Porcelain Crowns A dental crown or “cap” is used to rebuild and cover a tooth that has been structurally compromised by decay, broken-down fillings, or trauma. Crowns can be designed with porcelain facings over metal or all-porcelain, depending on biting forces and location of the tooth in the mouth. Often patients that have significant staining, aged crown and bridgework, or teeth with large, discolored fillings are self-conscious about their appearance. All-Porcelain crowns are a beautiful, natural-looking way to achieve a fresh new look. Your porcelain crown design begins with a thorough examination of the teeth and gums to determine your smile shape, size, symmetry and overall oral health. To prepare a tooth for a crown, we remove any decay or broken filling material and shape tooth structures to serve as support for the crown. After the tooth is prepared, we will take impressions and work with temporary crown materials and shade guides to make sure that we achieve your esthetic goals for your smile. Dr. McDonald works closely with dental laboratory technicians to fabricate your custom-fitted crown and will evaluate the completed crown on appearance, fit, bite and speech function before final placement. The inherent vibrancy and translucency of porcelain makes it an excellent material to rejuvenate a smile. Contact Us today to schedule a personal consultation and let us show you before and after examples to explore possibilities for your smile makeover! |
