Porcelain Dental Crowns Restore Your Tooth’s Function without Compromising its Beauty
Cracked or decayed teeth can damage your smile and make every meal a chore. Over time, the compromised teeth can weaken and eventually need removal. But guess what? With dental crowns in Newport Beach, California, extensively damaged teeth don’t always require extraction. Porcelain crowns installed by Dr. Stephen Alfano at Balboa Island Dentistry can restore your teeth’ strength, beauty, and health. Visit us today, and we’ll give your compromised tooth a second chance.
The dental crown procedure
When your tooth is damaged, there is hope that it will heal on its own. Unfortunately, this is never the case. In fact, your tooth worsens each day that passes without addressing the situation. The good news is that we can protect and restore your compromised tooth with a dental crown.
The dental crown treatment involves the simple steps below:
- Examining your tooth to ensure it’s eligible for a dental crown
- If your tooth can be restored with a crown, we numb your gums and reshape your tooth to create space for a crown
- We take impressions of the prepped tooth to fabricate a perfect-fitting crown
- We place a temporary crown until your permanent crown is ready
- Once your permanent crown arrives, you’ll book another appointment with our office for its placement
- We’ll use dental cement to bond your new crown permanently to your tooth
Dental crowns are popular in dentistry because they serve numerous cosmetic and functional purposes. Dental crowns can restore damaged teeth, protect a weak tooth, replace missing teeth, and cosmetically improve a severely discolored, misshapen, or rotated tooth.
Benefits of dental crowns
A dental cap or crown encapsulates your entire tooth to strengthen and protect it from further damage. No matter how damaged your tooth is, a dental crown allows you to smile, eat, and speak confidently.
The other benefits of dental crowns include the following:
- Durable — dental crowns can last for 15 years and above
- Porcelain crowns are stain-resistant
- Easy to maintain
- Porcelain crowns are natural-looking for a seamless appearance
- All-ceramic dental crowns are biocompatible with your body
- The procedure is straightforward
