Porcelain dental crowns are a durable and aesthetic option for restoring and enhancing your smile. Designed to cover damaged or decayed teeth, these crowns are made from high-quality porcelain that closely resembles natural tooth enamel, providing a seamless and lifelike appearance. We specialize in delivering custom porcelain crowns tailored to each patient’s unique needs, offering a solution that not only restores function but also enhances your smile’s natural beauty.

Benefits of Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain dental crowns offer multiple advantages over other restoration options. Here are some key benefits:

• Natural Appearance: Porcelain crowns mimic the color, translucency and texture of natural enamel.
• Durability: These crowns are made from high-quality materials designed to withstand daily wear, ensuring a long-lasting restoration.
• Comfort and Fit: Custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, porcelain crowns provide a comfortable fit and restore normal biting and chewing functionality.
• Stain Resistance: Porcelain is resistant to stains, helping you maintain a bright and attractive smile over time.

What to Expect During the Procedure

We follow a comprehensive approach to placing porcelain crowns, ensuring a comfortable and efficient experience. The procedure begins with an initial consultation to assess your needs and create a custom treatment plan. Next, your tooth is prepared by removing a small portion of the enamel to make room for the crown. After taking precise impressions, a temporary crown may be placed while your custom porcelain crown is crafted. During your final visit, we will bond the permanent crown to your tooth, checking the fit and making adjustments to ensure comfort and stability.

Caring for Your Porcelain Crown

Proper care is essential for maintaining the look and longevity of your porcelain crown. Here are some tips to keep your crown in optimal condition:

• Brush and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup around the crown.
• Avoid chewing hard objects to protect your crown from damage.
• Visit Dr. Amogh Bhalerao and Dr. Margot Metz regularly for check-ups to monitor your crown and overall dental health.
