Tooth Crowns

00:00:05.875 --> 00:00:08.000 Simplest way to describe a crown 00:00:08.083 --> 00:00:12.333 is basically a reinforcement structure that goes on top of a tooth. 00:00:12.708 --> 00:00:15.542 If a tooth has got a lot of decay, 00:00:16.083 --> 00:00:17.833 a filling is just not enough 00:00:18.792 --> 00:00:22.375 to restore back the tooth and keep it strong enough. 00:00:23.458 --> 00:00:26.875 When teeth are severely broken down or just worn down, 00:00:27.167 --> 00:00:29.083 we would need a crown to build back the tooth 00:00:29.167 --> 00:00:30.875 and strengthen the tooth structure. 00:00:31.667 --> 00:00:35.958 A veneer, on the other hand, is a porcelain facing or a laminate 00:00:36.042 --> 00:00:38.208 that just comes on the front side of the tooth. 00:00:38.292 --> 00:00:39.708 A good way to describe, 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.625 a veneer or laminate is like a sticky note, 00:00:43.333 --> 00:00:46.958 and a crown is like an envelope, it covers the tooth entirely. 00:00:47.208 --> 00:00:51.875 We also use premium-quality ceramics that look very, very esthetic. 00:00:52.708 --> 00:00:54.125 People call it eMax. 00:00:54.708 --> 00:00:57.125 We use only premium-quality dental laboratories. 00:00:57.208 --> 00:00:59.833 We have state-of-the-art technology in our office, 00:00:59.917 --> 00:01:01.125 digital technology. 00:01:01.208 --> 00:01:05.500 We have intraoral scanning, CT scans. 00:01:05.917 --> 00:01:08.750 Basically, with the technology that we have, 00:01:08.917 --> 00:01:12.625 we're able to offer state-of-the-art dental care using premium materials. 00:01:12.708 --> 00:01:16.208 The crown, what we offer is not the crown of 1990s 00:01:16.292 --> 00:01:18.167 or even the crown of the year 2000. 00:01:18.458 --> 00:01:20.917 Our crowns are built so much more differently, 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.417 they're so strong, and they look and feel just like natural teeth. 00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:26.667 We have patients who frequently 00:01:27.292 --> 00:01:33.042 have forgotten which tooth is a crown, which tooth is their natural tooth.
