Porcelain Crowns (Caps)

Dental crowns are a versatile solution designed to protect and strengthen damaged teeth. Whether a tooth has been broken, chipped, or cracked due to trauma or decay, crowns offer a reliable method of restoration. Porcelain crowns are particularly popular because they match the natural color of your teeth, blending in seamlessly for a beautiful, natural appearance.

Beyond their protective benefits, dental crowns can also enhance the cosmetic appearance of your smile. If you have a discolored or misshapen tooth, a porcelain crown can be crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth, creating a cohesive and attractive smile.

Who Is A Good Candidate?

The good news is that almost everyone is a good candidate for a dental crown. To determine if a dental crown is right for you, schedule an appointment with your dentist, who will consider several factors. Dental crowns are typically used to restore severely damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth, making them an excellent option for cracked or chipped teeth. The location of the damaged tooth also matters, with front teeth requiring a more aesthetically pleasing restoration and back teeth needing a more durable option to withstand chewing forces. Good overall oral health is essential, so any existing dental issues like gum disease or cavities may need treatment first. Additionally, a commitment to good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups is crucial for the longevity of dental crowns. If you’re dedicated to maintaining your oral health, a dental crown could be an excellent solution for you.

Benefits Of Porcelain Crowns

One of the main reasons patients opt for porcelain crowns is to enhance the look of their teeth and smile. These crowns are color-matched to your natural teeth, ensuring they look and feel completely natural.

Porcelain crowns are incredibly durable, lasting between 5 and 15 years with proper care. Unlike other dental restorations, they maintain their color over time, ensuring a lasting, bright smile.

In addition to aesthetic benefits, porcelain crowns strengthen your teeth, contributing to better oral health and preventing further damage.

Porcelain crowns can alleviate discomfort from cracked or chipped teeth by protecting them from further damage and reducing pain.

Each porcelain crown is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, eliminating gaps and ensuring a natural look.

Procedure & Process Of Getting Porcelain Crowns

Once you and your dentist decide that a dental crown is the best treatment option for your tooth, the next step is to prepare the tooth for the crown. Here’s what to expect:

Your journey begins with a consultation with one of our specialists. During this visit, we’ll discuss your goals, answer any questions, and determine if porcelain crowns are the right option for you.

To ensure your comfort, we will numb the affected tooth and the surrounding area before beginning the procedure.

After numbing, we will remove any decay or damage from the tooth and shape it to fit the crown securely. This may involve removing some of the tooth structure to create space for the crown.

Once the tooth is prepared, we will take an impression or mold of the tooth and surrounding area to create a custom crown that fits precisely.

While your permanent crown is being made, we may place a temporary crown over the tooth to protect it and maintain its function and appearance.

When the permanent crown is ready, we will remove the temporary crown and place the permanent one over the prepared tooth. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and proper function.
