Choosing A Dental Crown

Dental crowns are applied to strengthen a weak, decayed or fractured tooth.  Dental crowns can also cover dental implants.  When a broken or decayed tooth does not have enough healthy structure to support a filling, you may need a dental crown.  Dental crowns can be made of different materials.

Porcelain dental crowns are ideal for front teeth due to their natural tooth color.  Porcelain fused-to-metal crowns combine the esthetics of a porcelain outer surface with the strength of a metal core and are used primarily on the back teeth to withstand the increased forces of chewing.

In the United States, all metals used in dental crowns and implants must get the approval of the FDA.  In recent times, some imported dental crown were found to contain lead.  Patients are therefore advised to check with their dentist to learn if FDA materials are being used in their restoration.

Our office uses a local dental laboratory in Seneca Falls, NY, BonaDent, which guarantees that all of your restorations whether crowns, bridges, implants, partial dentures, or complete dentures, are made in the United States.  Some labs in the United States ship work overseas to reduce the cost of materials and labor.  Our exclusive use of BonaDent ensures you that all materials used to fabricate your restoration comply with all federal guidelines.

We also guarantee that every restoration is made using FDA registered materials for your safety, health and well-being.  Our practice is committed to providing you with the highest quality restorations made in the United States by American workers.  To learn more about our commitment to you and the local community, visit Adult Dentistry of Rochester at http://www.dulski.com/restorative-dentistry.html or visit BonaDent at http://www.bonadent.com/.
