Porcelain Crowns for a Confident, Beautiful Smile
Sometimes a simple filling isn’t enough to restore a damaged or weakened tooth. In these cases, Dr. Austin Davis may recommend a porcelain crown. Porcelain crowns fully cover the affected tooth, extending down to the gum line, to provide strength, protection, and a natural appearance.
Unlike traditional metal crowns, modern porcelain crowns are designed to closely match the color and shape of your natural teeth, making them virtually undetectable. They are durable, long-lasting, and ideal for restoring both the function and appearance of your smile.
Need to Know About Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns may sound delicate, but they’re remarkably strong and durable. Unlike fragile china, the porcelain used in dental crowns is built to withstand daily use while providing a natural, lifelike appearance. Each crown is custom-colored to match your surrounding teeth, giving you a seamless smile. With proper care, a porcelain crown can protect your tooth for many years, helping prevent further damage or decay.
Not only do porcelain crowns enhance your smile, but they also provide excellent protection. The crown is custom-fitted to form a tight seal around your tooth, reinforcing it and reducing the risk of breakage. For damaged or weakened teeth, porcelain crowns are an ideal solution, offering both long-lasting stability and a beautiful, natural look.
The Porcelain Crown Procedure
With modern technology, getting a porcelain crown can often be completed in a single appointment. The process includes:
- Digital Impressions: A digital scan of your tooth is taken to create a precise crown.
- Tooth Preparation: Dr. Davis removes any decay and thoroughly cleans the tooth.
- Crown Placement: The custom-made crown is applied, adjusted for comfort and fit, and sealed with finishing materials.
- Aftercare: You’ll receive instructions to care for your crown, helping it last for years.
