Porcelain crowns

advantages of porcelain restorations

Porcelain crowns offer the ultimate solution for restoring and protecting damaged teeth. By covering the entire tooth, a porcelain crown can bring it back to its natural or ideal shape and shade. Crowns are also an excellent option for correcting crooked, worn, or damaged teeth, giving you a smile that not only looks perfect but feels great too.

Porcelain bridges are an effective way to replace missing teeth, restoring both the appearance and function of your smile. These restorations are particularly ideal if the surrounding teeth have large fillings, fractures, or damage, as the porcelain bridge not only fills the gap but also strengthens and protects the adjacent teeth.

Our crowns and bridges are crafted by skilled ceramists who specialize in high-quality, custom porcelain restorations. Porcelain crowns are incredibly strong, and when bonded in place, they reinforce the remaining tooth structure. Crowns can also be used preventatively, protecting teeth from future fractures or decay, ensuring long-term health and stability.

porcelain crowns and bridges can correct dental imperfections such as:

• Stains and discoloration
• Spaces between teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Badly decayed teeth
• Crooked teeth or bite misalignment
• Tooth size or wear
• Fractured or broken teeth
• Need to protect and strengthen teeth

what to expect at your crown appointment:

At a crown appointment, you can expect a comfortable and efficient process designed to restore both the function and beauty of your tooth. Here’s our typical process:

• Initial Examination and Preparation: Our doctor will begin by thoroughly examining the tooth to ensure it’s healthy enough for a crown. If necessary, any decay or damage will be carefully removed, and the tooth will be shaped to accommodate the crown. This step ensures the crown will fit securely and look natural.

• Digital Impressions: We use advanced digital technology to take precise impressions of your tooth. These digital scans allow us to design a custom porcelain crown that perfectly matches the shape and shade of your natural teeth.

• Temporary Crown: While your custom crown is being crafted by our skilled ceramists, you’ll receive a temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth. This ensures you can eat and speak comfortably while you wait for your final restoration.

• Final Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, you’ll return for the final appointment. Our doctor will remove the temporary crown and bond the custom porcelain crown securely in place. The crown will be adjusted for a perfect fit, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth for a natural appearance.

• Polishing and Final Check: After your crown is placed, it will be carefully polished, and our team will make sure your bite is comfortable. You’ll leave with a beautiful, durable restoration that protects and enhances your smile.
