PARTIAL CROWNS

Partial crowns restorations are made from a non-metal ceramic optimized fiber-reinforced polymer. Put more simply, this is a laboratory produced restoration, with increased strength and durability, as well as improved esthetics and wear properties.

So what are the advantages?

Unlike Mercury (amalgam) fillings which expand and exert damaging forces to the remaining tooth structure, and unlike composite fillings which when placed in larger cavities experience shrinkage that cause it to fail, Partial crowns do not undergo expansion or contraction. Also, because they are produced by the laboratory, you can be assured of a more accurate fit and greatly enhanced cosmetics.

Why not place a crown? Though crowns are necessary in certain situations, it has been proven that preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible is ideal. Thus in appropriate situations, a Partial crowns is always more desirable than a crown.

What is the process like?

Since Partial crowns are amongst the most tooth preserving treatments, the first appointment is less time consuming than preparing for a crown. Next the fit is confirmed and the Partial crowns cemented.

Nothing but good things to say about Westlake Smile Design.

Great Cleaning! My teeth required a lot of work during the cleaning because I missed several months since my last visit. The entire session was still amazingly comfortable. The hygienist was tremendously skillful to get the job done without causing any discomfort.

The staff and Dentist were informative. I received more information from the Dentist then my past Dentist. He informed me of my options and gave me a simple plan to get the services done. The office staffed worked with my insurance. Wonderful Experience !

Dr. Eben is very pedantic in his assessment and inspection. He was very clear what needs to be corrected. I liked his feedback if he was in my place. Very gentle hands. He gave me two options to ponder. Very well mannered and articulate. Yes, I would recommend him.
