Porcelain Dental Crowns Roseville, CA

Porcelain dental crowns are a popular and effective way to restore damaged or weakened teeth. If you have a tooth that has sustained significant damage due to decay, trauma or wear, our dentist may recommend a porcelain crown. These crowns are custom-made to fit perfectly over the visible portion of your tooth, restoring its strength, appearance and function. One of the key benefits of porcelain is that it closely resembles natural tooth enamel, making the crown blend seamlessly with your other teeth for a natural-looking smile.

Porcelain crowns are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of situations. Dr. Sara Zeidan may recommend a porcelain crown to protect a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy, which can leave the tooth more fragile. Crowns can also be used to cover a dental implant, complete a dental bridge or reinforce a tooth with a large filling that no longer has enough natural structure to stay strong on its own. They can also help correct cosmetic issues, such as misshapen or severely discolored teeth.

The process of getting a porcelain crown typically involves two visits to the dental office. During your first visit, our skilled dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any damaged or decayed areas. Impressions are then taken to create your custom crown. A temporary crown will be placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being made. Once the permanent crown is ready, you will return for the second appointment, where we will securely bond the porcelain crown in place.

With proper care, porcelain crowns can last for many years, providing you with a durable and natural-looking restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a porcelain dental crown?

A porcelain dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers the visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. It is designed to restore the tooth’s function, shape, and appearance. Porcelain closely mimics the look of natural enamel, making it a popular choice for patients who want a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. Porcelain crowns can be used to repair a tooth after significant damage or decay, complete a dental implant, or improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth.

How long does a porcelain crown last?

With proper care, a porcelain crown can last 10 to 15 years, or even longer. Maintaining good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups, can extend the lifespan of your crown. Avoiding habits like grinding your teeth or chewing hard objects can also help prevent damage. While porcelain is durable, it is not indestructible, so it is important to treat your crown with care.

What can I expect during the porcelain crown procedure?

The porcelain crown procedure typically involves two visits to the dental office. During the first visit, our dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damaged areas. Impressions will be taken to create a custom crown. You will be fitted with a temporary crown while the permanent one is being made. At the second appointment, our dentist will place and bond the porcelain crown securely onto your tooth. The process is straightforward, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.

Can porcelain crowns be used for cosmetic purposes?

Yes, porcelain crowns are commonly used for cosmetic purposes. If you have a misshapen, discolored, or damaged tooth, a porcelain crown can improve its appearance while also restoring its function. Since porcelain mimics the color and texture of natural teeth, the crown blends seamlessly into your smile, making it an ideal option for enhancing the aesthetics of your teeth.

How do I care for my porcelain dental crown?

Caring for a porcelain dental crown is similar to caring for your natural teeth. You should brush at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss daily, and visit our dentist regularly for cleanings and exams. Avoid biting on hard objects like ice or using your teeth as tools, as these can chip or damage the crown. With proper care, your porcelain crown can provide long-lasting results.
