Porcelain Crowns DentistryCeramics - Restorative and Reconstructive Applications
Dental crowns are probably the most popular and most frequently used component for modifying a tooth structure or completely replacing it.For individual applications, crowns are routinely used to improve a tooth that perhaps has deficient tooth structure due to excessive decay, trauma, cracks or even being undersized. They are also used in implant dentistry ... replacing Mother Nature's handiwork, including the root (titanium implant) and unparalleled dental function. These porcelain restorations are also the product of choice for creating custom bridgework that serves to replace missing tooth structures in a short span (3 unit bridge) or long span (7 to 10 units). A Crown is a Crown
Not so..... A well tenured cosmetic or reconstructive dentist typically uses "crown technology" for developing a treatment plan but may have these components created with different properties depending upon the placement of the crown and the properties of other existing tooth structures... especially opposing teeth.Posterior teeth (rear teeth, molars), for example, endure extreme forces when we chew and grind our food. Anterior teeth (front) are not used in the same fashion. Restoration products for these 2 different areas of the jaw necessarily then, must have different properties. Porcelain properties of crowns differ, as well as any special porcelain to metal fusing scheme. Some crowns are bonded to nickel, bonded to custom alloys and, are popularly available as porcelain fused to gold. In certain applications, the crown may be 100% porcelain. Again.... a reconstructve dentist can be expected to have the skills and especially knowledge required for knowing which component properties are best suited for different types of applications. Crown product failures usually occur when the wrong type of crown is used in a particular location. 
In our office, patients are provided a choice of treatment plans that will create any degree of cosmetic or dental function need of our patients. Depending upon the interests of the patient, products from resources including Da Vinci, Nobel Biocare and Ivoclar/Vivadent (IPS Empress) may be offered.Dr. Marinic's post graduate training in reconstructive dentistry and implant surgery coupled with focus on major rehabilitative dentistry assures our patients that there is a precise match between cosmetic result, dental function, endurance and the type and brand of crown desired by the patient. Popular Crown FailuresCrown failures are more frequently... or in an unusual sense, routinely caused by bonding failures. The science of bonding in for crown restorations is complex. Visit the Crown Failure page for more information.Porcelain crowns, if not selected and prepared carefully (includes considerations for brand, amount of porcelain, type of metal for PFM, placement, etc), can cause problems involving pain, sensitivity, jawbone pain, tmj isssues, bad mouth odors, etc. Many of these issues involve the disruption of the occlusal plane. Questions?Crown dentistry can become a complex problem for some patients, especially in instances where the occlusal relationships have been unknowingly disturbed through prior treatments or some significant event. Persons with a special crown problem that isn't addressed on this page or our crown failure page are invited to contact Dr. Marinic directly with their questions.Use our convenient on-line Consult Request form or the Ask The Dentist form. Dr. Marinic will respond to you directly with the answers or information you need to make an informed decision. Or, call our office at (847) 475-8700 to schedule a Consultation appointment.  |
