When is it time for porcelain crowns?
Since they are used to repair chips, cracks and similar tooth damage, there are two reasons when you might need porcelain crowns.
The first reason occurs when there is simply not enough natural tooth structure remaining to repair any chips or cracks in your teeth.
This is probably the most common reason.
A second instance where you might need porcelain crowns occurs when your existing crowns are cosmetically inadequate.
Your Porcelain Crowns
Crowns completely cover a damaged tooth. The unsightly metal typically associated with crowns are no longer necessary in crown fabrication.
Today, Zirconia oxide cores replace the old metal cores to give you an all porcelain crown that truly looks and feels like a real tooth.
They are custom-created for you to either match your existing teeth or give you a whole new smile.
The crowns are made from an impression of your mouth, so the entire process takes about two or three appointments over the course of a couple of weeks.
First the tooth or teeth are prepared, an impression is taken and temporary crowns are placed.
The tooth crowns are then designed and fabricated at the laboratory by certified dental technicians. They are typically inserted the following visit.
