At Contemporary Dentistry & Implantology in Peabody, MA, our specialist Prosthodontist uses advanced digital technology to craft and place high-quality porcelain crowns (caps) that restore broken, decayed, or damaged teeth. By combining precision and artistry, we create restorations that are not only durable but also natural-looking, enhancing both the appearance and functionality of your teeth.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are a popular choice due to their natural and radiant appearance. They are highly durable and can last for many years with proper care. These restorations are ideal for:
- Restoring broken or severely decayed teeth.
- Protecting teeth after root canal therapy.
- Improving the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
- Providing support for dental bridges.
While porcelain crowns are long-lasting, they may require repair or replacement over time due to regular wear or other factors.
The Digital Crown Process
Our practice utilizes state-of-the-art digital technology for the design, fabrication, and placement of porcelain crowns, ensuring precise results and a seamless experience. The procedure typically involves two appointments:
- First Appointment: Using digital scanners, we capture accurate 3D images of your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional impressions. These scans are used to design your custom porcelain crown. While your crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth.
- Second Appointment: Once your custom crown is ready (typically within two weeks), we will carefully remove the temporary crown and thoroughly clean the tooth. The new porcelain crown will then be securely bonded in place, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit.
Long-Lasting Results with Proper Care
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain crowns can provide many years of reliable function and aesthetics. Maintaining regular dental visits, practicing good oral hygiene, and avoiding excessive biting pressure on hard objects will help extend the life of your crown.
