Porcelain crowns from Leeds dentists produce stunning results

Having damaged or broken teeth can put you off smiling out of embarrassment. As smiling is an important social tool which puts others at ease, it is important to deal with any cracked teeth in a way that leaves you confident of satisfactory results.

Crowns can be installed by your Leeds dentist to strengthen your broken down tooth and enable it to function properly when you eat, drink and talk. If your tooth has decayed or been so damaged that there is an insufficient amount remaining to rebuild from, a crown will be your best option. Crowns can also be used as protection for any large cavities. The aesthetic appeal of crowns can be used if your teeth have become dull or stained but it is worth noting that in these circumstances you might have to have a proportion of your tooth drilled away in order to fit the crown and a less invasive procedure may be preferable.

Porcelain crowns represent an improvement on the traditional use of metal. In time, metal crowns can begin to produce a dark line against the gum which is hardly aesthetically pleasing. The new porcelain varieties are far more discreet and will match your existing teeth so that few people would even notice.

Your dentist will need to prepare the area to remove debris and then, if necessary, file down the tooth under local anaesthetic. This is to ensure that the crown can fit on perfectly. An impression is taken in dental putty then sent to a laboratory where the crown will be constructed from durable, lightweight porcelain. In the meantime you will wear a temporary crown which will be removed and replaced with the permanent, porcelain replacement after a fortnight or so and fixed with dental cement.

Ask your Leeds dentist today about the amazing results that porcelain crowns can offer and look forward to a perfect smile.
