Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?

Porcelain crowns are custom-made, tooth-shaped caps designed to cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. They are crafted from durable, lifelike ceramic materials that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

Aesthetic Appeal: Porcelain closely mimics the translucence and lustre of natural tooth enamel.
Strength & Durability: Modern porcelain materials can withstand normal chewing forces, making them suitable for many patients.
Long-Term Protection: A crown helps shield the underlying tooth from further decay or fracture, reducing the need for more invasive treatments in the future.

At Confidental Cosmetic Dentistry, our experienced dentists assess your dental needs and tailor a restorative plan just for you.

Our Process for Porcelain Crowns

Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough examination, including x-rays and a discussion about your goals and budget.
Tooth Preparation
A small layer of tooth enamel is gently removed to make room for the crown. We’ll also take digital or traditional impressions to ensure a precise fit.
Temporary Crown
You’ll typically receive a temporary crown while your final porcelain restoration is crafted in a dental laboratory.
Fitting & Bonding
Once the permanent crown is ready, we’ll check the fit, colour, and bite. With your approval, we bond the crown in place for long-lasting protection and aesthetics.

FAQ

Common Questions About Porcelain Crowns

Below are some trending questions about porcelain crowns. We’ve provided concise answers to help you make an informed decision about your treatment.

How long do porcelain tooth crowns last?

With proper oral hygiene (regular brushing and flossing) and routine check-ups, porcelain crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years—sometimes even longer. Avoiding hard or sticky foods and visiting us for annual examinations can further extend your crown’s lifespan.

What is the disadvantage of porcelain crowns?

While porcelain crowns offer excellent aesthetics and natural feel, they:

May be prone to chipping if exposed to excessive force or grinding.
Require tooth preparation, meaning a thin layer of your natural tooth is removed to accommodate the crown.
Can be more costly compared to some other materials (like metal crowns).

Our team will help you decide if porcelain is the best option based on your bite, budget, and cosmetic goals.

Which is better: ceramic or porcelain crowns?

The terms “ceramic” and “porcelain” are often used interchangeably because porcelain is a type of ceramic. Some crowns use zirconia (another ceramic) for increased strength, especially for back teeth. Ultimately, the best choice depends on factors like tooth location, gum health, and personal preference.

Are porcelain crowns expensive?

Porcelain crowns can be more expensive than metal-based alternatives due to their aesthetic quality and lifelike appearance. However, many patients find the long-term benefits and confidence boost well worth the investment. At Confidental Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer flexible payment options, including Zip Pay, to make your treatment more accessible.

Do I need a root canal before a crown?

Not always. While a root canal may be necessary if your tooth is infected or severely decayed, many patients receive porcelain crowns simply to restore a cracked or damaged tooth. Our dentists will conduct a thorough assessment and x-rays to determine if root canal therapy is needed first.

What if my porcelain crown falls off?

If your crown becomes dislodged or loose, contact us immediately. We can often re-cement it if the underlying tooth is still healthy. Regular check-ups help us catch any issues—like underlying decay—before they compromise the crown’s integrity.

Are porcelain crowns better than veneers?

Crowns and veneers address different concerns:

Crowns: Cover the entire tooth, ideal for extensive damage or when significant strength is needed.
Veneers: Cover only the front surface of the tooth, primarily for cosmetic enhancements when the underlying tooth is still strong and healthy.

We’ll recommend the option that best fits your clinical needs and cosmetic preferences.
