Crowns

Porcelain Dental Crowns

The dentist can restore your damaged teeth and greatly improve their strength, appearance, and longevity with individually custom-fitted and manufactured porcelain Dental Crowns which resemble the tone and contour of your natural teeth.

First, your dentist will reduce and contour the tooth. An impression of your teeth and gums is made and sent to a lab for fabrication. In the interim, you’ll receive a temporary Dental Crown. When your new Dental Crown is ready, it is placed on your tooth where it is then cemented in place.

Porcelain Dental Crowns are recommended after Root Canal treatment because the tooth is left brittle and prone to fracturing which could result in the need to extract the tooth. Some patients decide not to get a Dental Crown due to cost. This could result in a fracture that more than likely cannot be restored. The result will cost you more time and money than you had originally planned for.

Some dental benefit insurance companies will cover part of the costs.
