At Dentist of Montclair, we understand the discomfort and reduced confidence that broken, damaged, or weakened teeth can cause. Porcelain crowns offer a natural-looking solution to alleviate pain, enhance tooth function, and boost your self-esteem.
A dental crown serves as a protective "cap" covering your entire visible tooth, effectively becoming the surface of your tooth. We choose porcelain to craft our crowns because it closely mimics the appearance and functionality of your natural teeth. We collaborate with you to design a porcelain crown that perfectly fits your tooth and smile, ensuring your satisfaction.
Porcelain crowns offer a multitude of benefits, surpassing cosmetic enhancement. They closely resemble natural teeth in appearance, blending seamlessly. Renowned for their durability, they withstand regular chewing and provide long-lasting protection. Custom-made for a precise fit, they ensure comfort and preserve much of the original tooth structure. Versatile in addressing various dental issues, they are biocompatible and long-lasting, often up to 15 years with proper care. Beyond functionality, porcelain crowns enhance your smile's aesthetics by concealing imperfections, such as discoloration or cracks, boosting your confidence in your smile while promoting improved oral health and natural bite alignment.
Porcelain crowns shield your teeth from further harm and restore their strength, offering long-lasting protection. Typically, no additional treatment is required apart from your regular biannual visits to our comfortable office.
Dental crowns offer a natural-looking and durable solution for broken teeth while improving your smile's overall appearance. They provide essential stability, ensuring the safety of your damaged tooth and adjacent teeth for up to 15 years.
Inlays and onlays are primarily used to treat cavities. Inlays are used to fill cavities, while onlays may be suggested if one or more cusps need covering. When a tooth is too weak or damaged for even an onlay, a crown is the recommended treatment. Porcelain crowns cover the entire tooth, ensuring comprehensive protection and reduced future issues.
First, we invite you to visit our office for a dental crown consultation, examination, and x-rays. This allows us to create a personalized dental crown treatment plan tailored to your needs and preferences. Next, we will take impressions of your teeth to ensure a natural and comfortable fit for your crown. Any existing decay or infection will be removed to protect your tooth.
While your permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will be placed to safeguard your tooth. Temporary crowns are created on-site using either stainless steel or an acrylic-based material.
In a few weeks, you will return to our office, where Dr. Omid Barkhordar and our skilled staff will use our specialized and durable cement to securely bond your crown in place. Your confident new smile will be ready to show the world!
With proper care, your porcelain crowns can last a lifetime, although they typically last between 5 to 15 years before replacement may be necessary. To keep your crown in excellent condition, continue your regular dental hygiene routine.
We recommend avoiding sticky or hard foods, such as candies or popcorn kernels, which could potentially crack or dislodge your crown. Biannual visits to our office will help us address any issues promptly, preventing future damage.
The cost of your porcelain crown treatment is influenced by several factors, including the tooth's location, crown material, and tooth size. If a crown is the suitable treatment for you, Dentist of Montclair's team will work with you to create the right plan and discuss payment options.
