A porcelain crown, also known as a porcelain tooth crown, is a dental restoration designed to cover and protect a tooth that is severely damaged, decayed, or weakened. Made from high-quality porcelain, these crowns are crafted to closely match the color and clarity of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile. Porcelain crowns are favored for their durability and aesthetic appeal, making them popular for many dental restorations.

When is a Porcelain Crown Needed?

Porcelain crowns are commonly recommended for various dental issues, including:

Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively damaged by cavities and cannot be restored with a filling.
Cracked or Fractured Teeth: To protect and strengthen a tooth weakened due to fractures or cracks.
Post-Endodontic Treatment: A crown is often needed after a root canal to restore the tooth’s strength and function.
Cosmetic Enhancement: To improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing look.

Porcelain Crown Procedure

Consultation: Our dental professionals will evaluate your oral health and discuss your needs during your initial visit. We’ll determine if a porcelain crown is the best option for restoring your tooth.
Tooth Preparation: We prepare the affected tooth, which involves removing any decay or damage. This step ensures a proper fit for the crown and preserves the tooth’s underlying structure.
Impression Taking: Next, we take detailed impressions of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. These impressions create a precise mold for your custom porcelain crown.
Crown Placement: We will place your crown over the prepared tooth once it is ready. We securely bond the porcelain crown after adjusting the fit and ensuring the correct bite.

Porcelain crowns cost ranges between $800 to $2500. The cost can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure and your specific needs.
