What Are Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are custom-made dental caps designed to cover damaged or weakened teeth. Made from durable porcelain, our crowns restore your tooth's shape, size, and function while closely matching the natural color of surrounding teeth. Their aesthetic appeal and strength make porcelain crowns a long-lasting solution for front and back teeth.
Why Might I Need a Dental Crown?
Crowns for teeth offer a versatile solution for restoring teeth. They can address various dental issues, allowing your smile to regain its health and beauty. Common reasons you may need a dental crown include:
- Restoration of Damaged or Decayed Teeth: We use crowns to cover and protect a cracked, broken, or severely worn tooth, restoring its shape and function. It is also useful for teeth with extensive decay that cannot be effectively treated with a filling.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Our dental crowns can enhance the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or poorly aligned teeth, contributing to a more attractive and balanced smile.
- Completion of Dental Implants: In a dental implant procedure, a crown is placed on the implant to replicate the function and appearance of your natural tooth.
Our Dental Crowns Process
Our porcelain crown process begins with a personalized consultation where our dentist carefully evaluates your tooth and discusses your unique needs. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the tooth's condition, x-rays may be taken, guiding us toward the most suitable treatment. If a crown is deemed necessary, our dentist will gently prepare your affected tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it for a secure fit. We then take impressions of your tooth and the surrounding area to create a custom crown that aligns with your bite. While your permanent crown is being fabricated, typically taking one to two weeks, we'll place a temporary crown to protect your prepared tooth and keep you comfortable.
When your permanent crown is ready, we'll welcome you back for a fitting. Our dentist will carefully check the crown for proper fit and color, making any adjustments needed for comfort. Our dentist will confirm that your bite feels natural and comfortable after securely bonding the crown to your tooth with dental cement. You'll receive clear care and maintenance instructions, and we'll schedule regular checkups to help keep your crown in excellent condition. This thoughtful process restores function and aesthetics, allowing you to enjoy your smile with renewed confidence.
Porcelain Crown FAQs
We understand that getting a porcelain crown may feel intimidating and raise many questions. Our skilled team can address your questions and provide support, helping you feel comfortable during your care. Common questions regarding crowns for teeth include:
Caring for your crown is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular flossing, brushing, and routine dental visits to our office will help maintain its strength and aesthetics.
With proper care, dental crowns can last up to 15 years. Regular dental checkups with our dentist and good oral hygiene are key to maximizing their lifespan.
Choosing between a crown and a filling depends on how much damage your tooth has sustained. A crown may be more appropriate if a tooth is significantly decayed or weakened. Our dentist will evaluate your tooth and recommend treatment based on your needs.
Yes, you can eat most foods once the crown is placed. However, it's best to avoid overly sticky or hard foods that could dislodge or damage the crown, especially right after placement.
