What is a porcelain crown?
A crown protects and strengthens severely decayed or fractured teeth. Porcelain crowns are custom made in a dental laboratory for your individual smile.
How is a porcelain crown placed?
The tooth is shaped for a crown, and then an impression is taken to give a highly accurate reproduction of the shape of the tooth. A provisional restoration is temporarily cemented on the tooth, and the mold is sent to a dental laboratory where a custom crown is fabricated. The crown is then cemented to the tooth.
Why do I need a porcelain crown?
Porcelain crowns can be used to fix gaps, cover stained, chipped, worn, or crooked teeth, or to change the size of teeth.
Advantages:
Porcelain is strong, aesthetic, and one of the longest-lasting cosmetic solutions.
Disadvantages:
Crowns may need to be replaced or re-cemented due to normal wear.
Other possible treatments:
If a tooth is so badly decayed that it cannot be crowned, it will need to be removed and a bridge or implant will need to be placed.
