What Is a Porcelain Crown?
A crown is used to repair a tooth that has been damaged, injured, or fractured beyond the scope of what a dental filling can repair. We also use it in cosmetic dentistry to conceal tooth flaws to the gumline. In tooth replacement, dental crowns connect bridge teeth to natural teeth and top single dental implant posts.
Commonly, a tooth crown fits over the remaining structure of your natural tooth like a "cap" and protects both your tooth and root, while providing the same function that your own tooth did. All-porcelain crowns are durable and designed to last for many years with proper care and maintenance. They're also aesthetically appealing because they can be custom-blended to match your smile.
What Is a Dental Implant Crown?
Porcelain crowns are the last phase of a dental implant procedure. After your bone has healed from implant surgery, your dentist will custom-design a porcelain crown that attaches to your dental implant and serves as your new tooth. Implants are by far the best choice when replacing a tooth because they most closely mimic your natural tooth.
