Porcelain dental crowns, often referred to as caps, are an excellent solution for restoring and protecting teeth that have been significantly damaged or decayed. These crowns are custom-crafted to cover the entire visible portion of the affected tooth, thereby restoring its shape, appearance and functionality. Seaside Smiles prides itself on using high-quality, tooth-colored porcelain for these restorations, ensuring a natural look and feel that seamlessly blends with your existing teeth.
Porcelain crowns are not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly durable. They mimic the translucency and texture of natural enamel, offering a beautiful and long-lasting result. When you choose a porcelain dental crown, you are opting for a restoration that not only looks great but also provides superior strength and protection for your tooth.
There are several reasons why our dentists may recommend a porcelain dental crown, including:
- Protecting a tooth following root canal treatment to prevent further damage.
- Anchoring and attaching a dental bridge for a stable and permanent solution.
- Covering and completing a dental implant to restore a missing tooth.
- Enhancing the overall beauty of your smile by covering discolored or misshapen teeth.
- Strengthening a fractured or weak tooth to prevent breakage.
- Supporting a tooth with a large filling when there is insufficient natural tooth structure remaining.
The process of getting a porcelain crown typically involves two visits to our office. During the first appointment, our dentists will take precise impressions of your tooth and prepare it for the crown. You will be fitted with a temporary crown to protect your tooth while the final crown is being fabricated. At your second appointment, the permanent crown will be placed, adjusted for a perfect fit and securely bonded to your tooth.
