Keep Your Smile Healthy and Beautiful with Quality Porcelain Crowns
Maintaining a healthy and stunning smile is crucial for overall well-being. Since tooth decay is a prevalent global health concern, it is essential to address it promptly and effectively. At Montclair Dental Care in Oakland, California, we are dedicated to providing high-quality restorative care to maintain the functionality and beauty of your smile. Led by Dr. Kenneth L. Childers, our practice specializes in using quality porcelain crowns to restore and protect your teeth.
What Are Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are a popular option for restoring teeth that have experienced substantial damage or decay. Unlike traditional fillings, which might leave your tooth vulnerable to future issues, crowns provide comprehensive coverage and support. They are especially beneficial for larger cavities or teeth undergoing root canal therapy. Crowns are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile while offering long-lasting durability.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
- Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Porcelain crowns are renowned for their natural appearance. The material closely resembles the look and feel of natural teeth, making it an excellent option for restoring visible teeth.
- Durability and Strength: Porcelain is highly durable and resistant to damage from wear and tear. A well-crafted porcelain crown can last many years with proper care, providing reliable protection for your tooth.
- Protection and Support: Crowns cover and protect teeth that have been weakened by decay or damage. They help maintain the tooth’s strength and prevent further issues, offering superior coverage compared to large fillings.
- Versatility: Porcelain crowns can be used in various situations, including:
- Holding together a broken or damaged tooth
- Covering up a tooth that is irregularly shaped or discolored
- Supporting replacement teeth as part of a dental bridge
- Serving as the visible part of a replacement tooth connected to a dental implant
What Is the Procedure for Getting a Porcelain Crown?
Getting a porcelain crown typically involves a two-visit process:
First Visit: Dr. Childers will prepare the affected tooth, remove any decay, and shape it to fit the crown. An impression will be taken to ensure the crown matches the contours of your tooth. A temporary crown will be placed while the permanent one is fabricated in the lab.
Second Visit: Once the custom porcelain crown is ready, it will be carefully fitted and secured to your tooth. Dr. Childers will ensure it aligns perfectly and make any necessary adjustments for a comfortable and natural fit.
