Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain Crowns – While crowns made of precious metals have traditionally been a great solution if your tooth has been damaged or suffered decay, our dentists offer lifelike porcelain crowns which can be customized to perfectly match your existing teeth. Your custom-milled CEREC porcelain crown is placed atop your tooth after all decay has been removed and your tooth has been evaluated and strengthened, leaving you with a functional, and aesthetically pleasing restoration that looks real.

The best part about porcelain crowns at Robinson Grimm DentalCare is that 99% of the time they are fabricated in-house, while you are still anesthetized. That means NO temporaries, and generally no second visit. The team at Robinson DentalCare truly does design your new tooth in-house. No more taking time to get used to your new crown.

One of the unique benefits CEREC same-day crowns offer is that the Robinson Grimm DentalCare team will be able to copy the original shape of your previous tooth and make your new crown to match. Very often patients will say, “Feels like it was meant to be there.” There can be no better compliment.

Porcelain Veneers

Remake your smile with porcelain veneers.  In just a few visits, this conservative treatment can offer a bright, white smile. Porcelain veneers could be the answer to correcting a variety of flaws in your smile like chipped teeth, crooked teeth, spaces between teeth or dull, stained teeth.  In fact, most of the “smile makeovers” you see on TV use this very procedure to achieve such fast, dramatic results.  After minimal tooth preparation, our dentists will skillfully bond and shape thin films of porcelain to your teeth creating a straight, brilliant smile that enhances your appearance.

Porcelain Bridges

Sometimes gum disease, injury, decay or simply wear results in the loss of a tooth. A missing tooth or teeth can create significant problems for your dental health if not corrected. Over time your bite pressure may shift to other parts of your mouth to compensate for an inability to chew efficiently in the area of the missing tooth. Neighboring teeth may begin to move about, moving into the area and resulting in discomfort, and pain among other problems. Bridges made of porcelain “bridge the gap” in your smile. Our dentists can fix troublesome gaps by fusing a lifelike porcelain prosthesis between two crowns on either side. This lifelike restoration will improve the look of your smile as well as preserve your oral health. A bridge is a semi-permanent dental restoration, meaning it can only be removed by your dentist, so you can rest assured that your porcelain bridge will be a lasting restoration.

Tooth Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings replace decayed enamel and dentin to help prevent your tooth from decaying any further. Fillings rely on a bonding process that literally “glues” your filling to your tooth. This can actually act to strengthen your tooth.

Resin Bonding

For minor chips, cracks or gaps, our dentists have a solution with resin bonding. Bonding is a tooth-colored resin applied and adhered to the surface of the tooth without reducing the structure of the tooth. Bonding corrects chipped and broken teeth, discolored teeth and in some cases can correct gaps. A benefit of bonding is that generally, the natural structure of the tooth can be maintained.

Gum Contouring

If you find your smile to be too “gummy,” our dentists can use a laser to gently sculpt the tissue into a more aesthetically pleasing shape. This cosmetic procedure is called gum contouring. It’s quick and has minimal recovery time. Love your smile and boost your confidence! Ask our team about our gum contouring option.
