Dental Crowns In Cebu
What are they?
Dental crowns are used to cover the entire exposed body of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental crowns are used for various reasons, such as:
- To protect a weak or decayed tooth from breaking or cracking
- To support a tooth with a large filling or root canal treatment
- To improve the cosmetic appearance of a discolored, misshapen, or crooked tooth
- To replace a missing tooth as part of a dental implant or bridge
The different materials
There are many different types of dental crowns available at our clinic in Talisay, Cebu. Each one has their own advantages and disadvantages. Some of the most common types are:
Plastic Crowns
This is a type of temporary crown that is made from composite resin. Plastic crowns are only meant to be worn for a short period of time and should be replaced by permanent crown as soon as possible.
Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns (PFM)
This is a type of crown that has a metal base covered with a layer of porcelain. PFM crowns are strong and durable, but they may have a less natural appearance than ceramic crowns. The metal base beneath the porcelain may show through which creates a dark line by the gums that may appear like a cavity in color.
Ceramage Crowns
This is a type of ceramic crown that is known for its strength and durability. They have a natural-looking translucency and color that can match the surrounding teeth.
Emax Crowns
This is a type of all-ceramic crown that is made from a high-strength glass-ceramic material. Emax crowns look extremely close to natural teeth as their composition makes them have a similar translucency and color to our enamel.
Zirconia Crowns
This is another type of all-ceramic crown that is made from zirconium oxide, a metal-free material that has excellent strength and durability. Zirconia crowns also appear almost identical to our natural teeth. Because of their high opacity and great color, Zirconia crowns are fantastic for covering any tooth discoloration present.
