A tooth that has suffered a major fracture, extensive wear or significant loss of tooth structure does not always need to be extracted. In many cases it can be restored with a porcelain crown.
The crown covers the tooth and restores its shape, function and appearance. Porcelain allows a shade to be selected that blends in with the natural teeth, creating a discreet result.
Before the treatment is chosen, the dentist assesses how much healthy tooth structure remains, the condition of the root and gums, and the forces the tooth is subjected to during chewing.
At the Athanasios Nikitopoulos dental practice in Kalamata, personalised planning is carried out for porcelain crowns and bridges, tooth reconstruction and other modern prosthetic restorations.
