Porcelain (non-metallic) Crowns

Often used when a tooth is severely damaged, or in the case of severe enamel erosion, porcelain crowns recreate the form and function of the tooth from the tip down to the gum line. Maintenance of dental crowns is simple, requiring only routine brushing and regular flossing like a natural tooth. However, porcelain crowns are not as flexible as natural teeth, so changes in eating habits may be necessary to protect the tooth.
