What Are Porcelain Crowns?
A porcelain crown is a cap placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Porcelain crowns are highly regarded for their natural appearance and durability. They are custom-designed to match the natural color and structure of your teeth, ensuring that they blend seamlessly with your smile. Porcelain crowns are particularly ideal for visible areas, such as the front teeth, due to their ability to mimic the look of natural tooth enamel.

The Porcelain Crown Procedure
Getting a porcelain crown involves several steps to ensure a proper fit and durable result. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
During your first visit, we’ll assess the condition of your tooth and determine if a porcelain crown is the best option.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown. Any decay or damage is removed, and the tooth is filed down to create space for the crown.
Impressions
We take precise impressions of your tooth to create a custom porcelain crown that fits perfectly.
Temporary Crown
While your permanent crown is being made, we’ll place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
Fitting and Bonding
Once the permanent porcelain crown is ready, we’ll ensure it fits perfectly before bonding it securely to your tooth.
