The Beauty of Porcelain Crowns in South East London

The Beauty of Porcelain Crowns in South East London

20 / 04 / 2011

We really do put our mouths through it over the course of our lives and it’s the teeth that tend to bear the brunt of our excesses in south east London. They can become worn and decayed- even broken; at worse, the decay can threaten the tooth altogether. But thanks to the wonder of modern dentistry, decayed teeth can be saved these days and re-beautified with a porcelain crown. Once you have had a root canal to remove any decay to the tooth (or, if you simply hate those old metallic fillings), then you can have the crown fitted to the original tooth base that is left, restoring the look of your mouth and maintaining your tooth’s strength and your overall oral health. It’s the porcelain itself that will give the beauty back to your tooth. Porcelain has a very natural beauty that gives off a very natural sheen, because it reacts to light like a tooth’s enamel does and pure porcelain crowns do not leave an unsightly darkness around the gum. Other than their cosmetic advantages, porcelain crowns also maintain the natural functions of the mouth like chewing, speaking and biting, as well as preventing any further decay spreading into the rest of the teeth.
