Porcelain Crowns

What Are Porcelain Crowns?

Porcelain crowns, also sometimes called ceramic crowns or porcelain teeth, are tooth-shaped caps that are custom-made to restore a damaged tooth. They are often the go-to solution when a tooth is too weak or compromised to be effectively repaired with a filling. Porcelain crowns encase the entire visible portion of the tooth, providing strength, stability, and improved functionality. They are crafted from high-quality porcelain material designed to mimic the natural look of tooth enamel, allowing them to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. This makes them a suitable option for both front and back teeth.

Ready To Look Like A Celebrity?

Ever wished you had a celebrity smile? With porcelain dental crowns, that dream can be your reality! Here's why porcelain crowns are the perfect solution for a dazzling, picture-perfect smile!

  • Red Carpet Ready:  Porcelain crowns are crafted from a special type of ceramic that mimics the natural translucency and color of tooth enamel. Unlike older crowns, they blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, giving you a stunning, natural look that's indistinguishable from real teeth. No more metal lines or fake-looking crowns!
  • Strength & Beauty Combined:  Don't be fooled by their delicate appearance. Porcelain crowns are incredibly strong and durable, able to withstand years of biting and chewing. They'll protect your damaged teeth while giving you a smile that shines with confidence.
  • Renew Your Confidence:  Cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth can hold you back from smiling freely. Porcelain crowns can cover these imperfections, giving you back a smile you're proud to show off. Whether it's a big presentation, a first date, or just everyday interactions, you'll project confidence and leave a lasting impression.
  • Long-lasting Investment:  High-quality porcelain crowns are built to last, lasting for over a decade with proper care. That means you can enjoy the benefits of a beautiful smile for years to come, making them a worthwhile investment in your oral health and happiness.

Ideal Candidates for Porcelain Crowns

  • People with Damaged Teeth:  Cracks, chips, fractures – porcelain crowns can effectively reinforce and protect weakened teeth, preventing further damage and potential loss.
  • Severely Worn Teeth:  Over time, teeth can wear down due to grinding, aging, or acidic foods. Crowns restore the tooth's shape, size, and function, allowing you to chew comfortably.
  • Large Fillings:  If a tooth has a significant cavity or requires multiple fillings, a crown might be a more secure and long-lasting solution compared to just fillings.
  • Cosmetically Displeased Teeth:  Discoloration, misshapen teeth, or uneven smiles can all be addressed with porcelain crowns. They can create a uniform, bright, and aesthetically pleasing smile.
  • Root Canal Treated Teeth:  After a root canal, the tooth becomes brittle. A crown protects the weakened tooth structure and prevents future breakage.
  • Implant Restoration:  Porcelain crowns are often used as the final piece on top of dental implants, creating a natural-looking and functional replacement tooth.

Before & Afters

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a porcelain crown if I have bruxism (teeth grinding)?

Yes, individuals with bruxism (teeth grinding) can still get porcelain crowns, but additional precautions may be necessary to protect the crowns from damage. Your dentist may recommend wearing a custom-made night guard while sleeping to prevent excessive wear and tear on the crowns and underlying teeth.

How long does the color of a porcelain crown last?

The color of a porcelain crown is stable and resistant to staining, allowing it to maintain its natural appearance for many years. However, gradual changes in tooth color due to aging, lifestyle factors, or dental procedures may necessitate periodic adjustments or replacement of the crown to maintain a consistent aesthetic result.

Can porcelain crowns be used to replace old or worn-out dental restorations?

Yes, porcelain crowns can be used to replace old or worn-out dental restorations such as metal crowns, amalgam fillings, or composite resin restorations. Porcelain crowns provide a durable and aesthetic solution for restoring the appearance and function of teeth with existing dental work.

Are porcelain crowns suitable for all teeth?

Porcelain crowns can be used to restore most teeth in the mouth, including molars, premolars, canines, and incisors. However, the location, function, and condition of the tooth will influence the treatment plan and choice of restoration. Your dentist will assess your individual needs to determine if a porcelain crown is the best option for your specific case.

Do porcelain crowns require special maintenance compared to natural teeth?

Porcelain crowns do not require special maintenance beyond regular oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. It's essential to avoid abrasive toothpaste and harsh mouthwashes that can scratch or damage the surface of the crown. Your dentist may recommend a non-abrasive toothpaste specifically formulated for use with porcelain restorations.

Will my porcelain crown look natural?

Yes, porcelain crowns are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking appearance. Porcelain mimics the translucency and reflectivity of natural tooth enamel, allowing the crown to blend harmoniously with surrounding teeth.

Are porcelain crowns stain-resistant?

Porcelain crowns are highly resistant to staining and discoloration compared to natural teeth or composite resin restorations. However, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid habits such as smoking or consuming staining substances like coffee, tea, or red wine to preserve the appearance of the crown.
