Restore your smile with porcelain crowns and onlays
When your smile is impacted by trauma, decay, or infection, it is important that you work with a restorative dental team that can repair the tooth or teeth and restore the health and function of the smile with an aesthetic approach. The qualified, experienced dentists at Humber Valley Dental in Bolton, Ontario, are committed to ensuring patients have access to treatments that help, including smile restoration, using solutions such as porcelain crowns and dental onlays.
What are porcelain crowns, and how are they used in restorative dentistry?
First and foremost, our team relies on using porcelain dental crowns to repair natural teeth with cracks, chips, or other imperfections and damage. Crowns are customized “caps” made to cover a tooth and provide an extra layer of strength and protection for patients. They are also used on natural teeth that have had root canal therapy, an oral surgery that removes the dental pulp from the inside of the tooth, resulting in a weak remaining tooth structure. Placing a dental crown over this tooth can maintain the natural tooth in the smile and eliminate the need for extraction. Crowns are also used over the abutment of dental implants to replace a single tooth or, along with false teeth, to create a dental bridge.
What are dental onlays, and are they a good alternative to traditional dental crowns?
Dental onlays are another therapeutic option for patients to consider. They are best used on teeth that have been impacted by tooth decay. The onlay covers only the portion of the tooth that needs repair, making it a more conservative alternative to a dental crown that covers all visible areas of the natural tooth.
Real Patients – Real Results
Why should I choose porcelain restorations?
Many dental offices use porcelain as one of many materials to create dental restorations. Porcelain is a common material because it can mimic the natural look of tooth enamel. It comes in many shades, allowing our team to make a dental restoration that perfectly matches the natural colour of your teeth.
