Porcelain Crown: We Have You Covered

A porcelain crown can look like a natural tooth

If you’re self-conscious about cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth, we can bring back your healthy, natural-looking smile with dental crowns, also called caps. A porcelain crown can return structure, strength, beauty and function to a tooth with extensive decay or damage. Designed to fit snugly and function as a healthy tooth, dental crowns will protect your teeth from further damage and preserve the jaw’s correct natural alignment.

We use precious metal, porcelain pressed (or fused) to metal, or all-porcelain dental crowns. To maintain a fully white smile, we recommend all-ceramic dental crowns. Our precise color-matching system allows us to find the right shade of porcelain for your porcelain crown to blend with your natural tooth color. A porcelain crowns is also extremely durable and long lasting, and these benefits make them popular with dentists as well as patients.

Typically, we can design, fit, and place your dental crowns in just a couple of short appointments. Once a metal or porcelain crown is placed, you can care for it as you do your natural teeth. Conscientious brushing twice a day and daily flossing will protect the base of your dental crowns from bacterial growth. Be sure to see us at least two times each year for professional cleanings and a preventive exam, too.
