What are Dental Crowns?

Often referred to as caps, crowns cover existing teeth, restoring strength, function, and beauty. Patients with extensive tooth decay, broken, or cracked teeth, which cannot be repaired with bonded fillings, often require dental crowns. We can also use crowns to anchor a bridge, enhance the appearance of teeth, and restore teeth treated with root canals. As your Miami dentist, Dr. Edderai offers several types of crowns to suit your unique needs.

Metal - Made from gold, palladium, nickel alloy, or chromium alloy, metal crowns withstand the tremendous biting forces of back teeth. Biocompatible and long-lasting, metal crowns have proven a reliable method of tooth restoration.

All-Porcelain/Ceramic - Crowns comprised exclusively of porcelain offer unrivaled beauty. Often used for front teeth, all-porcelain crowns closely resemble natural teeth and can be designed to blend with your existing dentition.

Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) - For patients who need back teeth restored, and don't want metal showing, PFM crowns can provide an esthetic and durable solution. Fashioned from a metal framework and outer layers of porcelain, PFM crowns are created to closely resemble natural teeth.

Dr. Edderai proudly offers CEREC one-visit crowns. These all-ceramic crowns can be designed, manufactured, and placed in a single visit to our office. CEREC features CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/ Computer-Aided Milling) technology, which allows Dr. Edderai to design and fabricate the crown right here, in our Miami dental office. Patients love the convenience of CEREC crowns, as well as the highly esthetic results.
