How tooth-colored partial crowns from your cosmetic dentists in Washington, DC, can enhance your smile.
When you need a dental restoration, chances are you think of the old, dark, crumbly metal fillings of yesteryear. It’s time to think differently about dental restorations because today’s dental restorations can blend with your smile, instead of detracting from it. Tooth-colored partial crowns can help strengthen your teeth and make them more beautiful too.
Dr. Najib Bouchebel at Always Smile DC in Washington, DC, offers a wide range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry services, including tooth-colored partial crowns to enhance your smile.
You’ve probably heard about porcelain crowns, which provide superb protection and beauty, because they cover the entire surface of your tooth. These are a great choice for badly damaged teeth.
But, what if you don’t need full coverage on your tooth, but you need a little more than just a simple filling? That’s where tooth-colored partial crowns come in.
Tooth-colored partial crowns, also known as inlays or onlays, are created out of porcelain. They are made by skilled artisans to exactly fit the area you need restored.
- A partial crown known as an inlay, covers the damaged area, without covering the cusps of your teeth.
- A partial crown known as an onlay, covers the cusps too, so the entire chewing surface of your tooth is covered.
Inlays and Onlays can be created out of porcelain, so they match the natural shade of your teeth. Porcelain partial crowns blend in with your smile, so they look completely natural. Porcelain is also stain-resistant, so your tooth-colored partial crowns will stay beautiful for years.
In some cases, your tooth-colored partial crowns can be created and delivered on the same day, right in the office, so there is no waiting time. In other cases, your dentist may want them sent out to a dental laboratory.
