Porcelain Crowns and Bridges
Porcelain crowns are the perfect permanent
restoration when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed or compromised
aesthetically. A one to two millimeter dimension all around
the tooth and on top is removed to fit the crown while strengthening
and preserving the remaining natural tooth structure. Depending
on each individual and dental condition, we offer all-porcelain
or porcelain fused to biocompatible metal or gold crowns.
Each type of porcelain crown is handcrafted
by Dr. Sun and our Los Angeles
technicians to mimic your natural teeth and to ensure maximum
light translucency and color.
Older, more inexpensive crowns were fabricated
with opaque, flat-looking materials that did not let natural
light pass through as a natural tooth does.
With these older crowns, there is usually a
dark gray shadow or line next to the gum line. Our handcrafted
porcelain crowns do not show any gray discoloration on your
gum tissue or teeth. With our natural light-diffusing porcelain
and dental artistry, we assure you a natural and healthy smile.
