Crowns

Crowns

Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Dr. Do’s goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable and reliable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.

Where damage to a person's teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain "fused to gold" crowns to make the smile appear "as new". This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite.

We are known for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for 10 to 20 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.

How long does it take?

A crown that requires special characterization takes two visits since it has to be sent to a lab. Initially, Dr. Do will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of either plastic or metal. At a second visit the final crown is adjusted if necessary and cemented in place. Finally you have a new beautiful looking tooth. Key Benefits Restores misshapen or badly broken teeth Looks completely natural Fixes "smile" and functional chewing problems.

What are the capabilities of crowns?

Crowns are a very reliable solution for dental problems caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either high-grade porcelain, or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems. Where accidental damage has occurred or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns can be used as a long-term solution.

Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause "appearance" problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage
