How Does It Work
Crown porcelain works by covering the damaged tooth entirely, and encasing it with a custom-made porcelain restoration. The process involves preparing the tooth by removing any decay or existing restorations, shaping it to accommodate the crown, and taking impressions. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians create a porcelain crown that matches the shape, size, and color of the patient’s natural teeth. The crown is then bonded securely to the prepared tooth, restoring its strength, function, and aesthetics.
Treatments
- Restoration of severely decayed or damaged teeth
- Protection and reinforcement of weakened or cracked teeth
- Coverage for teeth with large fillings or root canal-treated teeth
- Correction of tooth discoloration or irregularities in shape or alignment
- Cosmetic improvement of the appearance of misshapen or worn teeth
Treatment steps
- Dental examination, including X-rays and assessment of the tooth’s condition
- Tooth preparation, which involves removing any decay or old restorations and reshaping the tooth to accommodate the crown
- Taking impressions or digital scans of the prepared tooth to create a custom porcelain crown
- Placement of a temporary crown to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being fabricated
- Bonding of the final porcelain crown to the prepared tooth using dental cement or adhesive, ensuring a secure and natural-looking restoration.
Session: A session of Crown Porcelain typically refers to a single appointment dedicated to the preparation, impression-taking, and placement of a porcelain crown.
Duration: On average, it may take two to three visits, with each appointment lasting approximately 1 to 2 hours.
Painful or Painless: The process of receiving crown porcelain is generally painless. Local anesthesia is used during the tooth preparation stage to ensure patient comfort. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
