A sweet smile of a crocodile

If we look at the past there were just limited kinds of teeth crowns available. Cosmetic dentists used gold crowns to cover back teeth but at the same time to chew was quite a challenge for people. As for the ceramic-veneered crowns – they looked rather natural but nevertheless the gold durability was an issue that had to be replaced in the future.

Because of an awkward appearance not all people were ready to wear such crowns – especially it concerns youngsters who pay much attention to their appearance and gold crowns was something that “spoiled the outlook”! Moreover, the chewing pressure remained a problem for anyone who had the courage to wear such crowns.

But the medical technology is developing rather fast and there has been a new type of crowns invented – pure ceramic crowns that lack the problems mentioned above. Bonded all-porcelain crowns sometimes also called reinforced resin crowns have gained many supporters as they provided the most natural look and were practically identical to genuine teeth. Teenagers constituted the largest number of clients.

There are two major types of modern ceramic crowns: reinforced composite crowns and pure ceramic ones. Both of them are outstanding for those who want to have an ideal smile! The most exciting thing is the way these crowns are installed: a new bonding technology enables dentists to place these crowns as firmly to the tissue as possible which results in long and hassle-free wear.

Santa Monica dentists were among the first to install pure ceramic crowns and proved to be highly qualified and professional in their sphere. A huge number of references and testimonials prove that reinforced composite crowns have no competitors nowadays. So do you still fear to wear crowns?
