Crowns

When a cavity is too large for a filling to repair, or to correct a chipped or fractured tooth, Dr. Harvey often recommends a dental crown. They type of crown you need will depend upon the severity of the damage and the location of your tooth within your bite.

Porcelain Crowns
When possible, Dr. Harvey places a porcelain crown custom made to match the shade of surrounding teeth. In most cases, porcelain crowns work well for front teeth. They do not discolor at the gum line, so your restored front teeth will look natural and beautiful.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns
For teeth that incur more pressure than front teeth, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns offer a compromise between durability and aesthetics.

All-Metal Crowns
Molars must endure intense, crushing pressure, and porcelain simply won't withstand it. Dr. Harvey often places all-metal crowns on back teeth. Because they won't show when you smile, all-metal crowns are a logical restoration for this situation.
