Crowns made of porcelain are strong and don’t require special care or maintenance other than continuing with your normal daily dental routines.
Dental crowns replace decayed, damaged or discolored teeth. Different kinds of materials are used to create crowns. You can get ceramic crowns, also called porcelain crowns, zirconia crowns or various metal alloy crowns.

Read More About Porcelain Crown
Crowns are designed to completely cover your damaged teeth and improve your appearance. They cover damaged teeth from an accident, teeth that had root canals or teeth that yellowed with age. They replace decayed teeth that can’t be saved and also are ideal to attach a bridge or to cover an implant.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry reports that: “Dental porcelain can be sculpted to closely replicate the look of natural tooth enamel while providing desirable strength and resilience. Porcelain dental crowns are an excellent choice when recreating the form and function of a damaged tooth, because a crown basically replaces the entire external portion of the tooth down to the gum level. Crowns are not limited to simply replacing the original tooth, but can be designed to create an even better esthetic appearance.”
Porcelain crowns typically last from five years to 15 years, but can last longer. Your porcelain crown cost depends on how many teeth you have replaced and where the missing teeth are located. Porcelain crown cost is a good investment if you’re looking for a stable and effective solution for tooth replacement. They usually cost less than BruxZir crowns and eMax crowns.
Your dental team at CitiDental goes over all the costs prior to the procedure. They also answer the question of how long do porcelain crowns last and what kind of payment plans are available. Your dental team works with you so that affordable dentistry can be your best option!
Porcelain crowns usually require at least two visits to complete the procedure. Initially, your Queens dentist prepares your teeth by removing decay and the outer layer of the teeth to be restored. He makes a mold of your teeth to create unique models for the crowns.
You may receive a temporary crown until your permanent replacement is created in the lab, usually a process that takes less than two weeks. After the permanent porcelain crown is ready, it’s fit to the proper tooth and any necessary adjustments are made. Once you’re satisfied, your cosmetic dentist cements the dental cap permanently.
Every dental procedure carries risks of complications. You may end up being allergic to the materials used to make the crown or to the medicine used to numb your mouth. Allergic reactions to porcelain are extremely rare. Since your cosmetic dentist also serves as your family dentist, he’s aware of your medical history and dental goals.
While waiting for your porcelain crown to be completed, you may experience an increase in sensitivity to extreme temperatures. An infection can lead to an abscess in the tooth’s root after it was prepared for the crown. If you feel intense pain during this time, contact your dentist. You may need a root canal.
Porcelain crowns feel just like all the other teeth in your mouth. And their care is basically the same as your regular daily hygiene has always been — daily brushing and flossing, and visits to your family dentist bi-annually for checkups and cleanings.
Report any extensive discomfort or pain that lasts more a few days to your dentist. If your porcelain crown chips or cracks, see your dentist immediately, as repairs may be possible. CitiDental is prepared for emergency dental issues, and they work quickly to maintain your smile makeover.
