth can cause great pain. Because a dental crown is a close replica of your original tooth in size and function, it can eliminate your pain and restore your tooth to full capacity.
Durability: Depending on the location of the dental crown and the level of oral hygiene you maintain, dental crowns generally last several years. However, many patients choose to eventually have their dental crowns replaced.
