Learn about porcelain dental crowns with Gambrills, MD, area dentist.
Vickii R. Bingham-Lester of Gambrills, MD, believes that patients should have access to affordable dental restorations, including dental crowns. Dental crowns are porcelain restorations available at Bingham-Lester Dentistry for patients who need to strengthen a weak tooth or protect it from damage. Dental crowns, or “dental caps,” are common in dentistry and allow patients to keep natural teeth strong and protected for many years.
What are dental crowns made of?
At the practice of Dr. Vickii R. Bingham-Lester, patients can obtain porcelain dental crowns. Porcelain is a material commonly used in dentistry because it mimics natural tooth enamel. Porcelain is also incredibly strong, making it an effective way to protect the smile. Patients will find that dental crowns will last many years, sometimes over a decade, with proper care and attention.
Who is a candidate for dental crowns?
During an evaluation, our team will assess a patient’s dental needs to determine if they could benefit from the fabrication and placement of a dental crown. Porcelain dental crowns are custom-made for patients to match the color, shape, size, and overall appearance of their existing teeth. This ensures that the final restoration does not look like dental work that has been completed, offering both beauty and confidence for the patient. Most patients with damage to a natural tooth will benefit from having a dental crown placed.
How much does a tooth crown cost?
There are many variables that come into play when factoring in the final cost of restorations, such as dental crowns. This includes any benefits that the patient might have from their dental insurance, which can reduce or eliminate the cost of dental crowns altogether. We recommend that patients bring their dental insurance information for our front office team to review to determine if benefits can reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients in need of this and other dental restorations.
