A porcelain crown, also known as a dental crown, is a remarkable dental restoration that serves to protect, strengthen, and enhance the appearance of a damaged or weakened tooth. Crafted from high-quality dental-grade porcelain, these crowns are carefully designed to closely match the shape, color, and translucency of natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
The process of getting a porcelain crown typically involves two main steps.
First, our dentist prepares the tooth by removing any decay or compromised structure and reshaping it to accommodate the crown.
Next, an impression is taken to create a precise mold of the tooth, which is sent to a dental laboratory for the custom fabrication of the crown.
During this time, the patient receives a temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth.
Once the permanent porcelain crown is ready, the patient returns for a final fitting, and the crown is securely bonded into place with dental cement.
Porcelain crowns offer exceptional durability and functionality, restoring the tooth's integrity and allowing it to function normally. Beyond their functional benefits, these crowns contribute significantly to improving smiles and restoring confidence. With proper oral care and regular dental check-ups, a well-maintained porcelain crown can provide lasting results, making it an invaluable solution for a variety of dental concerns.
