Scottsdale Porcelain Crown

A beautiful smile in Scottsdale can start with two words: porcelain crown. A porcelain crown is made entirely of porcelain or other ceramic material.

A crown is a dental restoration that covers your entire tooth. It used to be that any crown had to have some metal in it for strength. Today, we can make them completely out of porcelain, meaning that they can look very aesthetic and natural. A porcelain crown has been known to have the nicest appearance. It mimics the appearance of your natural tooth to the point where it is difficult to tell that it is even there.

A porcelain crown may be necessary to correct and repair:

• Old broken down fillings
• Fractured or chipped teeth
• Sensitive teeth

Crowns are also used to improve the appearance of natural teeth that are malformed, malpositioned or discolored.

Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your teeth.

Fitting a crown usually requires at least two appointments to complete the procedure. During your first visit, the tooth is prepared for the crown, an impression or mold is made of the tooth, and a temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth. During the following visit, the temporary crown is removed and the final crown is fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place.
