Porcelain crowns restore the strength, shape, and appearance of a damaged tooth while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. They’re ideal for protecting teeth after large fillings, root canals, or fractures.
A porcelain crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the entire visible portion of your tooth. It’s custom-made to match your surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural and long-lasting result that restores both function and aesthetics.
Your dentist will reshape the tooth and take precise digital or physical impressions. A temporary crown is placed while your custom crown is crafted in the lab. At your next visit, the final crown is fitted and permanently bonded.
Compared to composite fillings or onlays, crowns provide superior protection and durability for severely damaged teeth, restoring full function and aesthetics.
Brush and floss daily as normal, paying special attention to the gum line. Avoid chewing very hard foods for the first few days. Regular dental check-ups help ensure your crown stays secure and clean.
