Do you want to
save your
tooth?...Imagecare Crowns give you back the comfort, durability and strength
needed to allow long
lasting solutions. 
If you're
self-conscious about your smile or if you have cracked, broken, decayed or worn
teeth, we can
bring back your healthy, natural-looking smile with crowns. A filling can restore a small
defect
in a tooth, but a crown is the most durable, strongest way to restore a tooth with
extensive damage, front or back for the long term. With all the materials and techniques
modern dentistry has to offer, crowns can be totally natural looking. We offer
many different kinds of crowns because we understand that patients have different priorities and
objectives regarding crown selection. We have the traditional gold crown for patients
whose main concern is durability and are not concerned with esthetics. Gold crowns are very
biocompatable and long lasting. On the other end of the spectrum we have the all porcelain or
ceramic 3M Lava crown which is the most esthetic crown we offer. It is for patients who
desire the best. This crown offers the finest esthetics and strength. And when made by
the hands of our world class ceramist, its craftsmanship is impeccable. As a result, we offer
a lifetime warranty on our Lava crowns.
Next is the insurance or economy crown
which is composed of base metal with porcelain fused on top. The base metal often shows a
grey band around the gum and frequently causes irritation to the tissues. We do not recommend
this type of crown but understand that due to economics, patients may desire it. The last type of crown is our middle of the road crown offering a
great combination of quality, strength and esthetics. It is called porcelain fused to
high nobel metal. The advantages of this crown over the porcelain fused to base
metal crown are as follows: - better esthetics
- improved
biocompatability resulting in healthier gums
- no grey line crowns
For the
discriminating patients who want to look their best. Treat yourself to royalty! Additional
benefits of crowns are correcting bite problems, closing spaces between teeth, changing the
angulations of teeth, and they can be used to replace missing teeth permanently, as part of a
bridge, or over an implant.
