A dental crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, is a durable tooth-shaped covering that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Porcelain dental crowns are designed to match the color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking restoration that protects and strengthens the underlying tooth.
Crowns are one of the most versatile restorations in dentistry. They can be used to protect a weakened tooth from further damage, restore a broken or severely worn tooth, cover a tooth with a large filling, hold a dental bridge in place, or finish off a dental implant with a beautiful, functional replacement tooth.
You May Need a Crown If:
- Your tooth has extensive decay or damage that cannot be repaired with a filling
- You have had a root canal and the tooth needs protection from fracturing
- There is more filling material than remaining tooth structure
- You need to finish off a dental implant with a natural-looking replacement tooth
The Porcelain Crown Process
The dental crown process typically requires two visits to our office. During the first visit, Dr. Marvizi or Dr. Rayhan will prepare the tooth by carefully removing a layer of enamel and dentin to make room for the crown. An impression or digital scan is then taken of the prepared tooth and the surrounding teeth, which will serve as a model for creating your custom crown.
A temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth to protect it while your permanent crown is being fabricated at our dental laboratory. The lab uses the model of your teeth to craft a porcelain crown that matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
At your second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent porcelain crown is carefully fitted and adjusted for proper bite and comfort. Once you and your dentist are satisfied with the fit and appearance, the crown is permanently cemented into place, restoring your tooth to its full function and beauty.
