The porcelain is very strong and durable, and will protect your worn or broken teeth, while also having the translucence of natural teeth.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, dental work would include low-grade porcelain that was difficult to shape and made dental crowns look bulky, pasty and left them more rounded at the center and edges than natural teeth. Today, crowns and\u00a0veneers from our Greensboro dentists\u00a0use top-quality porcelain which can be blended to match any tooth, regardless of the color, shape, translucence, or age of your natural teeth.

The dental professionals at Friendly Dentistry provide\u00a0<a href=\"\/what-are-dental-crowns-made-of\/\">custom crowns<\/a>\u00a0for your teeth that ensure they will be beautifully restored to match the color, characteristics, and gloss of your natural teeth &#8211; and will give you the perfect smile you deserve. Simply put, the results will amaze you!<\/p>\n\t<h2><em>Common Uses<\/em> for Crowns<\/h2>\n\t<ul>\n<li>Dental bridge &#8211; A dental bridge is used to replace a missing tooth. A dental crown is placed over the empty space, but it is supported by the adjacent teeth, and those teeth must be also crowned.<\/li>\n<li>Excessive wear &#8211; Worn teeth need to be protected to prevent them from fractures or breaks. Crowns provide the needed protection.<\/li>\n<li>Tooth discoloration &#8211; Some types of discoloration cannot be removed with teeth bleaching. Crowns provide a beautiful, but more affordable option than porcelain veneers.<\/li>\n<li>Broken or badly decayed teeth &#8211; If a tooth is badly broken, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily have to be replaced. It is possible to restore it. After treatment, a tooth that was badly decayed or that needed a root canal treatment is further protected with a crown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h2><em>What Are the Advantages<\/em> of Porcelain Crown Restorations?<\/h2>\n\t<ul>\n<li>Light easily passes through the porcelain, so the color and translucence can be tailored to match your natural teeth.<\/li>\n<li>They are durable and strong, and will provide maximum protection for worn or broken teeth.<\/li>\n<li>All-porcelain crowns \u00a0and veneers do not contain metal. Unlike porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, over time, a dark line will not appear at your gumline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h2><em>High-Quality Crowns<\/em> from a Family Greensboro Dentist<\/h2>\n\t<p>Our Greensboro dentists have advanced training in dental esthetics.
