Dental Crowns (Porcelain)

All metal dental crowns are an excellent choice for people who grind their teeth. These dental crowns can be made with white gold or yellow gold. Your gum tissue reacts very favorably to the gold since it is biologically inert and antibacterial material. The gold dental crowns have been around for the longest period of time and have been noted to have the highest longevity in ideal situations.

Crowns are great for most patients, especially those with broken or fractured teeth. Crowns not only help to enhance the look of the smile, but they can help in restoring function to an area of the mouth that is worn or sensitive. They even protect the tooth underneath by covering it fully from bacteria and plaque. Crowns are long-lasting, incredibly durable, they restore your smile, help you eat, and replace the lost tooth structure.

We first administer local anesthetic so that the crown procedure is comfortable. The tooth is then prepared to receive the crown. Impressions will then be taken of the tooth and surrounding area so that a new restoration can be made.

You will come in for a second appointment to have the permanent crown placed with medical-grade adhesive. The fit and bite of the crown will be slightly adjusted and you’ll be ready to enjoy your new restoration.

If you would like to schedule an appointment to come in for a porcelain crown, call us today and we will be happy to further assist you.

The dental crowns are very easy to take care of, the patient needs to brush and floss as they normally do on the other teeth. The margins of dental crowns are prone to decay or dental cavity formation if they are not kept clean. Waterpik is also helpful in keeping the margins of dental crowns clean.
