Non-metal dental crowns are effective, durable, and discreet. Not to mention, our cosmetic dentists in Atlanta, GA, can also use CEREC technology to plan and place your new dental crown in one visit. This makes dental crown treatment ideal for patients who wish to improve both the function and appearance of their smiles. Non-metal dental crowns are suitable for smile makeovers, as well as full mouth reconstruction.
Here are the top 5 benefits of non-metal dental crowns.
1. Natural Appearance
One of the most significant benefits of non-metal crowns is their natural appearance. Unlike metal crowns, which can appear dark and unnatural, non-metal crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Our dental crowns are translucent, mimicking the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel. This results in a more aesthetically pleasing smile, especially for crowns placed on visible front teeth. The ability to match the color and texture of your surrounding teeth makes non-metal crowns an excellent choice for those seeking a discreet and attractive dental restoration.
2. Biocompatibility
Non-metal dental crowns are known for their biocompatibility, meaning they are less likely to cause allergic reactions or adverse effects. Some patients experience sensitivity or allergic reactions to the metals used in traditional crowns, such as nickel or palladium.
Non-metal crowns are hypoallergenic and less likely to irritate the surrounding gum tissue. This makes them a safer option for individuals with metal allergies or sensitivities, ensuring a more comfortable and worry-free experience.
3. Durability and Strength
Modern non-metal crowns are incredibly durable and can withstand the daily wear and tear of biting and chewing. These crowns provide long-lasting protection for damaged teeth, ensuring that your dental restoration remains intact for many years.
Our non-metal dental crowns offer excellent strength and longevity, making them a reliable choice for most restorations.
4. Preservation of Tooth Structure
Non-metal dental crowns require less removal of the natural tooth structure compared to metal crowns. This is because non-metal crowns can be bonded more securely to the tooth, allowing for a thinner and more conservative restoration.
Preserving more of your natural tooth structure is beneficial for maintaining the overall health and integrity of your tooth. This minimally invasive approach not only promotes better oral health but also makes the procedure more comfortable and less invasive for patients.
5. Enhanced Oral Health
The dental crown procedure can contribute to improved oral health in several ways. Firstly, they are less likely to cause gum irritation or inflammation, promoting healthier gum tissue around the crowned tooth.
Additionally, non-metal crowns do not conduct heat and cold as metal crowns do, reducing the risk of sensitivity to temperature changes. This means you can enjoy your favorite hot and cold foods without discomfort.
Furthermore, the precise fit and secure bonding of non-metal crowns help prevent bacteria from entering the space between the crown and the natural tooth, reducing the risk of decay and infection.
