As a consultant to other websites, I get to answer questions about dentistry. I will try to share some of these questions and answers here on my blog as well.
It was asked what material is best for a crown. There are many decisions involved in deciding what material is best. If I could, I would do gold for all of them, but hip hop artists are not really who I treat the most…
Today, people want teeth that look like teeth. It used to be that people needed to choose between esthetics or strength, as the “pretty” crowns were not strong. Today, that is not the case. There are many products on the market that are VERY lifelike and VERY strong, so the decision is easy.
I prefer to place an all ceramic material that is bonded in place and has enough translucency to match the adjacent teeth. I won’t say what brand or what material exactly, as products change all the time and I try to stay current on what is best.
Rest assured, what is used in this office is the best money can buy!
