Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain dental crowns are a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing solution to restoring and protecting a damaged tooth. They are used to cover a tooth that may have been weakened or damaged due to decay, trauma, or a large filling. Porcelain dental crowns are custom-made to fit the natural shape of a patient’s tooth and are colored to match the shade of the existing teeth.

A porcelain dental crown is crafted from a high-grade porcelain material that is both strong and durable. It is designed to last for many years with proper care and maintenance. The porcelain material is also highly resistant to staining and discoloration. This makes porcelain dental crowns great for restoring damaged teeth and protecting them from further damage.

Beechwold Dental Care offers same-day porcelain crowns using our on-site CEREC machine to make your crown during your first visit without the need for a temporary crown or a second visit.

The process of getting a metal-base porcelain dental crown typically takes two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared for the crown by removing any existing decay and shaping the tooth to fit the crown. An impression of the tooth will then be taken so that the crown can be made in a dental lab. On the second visit, the crown will be fitted and a permanent cement will be used to secure it in place.

While porcelain dental crowns offer many benefits, it is important to remember that they are not indestructible. Good oral hygiene practices should be followed to ensure the crown lasts as long as possible. This includes brushing and flossing daily, using a fluoride toothpaste, and regularly visiting the dentist for check-ups and cleanings.

Porcelain dental crowns can be a great way to restore the appearance and function of a damaged tooth.
