Porcelain Crowns: What Are They?

Dental porcelain crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover the tooth’s visible surface. It’s like having a whole new tooth in terms of appearance and function without having to extract the natural tooth underneath. Porcelain crowns can be sculpted and colored to match the natural tooth and the neighboring teeth. They are long-lasting materials that can last up to 25 years if properly cared for.

What are the Advantages of Porcelain Crowns?

Porcelain crowns can be used to restore a natural appearance after a variety of problems. The list contains cases in which the tooth has experienced extensive enamel erosion, tooth decay, or injury from excessive grinding. Porcelain crowns can support the tooth’s strength in addition to assisting with function and beauty. The procedure has grown in popularity in recent years due to its cheap and painless ease.

During the procedure, what happens?

A consultation with a dentist is required prior to the placement of a porcelain crown. H- Town Dental will do a thorough review of the problem at this point to ensure that porcelain crowns are the best option. Meanwhile, the expert will go through the timings, specifics, and costs in greater depth.

This appointment is also an opportunity for the dentist to guarantee that the porcelain crown is custom-made for your mouth. Before the next consultation, impressions are taken and sent to the lab to be customized. In the meanwhile, a temporary crown can be utilized. The crown is fitted at the second appointment. The porcelain crown is put over the tooth, which will have been shaped before this procedure, after the area has been numbed with anesthesia. Special dental cement is used to hold it in place. The dentist will then examine your bite and make any necessary changes.
