A crown is a porcelain sheath that covers your existing tooth, reinstating it’s original size and shape while strengthening and protecting your tooth.

The most common crown restoration placed today utilizes a metal lining covered with porcelain.

The Advantage of Porcelain

Unlike old metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, the all-porcelain crown is a visually ideal repair.  Porcelain has the same polish and shine as dental enamel and it responds to thermal changes in a similar fashion - minimizing heat sensitivity or possible thermal cracking of the teeth.

Additionally, because porcelain has the same hardness as tooth enamel, the crown will never damage nor will be damaged by your other teeth. To make sure you take advantage of the full and maximum lifespan of your porcelain crown restoration, treat them as you would your original teeth, with good dental hygiene and regular check-ups and cleanings.
