Dr. Alan Slootsky on Dental Crowns
Read Transcript
Some patients have needs that, exceed what they're capable of doing. Financially for those patients if they need to have a number of crowns we are skilled enough to do it where we can extend it out and put them in provisional crowns over the course of a couple of years so that this way they can financially catch up and the provisionals are made in such a way that they're sturdy they look beautiful and it's a good way to transition somebody to permanent crowns. We are comprehensive but not necessarily the most expensive so we offer all options for patients and a lot of it is based upon what's best for them what fits into their circumstances not necessarily the most expensive.

Choose From Several Types of High-Quality Crowns
Depending on your unique needs, we can offer you several types of dental crowns:
- max porcelain – Very thin but strong. It will reflect light like your natural teeth to blend in uniformly.
- Zirconia – One of the hardest materials available, providing extra strength for biting and chewing your favorite foods.
- Porcelain fused to precious metal – Provides the beauty of porcelain with the strength of metal. It will look great with your natural teeth and hold up well over time.
Restorative and Implant Dentistry also offers partial crowns called inlays and onlays. These are used when the damage requires more than a dental filling but less than a full dental crown.
An inlay goes over the inside of your biting surface, while an onlay extends onto the outside of your biting surface. Dr. Slootsky will help you determine which option will work best for your situation.
Benefit From a Custom-Fit Dental Crown or Bridge
Here are a few reasons we might recommend a dental crown for you:
- Cracked tooth
- Broken tooth
- Sealing a tooth following root canal treatment
- Tooth decay
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge may be a good option to restore your smile. With two dental crowns on either side of a solid replacement tooth, a bridge can fill the gap in your smile after losing a tooth to an accident, decay, or tooth extraction. We also offer superior Glidewell transitional bridges to use until you receive your final bridge.
Keep your smile full and your teeth healthy with dental crowns and bridges from Dr. Slootsky. Call our office today at 954-590-0538 to schedule your consultation.
