Porcelain Dental Crowns

A crown, also known as a cap, strengthens and protects teeth that have become damaged or weakened. Crowns repair and correct teeth that are:

• Worn
• Unusually small
• Irregularly shaped
• A fractured tooth since a crown will hold it together
• A tooth with a large cavity that is too large for a filling
   
  
   
• A tooth with an old filling of significant size
• A tooth after a root canal procedure because your tooth is more brittle. Since it is more fragile, it may break under biting pressure
• A severely worn-down tooth
• A tooth with an old crown that needs to be replaced for:

1. Cosmetic reasons
2. Due to fracture
3. Due to decay.

Crowns can be made out of different materials: ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, metal, etc. A tooth-colored porcelain crown will improve the appearance of your smile. Hence, porcelain crowns are an important tool in the cosmetic dentistry arsenal.

Dental crowns: a two-step procedure

At least two visits are required to handle a crown fitting.

We will remove all decay during the first consultation and reshape the tooth. We will also take an impression and fit a temporary crown made from either metal or plastic.

We will remove the temporary piece in the second visit, followed by fitting and readjusting as necessary. We will then put the crown into place with cement.
