What Are Porcelain Crowns?

Porcelain crowns, also known as dental caps, are tooth-shaped covers that encase the entire visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. These crowns are crafted from high-quality porcelain, which closely resembles the natural color and translucency of your teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural appearance.

The Porcelain Crown Placement Process

The porcelain crown placement process at Central Valley Dentistry typically involves the following steps:

1. Comprehensive Consultation: During your initial visit, our dentist will examine your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine if porcelain crowns are the best solution for your needs.
2. Tooth Preparation: If a crown is recommended, the affected tooth will be prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel to accommodate the crown.
3. Impressions: Precise impressions of your prepared tooth will be taken to create a custom-fitted porcelain crown.
4. Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being crafted, a temporary crown may be placed to protect the prepared tooth.
5. Custom Crown Fabrication: Skilled technicians will create your porcelain crown, ensuring it matches your natural teeth in color and shape.
6. Crown Placement: Once your crown is ready, it will be securely bonded to your prepared tooth, completing the restoration.
7. Final Adjustments: Our dental team will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your new crown fits comfortably and functions optimally.
