Porcelain Crowns
Dental crowns are customized caps shaped like a tooth. A crown fits over a damaged tooth like a little hat. Crowns protect weakened, worn-down teeth. They can also cover dental implants and teeth treated by root canals. They can even anchor a dental bridge into position. Longhorn Dental of Farmersville provides beautiful, durable porcelain crowns that can last up to 15 years with good dental hygiene.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are particularly durable and can be made to look like your natural teeth. Fused with metal, they are durable and can last for many years. Because your Farmersville dentist matches the porcelain to your original tooth color, you can smile confidently without anyone realizing you’re wearing a crown. We can create crowns to match both front and back teeth.
Porcelain Crowns: The Process
Creating and placing a crown over a tooth may take two or more appointments.
- During the first appointment, we prepare your tooth for a temporary crown by filing off some of the original enamel to make space for the crown.
- We also take impressions of your teeth so we can create a porcelain crown that matches your original tooth.
- We will attach a temporary crown to protect the tooth during the two or three weeks it takes for the dental lab to design your unique porcelain crown. These temporary crowns are typically made from acrylic or resin.
- When your permanent porcelain crown is ready, we will schedule an appointment for you to come and have it placed and cemented to your tooth.
As long as you take good care of your teeth, a porcelain crown should last for about 15 years before it needs to be replaced.
