Porcelain Crowns

Restore the strength and beauty of damaged teeth with custom-fitted porcelain crowns that look and feel natural.

A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.

Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored) crowns are the most popular, as they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced.

Reasons for a Crown

  • Broken or fractured teeth
  • Cosmetic enhancement
  • Decayed teeth
  • Fractured fillings
  • Large fillings
  • Tooth has a root canal

Frequently Asked Questions

Why might I need a porcelain crown?
A crown is typically needed to protect a weak tooth from breaking, restore an already broken tooth, or cover a tooth with a large filling where there isn't much natural tooth structure left.
How many appointments are required for a crown?
The process usually takes two appointments. The first visit involves preparing the tooth and taking impressions, and the second visit is when the custom-made crown is permanently placed.
Do porcelain crowns stain over time?
Porcelain is highly resistant to staining, even more so than natural tooth enamel. However, it's still important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid excessive consumption of staining agents like coffee or tobacco.
