Who Needs Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are a great choice for restoring both the function and appearance of a smile. They provide natural-looking strength and protection for teeth weakened by decay, fractures, or large fillings, as well as for those that have undergone root canal therapy. Porcelain crowns also improve comfort when chewing, making them ideal for anyone seeking relief from discomfort or enhancing the look of worn-down teeth.
Porcelain Crown Process
In your initial appointment at Sleep Dentistry Group, your dentist will start with a comprehensive examination to ensure that a crown is the appropriate solution for your dental needs.
Once confirmed, the tooth receiving the crown will be shaped to accommodate the cap. This might include filing down the tooth or building it up with a filling material if there isn’t enough tooth structure.
Next, your dentist will take an impression of the prepared tooth, which serves as a model for crafting your custom porcelain crown. While waiting for the permanent crown, a temporary one will be placed to protect your tooth.
When your porcelain crown is ready, your dentist will ensure a perfect fit and secure it with a strong adhesive. With proper care, your porcelain crown can last for many years, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth and offering protection to the tooth underneath.
