A crown is a tooth-shaped cover placed over a tooth that is badly damaged or decayed. Many people call it a cap. Crowns may be placed for several reasons. Usually the tooth has been broken or severely damaged by decay. As a result, a filling can't replace enough of the tooth or make the tooth strong enough. A crown may hold together parts of a cracked tooth. It also can be used to hold a bridge in place. Crowns can be used to improve appearance as well. They may be placed to cover misshapen or badly discolored teeth. Crowns can be made ahead of time (prefabricated) or made to order in a laboratory. Prefabricated crowns are made of plastic or stainless steel. They can be used on a temporary basis until a permanent crown is made. Crowns can be made of:
All metal
Zirconia
Porcelain fused to metal (PFM)
Porcelain fused to zirconia
All ceramic
Metals include gold alloy, other alloys (palladium) or a base-metal alloy (nickel or chromium). The all-metal or PFM crowns are stronger and are better choices for back teeth than ceramic crowns. PFM and all-ceramic crowns are the same color as your natural teeth. They look just like normal teeth. To read the entire article , please visit Colgate.com
Implants Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Made of titanium and other materials, implants are designed to hold restorations like crowns or bridges blend in with your other teeth, and are a long-term option for restoring your smile.

Whitening When it comes to getting a whiter and brighter smile, there are a variety of teeth-whitening products you can try. Your main options are in-office and at-home bleaching. Before starting any whitening treatment, you should speak with your dentist. Your dentist will tell you what, if any, whitening procedures will work best for you.

‘Smile
Makeovers’ in as Little as Two Visits!
If you think your teeth are beyond correction because of
deep discoloration, wide gaps, or misshapen form, we have a
pleasant surprise for you. Veneers are thin sheets of
porcelain that are very durable and can easily correct these
problems to give you an attractive smile with straight,
even, white teeth. Veneers can also be bonded to your
natural teeth to cover stains, chipping, or uneven wear. A
veneer can match your other teeth in color, so the
restoration will look very natural. Drs. Leaman, Setnicar & Piacsek, S.C. James Leaman DDS, Joseph Setnicar DDS, Stacie Piacsek DDS 820 Summit Avenue Oconomowoc, WI 53066 (262) 567-4466 LSPDental.com
