A porcelain crown does more than hold a weakened tooth in one piece. It can also make your smile look better and feel more comfortable day to day. Because porcelain catches light in a natural way, it fits in with your other teeth instead of drawing attention. A dental crown can give extra support to teeth that have had decay or older fillings that aren’t holding up anymore.
Each custom porcelain crown is shaped to work with your bite and sit comfortably beside your surrounding teeth. That balance of support and a real-tooth look helps many people keep their healthy teeth longer.
Porcelain Crowns Procedure
The dental crown procedure happens in a couple of steps, and Dr. Baldwin walks you through each one. First, he looks at the tooth and the nearby healthy teeth to make sure a crown is the right call. After that, Dr. Baldwin shapes the tooth just enough to make room for the crown, then takes a precise mold so the lab can create one that fits properly. A temporary crown covers the tooth while the final one is being created. At your next visit, the new crown is tried in, adjusted, and permanently bonded. The dental crown process is meant to protect the tooth, restore function, and give you something that feels steady when you bite down.
