Restoration for Both Function and Beauty
What is a Dental Crown?
A porcelain dental crown is a custom-made dental restoration treatment that is used to cover a damaged or weakened tooth. Often crafted from porcelain, this durable material closely resembles natural tooth enamel for an incredibly natural look and feel. During fitting appointments, impressions will be taken of your teeth to create completely tailored dental crowns made of layered porcelain. Once the permanent porcelain crown is ready, we will ensure that the crown fits properly and matches the surrounding teeth in color and shape. The crown is then permanently bonded to the tooth using dental cement.
Fused-Porcelain Crownsvs All-Porcelain Crowns
Fused-porcelain crowns are a traditional method of creating crowns where porcelain is placed over a metal base. All-porcelain crowns are made exclusively of porcelain that is expertly layered to create a natural-looking tooth color and subtle transparency. Since an opaque layer of porcelain must be used on top of metal fused crowns, they tend to look more obviously unnatural. While fused porcelain crowns used to be considered more durable, advancements in dental crown technology have made all-porcelain crowns just as long-lasting, and most patients will be able to maintain either type of crown for 10 to 15 years.
