Porcelain Crowns: Medical Dental Solutions for a Variety of Complications
Posted on 10/11/2021 by SRD Tuscumbia
If you are a dental patient looking for a long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing solution to your damaged teeth, porcelain crowns may be the answer. Porcelain crowns provide an alternative to metal fillings and can be used in place of other treatments such as bridges or dentures. They have been used successfully by our office for over 10 years with great results. This blog post will explore what they are, how they work, and why so many patients choose them as their treatment plan. We hope you find it helpful!
What Are Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns cover the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original form and function. The process of getting porcelain crowns typically takes two appointments at our office, with a couple of weeks of recovery time in between. The first appointment will take about an hour, where we prepare the tooth by removing any decay, reshaping it, and preparing for your crown to be made at our on-site dental lab. You can expect local anesthesia at this visit, but some patients may need sedation or general anesthesia, depending on their specific case.
Who can benefit most from Porcelain Crowns?
While we can use them to treat almost any tooth restoration need, porcelain crowns are most commonly recommended for patients with cracked teeth or those who have had root canal work done. If you have a large filling that has become damaged over time, this is also an excellent alternative to getting your tooth drilled and filled.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are aesthetically pleasing and natural appearing. They function just like your natural teeth making it possible to eat, drink and speak normally throughout treatment as if nothing has changed. Many patients choose porcelain crowns because they don't require cementation with metal posts that can discolor their tooth's front or cause sensitivity issues after placement.
We hope this blog post has given you some insight into what porcelain crowns are and the many benefits they offer. If you have any questions, comments, or need our help with anything else, please call us at (number) or contact us online via email here.
