Porcelain Crowns are A Natural-looking Solution to Restore Your Tooth’s Structure and Appearance

There are multiple occasions when your teeth don’t look or feel as you’d prefer. Some can be oddly small, leaving significant gaps. Others may not match the shape or shade of the adjacent teeth. At times, decay or damage may leave your teeth looking unattractive and painful when chewing. Porcelain crowns are excellent solutions to cosmetically enhance misshapen or discolored teeth and improve the health of broken or decayed teeth.

Why do I need dental crowns?

An odd tooth that doesn’t match with the rest of your teeth can diminish your confidence. Whether this dental imperfection has been part of your life or acquired recently through an accident, there is a solution. Porcelain crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover your entire tooth to improve its health and appearance. 

Porcelain crowns are ideal for fixing teeth issues involving their size, shape, color, and health. These are the many reasons you would need a dental crown.

• To strengthen a weakened, broken, or cracked tooth
• To secure a dental bridge
• To complete the dental implant treatment
• To cosmetically improve a discolored or misshapen tooth
• To replace an old, large filling
• To stabilize your tooth after root canal treatment

Dr. Matthew Scaffa ensures proper placement and installation of dental crowns for a precise fit and natural look. Our dental crowns last as many as 15 years, but a poorly fitted one lasts only a few years. Furthermore, we create crowns that blend naturally with the other teeth for a stunning smile that looks natural.

What to expect from dental crown treatment

We are pleased you chose us to restore your smile with dental crown treatment. We’ll ensure we expertly place your crown to support your smile for many years. When you visit our dental office for dental crown treatment, these are the steps involved.

• Examining your tooth with digital x-rays to determine if a dental crown is the best restoration.
• Numbing your tooth to minimize discomfort during enamel shaving.
• If your tooth is decayed, we remove the traces of decay and then shave down your enamel to create space for a crown.
• We take your bite impressions using a digital scanner. Our ceramists will use these images to create your crown.
• Once we receive your crown, we’ll make a few necessary changes to ensure they fit and look natural.
• When all is set, we use dental cement to bond your crown permanently to your tooth.

That’s all it takes to restore your smile with dental crowns. It only takes a few steps, but you get a restoration that lasts many years.

The benefits of porcelain crowns

While several types of dental crowns exist — including metal and gold crowns — we prefer porcelain crowns because they are versatile for rebuilding the front and back teeth. 

Here are some advantages of porcelain crowns:

• Life-looking
• Durability
• Stain-resistance
• They fit comfortably in your mouth
• Biocompatibility
