Porcelin Crowns
The most common crown restoration placed by general dentists today utilizes a metal lining covered with porcelain. These types of restorations are not as natural in appearance because light is not able to pass through porcelain-metal crowns as it does with a natural tooth, resulting in an opaque or flat-looking tooth. Often these types of traditional crowns leave a dark or gray line next to the gumline. Dr. Peterson is proud to offer a natural-looking alternative, all-ceramic non-metal crowns! With these newer restorations you will notice the "life-like" appearance that mimics natural teeth and does not produce the black gumline so common with so many porcelain-metal crowns.
