Improving Dental Aesthetics and Preservation of Tooth Structure With Bonded Dental Crowns

Dental crowns have been a mainstay in dentistry for the last hundred years. In order for a crown to stay on (retention) it needs to have sufficient height of the remaining tooth structure to cement to. In addition, technologies of the past only involved porcelain fused to a metal substructure. While this technique is still used today, obtaining an acceptable aesthetic outcome involves placing the margins of the crown under the gum tissue. Anytime we place a margin of a restoration "under" the gums, we invite other problems. These include but are not limited to:
 

• Swollen gums
• Bleeding gums
• "Bluish" gums
• Difficulty in cleaning the interface between the crown and the tooth
• Extreme difficulty in accessing the fit of the crown under the gum
• Decay in and around the margin of the tooth.
