Find a reliable and long-lasting solution for restoring the strength, function, and appearance of damaged or weakened teeth. Our custom-made crowns are designed to blend with your natural teeth, providing durable protection while enhancing your smile’s overall aesthetics. Whether you need to repair a cracked tooth or restore a tooth after a root canal, crowns offer a versatile and effective solution.
Dental crowns are designed to restore the full function of a damaged tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
We design your crowns to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. No one will even know you have a crown.
Built to last, crowns offer a long-term solution for tooth restoration. With proper care, your crown can last 10-15 years or more.
Once your treatment plan is confirmed, the next step is to prepare the affected tooth. Dr. Goetz will gently remove any decay and shape the tooth to ensure a proper fit for the crown.
Your permanent crown is meticulously crafted in a dental laboratory using high-quality materials. This process typically takes about a week, during which time we ensure that your crown is durable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Goetz will assess the condition of your tooth and discuss your treatment options. If a crown is recommended, we will take digital models of your tooth to design a crown that fits and blends with your bite and surrounding teeth.
After the tooth is prepared, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated in a dental laboratory. This temporary crown will allow you to eat and speak normally, although you may need to take special care until the permanent crown is in place.
Once your custom crown is ready, you will return to Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics for the final placement. Dr. Goetz will carefully remove the temporary crown and place the permanent crown, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. The crown is then bonded to your tooth using a strong adhesive, restoring the full function and appearance of your tooth.
Porcelain Crowns FAQ
When you have a severely damaged tooth, a filling or bonding may not be strong enough to repair it. Then, you may need a dental crown to restore function and aesthetics to your mouth. Porcelain Crowns are a great option for front tooth restoration because they provide outstanding aesthetics.
Most dental insurance companies do not typically cover cosmetic procedures. However, you should always ask your insurance about coverage for dental crowns because benefits vary from one company (or dental plan) to another. If you have a PPO plan, and your insurance provides you with some kind of coverage, we will be happy to send everything to your company so you get reimbursed directly to your home after the treatment.
Porcelain Crowns are long lasting and very resilient. However, as with most restorations, you should be careful and avoid biting on hard foods or doing anything that can hurt your crown (avoid misusing your teeth to open packages or bottle caps, for example). With a regular dental care and proper hygiene (to stop bacteria from leaking in under your crown) your porcelain crown should last 10-20 years.
Porcelain crowns are normally safely cemented to your tooth or implant and they fit very well. However, if you feel your crowned tooth has become too sensitive, or if your crown feels wobbly, contact your dentist asap to get your crown properly placed again. You will only need to replace your crown if it cracks, chips or gets loose. But with proper care, none of these problems should affect your treatment. As a general rule, see your dentist every six months and you will make sure your teeth are fine and your crown does not need replacement.
Because porcelain crowns are completely made of porcelain (and not fused to metal) they won’t leave a dark line over your gums in case your gum line recedes. All porcelain crowns provide outstanding aesthetics to your mouth, and they represent a cosmetic improvement over older metal-ceramic crowns which typically left a dark grey line a short time after treatment.
