Restore Your Smile With Porcelain Crowns

Are you curious about dental crowns and how they work? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Our Honolulu, HI, world-class cosmetic dentist Dr. Wynn Okuda is happy to sit down with you and discuss the restorative dentistry that they offer. A porcelain crown is a popular option because it offers both restorative and cosmetic benefits and can be used to address a variety of problems. Here’s why porcelain crowns are placed:

Preserve a Damaged Tooth

The goal of our dental team is to provide you with restorative treatments to support and preserve your natural teeth, even when they are damaged. If you come into our Honolulu, HI, office with a broken or cracked tooth, we will often recommend a porcelain crown. This tooth-shaped cap is placed over the tooth to protect it from further fracturing. A crown restores durability and function back into the tooth after an injury.

Strengthen a Weak Tooth

From severe decay to an infected dental pulp, there are many issues that can cause a tooth to weaken. Of course, when this happens it’s important that you turn to a qualified dental professional who can provide you with restorative dentistry that can improve the health and function of your smile. If you have severe decay, an excessively worn tooth, or a tooth that requires a root canal, then a crown is going to be the restoration of choice for rebuilding and strengthening the tooth after treatment.

Improve a Tooth’s Appearance

The porcelain crowns that Dr. Okuda and the team offer are made to look just like a real tooth, so you won’t even notice the difference between your crown and your natural teeth when you smile. We crafted winning restorations including crowns, veneers, and bridges to give you a smile you can feel proud of. We custom design each crown we provide to our patients, ensuring that you get a tooth that’s the perfect size, shape, and color for your unique smile.

“Crown” a Dental Implant

If you need to replace a single missing tooth and you’ve decided to turn to us for implant dentistry, then you might already realize that a dental crown must be placed on top of the metal implant in order to complete the false tooth. This crown is made to mimic the look and size of your natural teeth so that when it’s cemented into place over the metal post, your dental implant will look just like the rest of your smile.
