Windward Dentists Offer New Crowns Without Lines
Windward Oahu dentists Dr. Cynthia Ichiriu Keller and Dr. Bruce Keller offer new types of crowns that will never show ugly dark lines at their edges.
Over time, as their gums recede with age, many people become concerned with the ppearance of their crowned (also called “capped”) teeth due to the dark line that often shows up at their gum line. With age, even healthy gums recede, but gum recession is accelerated by a number of possible causes. However, heavy tooth brushing and periodontal disease (gum disease) are the most frequent causes of gum recession. The
problem of dark lines at the edge of crowns has been eliminated by the advent of all ceramic crowns. Old-fashioned crowns were made of porcelain that was heat fused to a substructure of thin dark metal. When a person’s gums move away from the edge of the crown two things happen to ruin the appearance of the tooth. One, the edge of the crown’s metal substructure becomes clearly visible. And secondly, since the
metal substructure of the crown blocks light from entering the tooth, the root of the tooth appears dark. All ceramic crowns have neither of these problems because they are only made of ceramic materials and light passes through them very similarly to a normal tooth.
Dr. Cynthia Ichiriu Keller says, “We see many new patients who come to us because they want their ugly old crowns redone with something that looks better. They are tired of hiding their smile because of the black line around their crowns.” Dr. Bruce Keller adds, “We make all ceramic crowns that precisely match the color and shape of the teeth around them so that, “Only your dentist knows for sure!” Perhaps the biggest surprise for people is not just how natural their all ceramic crowns look, but also how easy and affordable it can be to change a bad looking crown to one that looks perfect.”
