Porcelain crowns can restore the shape, size, and function of your teeth. They are ideal for concealing damage and imperfections on the front teeth, creating a natural and beautiful smile. At Cramer Dental, we offer porcelain crowns that are custom-made for each patient to ensure the best fit and aesthetics.
When to Receive Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are a great option when you have a tooth that is too damaged for fillings or other dental treatments. They provide a protective cap for cracked, discolored, or worn-out teeth. Some common reasons for getting porcelain crowns include:
- To cover cracks, stains, or other defects
- To restore broken or severely worn-out teeth
- To reinforce dental bridges
- To protect a tooth with a large filling and little remaining structure
- For cosmetic and preventive reasons
Procedure for Fitting Porcelain Crowns
The process for getting porcelain crowns typically involves two visits to our office:
- First Visit: The dentist will examine your tooth and numb the area. The tooth is then filed down to prepare for the crown. Impressions of your teeth are taken, and a temporary crown is placed.
- Second Visit: After the permanent crown is made, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is fitted and cemented into place.
Caring for Porcelain Crowns
With proper care, porcelain crowns can last for up to 15 years. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly. Avoid biting hard objects and chewing on sticky foods, as these can damage the crowns. Regular checkups with our team will help ensure your crowns remain in excellent condition.
