Porcelain Dental Crowns and Bridges

Porcelain dental crowns protect and cover cracked or damaged teeth while restoring your smile to its original strength and beauty.

Overview of Porcelain Crowns

A fractured or cracked tooth, untreated decay, or an old, large filling may leave teeth susceptible to further damage and cavities that can cause painful toothaches.

In these cases your dentist may protect the remaining tooth structure and the pulp of the tooth with a porcelain crown.

They will guard your teeth against further damage while also restoring their beauty. All-porcelain ceramic crowns are one of the most aesthetically pleasing options for repairing damaged teeth.

The Procedure

Placing porcelain crowns will take two visits. During the first visit, Dr Elaine Halley, or one of our other experienced cosmetic dentists, will remove the decayed tooth material and reshape the tooth to accept the crown. Afterwards, they will take an impression of your tooth and place a temporary crown over it.

The temporary crown, made of composite resin, will ensure that the damaged tooth doesn’t move and that there is no further wear to the tooth structure while the permanent crown is being prepared.

After they are ready to be placed, you will again visit our practice. We will remove the temporary crowns and replace them with permanent ones. Before cementing them in place, the doctor will check to ensure the shapes and colours are consistent with your surrounding teeth.

After undergoing this treatment, your bite will be stronger and healthier, and the appearance of your smile will be improved. View our cosmetic dental treatment results to see the exceptional smiles of our hundreds of satisfied patients.
