Crowns

A crown is a long lasting restoration for a tooth that is in need of full coverage protection due to decay or in danger of being damaged or broken. A crown covers the entire tooth and can be made of a variety of materials including porcelain which has the most natural appearance in the mouth.

Before & After

Some porcelain crowns rely on a metal infrastructure for the strength to provide the tooth protection. With today’s technology it’s now possible to have the strength of metal in a more natural and undetectable all-porcelain metal-free crown.

Before & After

“This patient had aged porcelain fused to metal crowns on her front teeth. With a cosmetic approach replacing her restorations created beautiful results that mimic the vitality of a natural tooth eliminating the dark edge along the gumline.” In recognition of his artistic expertise, Dr. Shimizu was awarded the prestigious Masterpiece in the Quintessence for this case.

Before & After

“Porcelain crowns are virtually undetectable among your natural teeth. Using only state of the art materials and laboratories, Dr. Shimizu’s crowns offer beauty, function and reliability for superior results.”
