Why Might I Need Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are often needed when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a simple filling or bonding. Common reasons for needing a porcelain crown include severely decayed teeth, cracked or fractured teeth ,large fillings or cosmetic improvements.
Porcelain Crown Process
During the first visit, we will assess the health of your tooth and determine if a porcelain crown is the best solution for you. To make room for the crown, a small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth. This ensures the crown will fit properly. We will then take an impression of the tooth, which is sent to a dental lab to custom-make your porcelain crown. While your permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth. You'll return for your second visit once your custom porcelain crown is ready. The temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is fitted and cemented in place. We will check the fit and bite to ensure comfort and functionality.
Benefits of Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain Crowns are strong and durable making it resistant from wear and tear from chewing a biting. They can last many years with proper care. Once in place, crowns can restore the full function of your tooth and we can match the crown colour to your natural tooth shape colour and size, making them look natural.
