How dental crowns from your dentist in Fort Collins, Colorado can strengthen your smile
When you choose dental crowns to restore your damaged teeth, you are choosing one of the strongest dental restorations available. That’s because dental crowns completely cover the visible surfaces of your teeth above the gumline. They protect your teeth from strong chewing and biting forces when you eat. Dr. Ryan Ulibarri at Ulibarri Family Dentistry in Fort Collins, Colorado offers wide range of dental services, including dental crowns, to give you the strong, beautiful smile you deserve.
Dental crowns work differently than dental fillings do. Because dental crowns cover your teeth entirely, that means the forces of biting and chewing are spread evenly across your teeth, protecting your teeth from breaking.
Dental crowns provide the strength you need, and they can also provide the beauty you want. That’s because many of today’s crowns are created out of pure, sparkling porcelain. Porcelain is a dazzling, light-reflective material that closely resembles tooth enamel. In fact, when you choose a full porcelain crown, and the crown has been placed in your mouth, it is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
In addition to full porcelain, you can also choose a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, commonly known as a PFM crown. PFM crowns have all the beauty of porcelain, but they are much stronger because of their metal underlay. PFM crowns are a perfect choice for back teeth, where you still want the beauty of porcelain, but you need extra strength for chewing.
Dental crowns can shore up your damaged smile, giving you back the strength to enjoy the foods you love, and the beauty of enjoying your smile again. To find out more about dental crowns, call Dr. Ryan Ulibarri at Ulibarri Family Dentistry in Fort Collins, Colorado today.
