What are Crowns?
Crowns in Tacoma are tooth-shaped caps. Crowns are positioned over a tooth in order to restore its strength, size, appearance, and shape. These can be made out of a variety of materials such as gold, porcelain, or a combination of metal shells covered with layered porcelain. Stainless steel crowns are frequently used over baby teeth. Common permanent crown materials include porcelain fused to metal, resin, ceramic, and porcelain.
Temporary crowns can be made and affixed in our dentist office. Permanent crowns in Tacoma must be made by a dental laboratory.
Dental Crown uses Include:
- Restoring a worn tooth
- Supporting and covering a filled tooth
- Holding a dental bridge in place

- Maintaining the integrity of a cracked tooth

- Making a cosmetic modification
The Four Types of Dental Crowns
- Ceramic crowns: These are the most popular. The porcelain-based material can be color matched to your tooth to offer nearly perfect concealing.
- Porcelain-fused to metal: When durability matters this is the best option. Porcelain is affixed over a metal base for a stronger crown.
- Gold alloys: This crown may be made of several metals including copper and gold. They don’t wear teeth, won’t fracture, and provide a tough bond.
- Base alloys: Non-noble metal crowns are strong and corrosion resistant. They do require a portion of a healthy teeth be removed before affixing.

BRIDGE
What is a bridge? A bridge is used to replace missing teeth. They are fixed and not removable. Bridges are the same size and shape as natural teeth. They can also be made of gold metal or porcelain fused metal. A bridge can be used to replace one or multiple teeth when their are solid teeth in front and behind to make the bridge complete.
