Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

For the best cosmetic result and for longevity I would recommend all ceramic crowns such as IPS Empresor some of the new lithium disilicate porcelain crowns such as CAD/ Cam Emax crowns or pressed porcelain Emax.We have used Cerinate porcelain for over 25 years and I have multiple cases that still look great after 25 years in the mouth.We decide which porcelain to use on a case by case basis. You do not want to use porcelain to metal unless there is some unusual circumstance that requires it.Dr. Schleicher832-476-1572hans@schleicherdental.comGo to my website at www.schleicherdental.com and look at some of our cases.

The best crown will be all porcelain, such as IPS Empress, since all porcelain crown will not exhibit grey gingival margin, less cement leakage due to the bonding procedure, better translucently, much better esthetics. You will enjoy a lifelike restoration if you go with an all porcelain crowns. It looks and feels very natural. We guarantee all our works and our price is very reasonable. Please make an appointment so we can show you many case from our patients whose condition is similar to yours. Hope we can help you.
