Dental Crowns

A crown ("cap") is a tooth-like covering placed over a carefully prepared pre-existing tooth. Crowns serve many functions, such as to strengthen, restore or improve the appearance of your natural tooth. For example, a crown can support the tooth when there is no longer sufficient tooth structure left to place a filling. Crowns may also be used to protect the structure of a tooth that is fractured or broken, and can be attached to bridges or dentures.

Dr. Tuccillo uses the latest all-ceramic crown systems (e.g. Empress, Procera) which are the most natural and esthetic crowns available today. Because they contain no metal, they are translucent just like natural teeth. These all-ceramic crowns are used when his patients demand the absolute most natural crowns available in dentistry today.
