Goodlettsville Dental Services

When it comes to single tooth replacement in the esthetic zone, an implant-supported crown is often the treatment of choice because it requires no preparation or involvement of other teeth and still provides excellent results. At Rivergate Dental Care in Goodlettsville, we specialize in implants and crowns.

A natural tooth has a crown, visible above the gum line, and a root hidden below the gum line. In the case of an Implant supported crown, the implant takes the role of the root where as prosthetic crown replaces the natural crown.

Types of Crowns

The implant supported crown could be made of metal, ceramic, or porcelain fused to metal. Dr. Weaver will evaluate your unique needs and situations and will recommend the type of materials which could be used.

Ceramic Crowns could be made of porcelain, resins or other dental ceramic materials. Being extremely natural-looking, are typically used on front teeth. The tooth-colored ceramic material is translucent, like the enamel of your natural teeth, and size and shade can be carefully matched to complement the rest of your smile. However, ceramic dental crowns are not as resilient as other crowns and are not the first choice in case of back teeth replacements, which sustain a lot of pressure from biting and chewing.

Porcelain Crowns fused to metal (PFM) are not only stronger than all-ceramic versions, they are aesthetically pleasing and are the material of choice in replacements of both front and back teeth.
