Examination and assessment
The doctor examines the condition of the tooth, takes X-rays when necessary, and assesses the gums and bite
PORCELAIN CROWNS
Restoring shape, function, and appearance according to the condition of each individual tooth
Porcelain crown lines such as Venus, Zirconia, and Cercon HT each have their own distinct qualities in terms of durability and aesthetic appearance. Choosing among them depends not only on cost, but also on the location of the restoration, the amount of remaining tooth tissue, the bite, and the aesthetic needs of each individual patient. Schedule an examination so the doctor can assess your case and recommend a suitable method.
Over 2 to 3 appointments
1
Teeth with significant tissue loss, cracks, or chipping
2
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and have lost a significant amount of tissue, or are at risk of cracking, which need to be protected with a crown

Weakened teeth, or teeth that have lost a significant amount of tissue, which need to be restored as part of a plan addressing both function and bite
