Why porcelain is a perfect fit with our holistic dentistry center

By restoring the structure and health of a tooth, dental crowns play an important role in supporting your overall health and well-being. We depend on our teeth for so many essential functions. The smile is also the central feature of our face. So, when the teeth look, feel, and function less than their best, it can affect your whole self. You feel less confident about how you look. A damaged and aching tooth can interfere with your ability to eat the foods you enjoy or get the nutrition your body needs as fuel. 

All porcelain crowns 

At The International Center for Dental Excellence in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, not just any crown will do. As a holistic and biological cosmetic dentist, Dr. Yolanda Cintron only prepares, secures, and uses materials and products that support your optimal health and wellness. That means metals, such as amalgams which contain mercury, have no place at our office. Dentistry should enhance your life, not present additional health and systemic challenges or concerns. 

Instead, you will find stunning and strong metal-free composite and ceramic materials. One of the most coveted materials available to modern dentists is dental porcelain. There are numerous reasons so many dentists and patients alike choose porcelain for treatments, from veneers to crowns. These motivations and unique, beneficial characteristics include porcelain’s: 

• Compatibility with living tissues does not “wear” on surrounding teeth, nor does it irritate supportive gums
• Lasting aesthetics and durability, because it doesn’t corrode like metals, nor does it lose its attractive appearance as the enamel thins with time 
• Ability to replicate the properties of natural tooth enamel, down to its light reflectivity and its translucence 
• Ability to resist stains very well to sustain the appealing look of your restored tooth
• Suitability for many different types of patients, including those with sensitivities and allergies to metals 

Our safe and stunning porcelain dental crowns are also versatile. Dr. Cintron may use them to hold together a broken tooth, reshape a very irregularly contoured tooth, or even replace a tooth as part of a dental bridge or the “finishing touch” for a dental implant/artificial tooth root.
