PORCELAIN CROWNS

WHAT ARE PORCELAIN CROWNS?

Porcelain crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their appearance, strength, and functionality. Made from high-quality, tooth-colored materials, Porcelain Dental Crowns closely mimic the natural look of teeth, blending seamlessly into your smile.

These crowns are versatile and can address various dental concerns, including protecting a tooth after a root canal, repairing a cracked or worn tooth, and improving the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS

Without proper care, teeth can become vulnerable to damage and decay, leading to discomfort and difficulty eating. Common risk factors that may necessitate a Porcelain Crown Procedure include:

  • Extensive cavities or decay
  • Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
  • Teeth weakened by root canal treatment
  • Excessive wear due to grinding (bruxism)

 

Ignoring these issues can lead to further complications. Protect your oral health with Affordable Porcelain Crowns today.

SYMPTOMS THAT MAY REQUIRE PORCELAIN CROWNS

You might need Porcelain Crowns if you experience:

  • Pain when biting down or chewing
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold foods
  • Visible cracks or chips in your teeth
  • Discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening treatments

Many patients are surprised at the large amount of surface area that we examine during an oral exam. At every hygiene visit, we examine all the tissues of your mouth, including gums, cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw.

It is just as important to have regular soft tissue screenings as it is to have a professional dental cleaning.
Oral cancer can afflict anyone, although tobacco users put themselves at a significantly higher risk than non-users. Chewing tobacco has up to 3000 different chemicals, including the same compounds used in pesticides and embalming fluid.

Cellular changes below the surface aren’t always detectable until they’ve advanced to a critical stage.Early detection and treatment of oral cancer can significantly increase your chances of a quick and complete recovery. The American Cancer Society reports that about 7,000 deaths result from oral cancer out of 30,000 cases diagnosed annually.

Oral cancer often develops silently, presenting no apparent symptoms in its early stages. Our dentists at North Texas Family and Cosmetic Dentistry utilize oral cancer awareness tactics so that even regular screenings allow abnormalities to be detected early, improving treatment outcomes and significantly reducing risks.

LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR DENTAL HEALTH​

Porcelain crowns typically last 5 to 15 years, depending on proper oral hygiene, wear and tear, and regular dental visits. Patients who maintain excellent oral care by brushing twice daily, flossing, and visiting their dentist for checkups can enjoy longer-lasting crowns.

Porcelain crowns offer both functional and cosmetic benefits:

 

  • Stain resistance: These crowns resist discoloration, so your smile remains white and bright even after consuming stain-prone foods and drinks like coffee or wine
  • Natural appearance: Porcelain crowns mimic the color and translucency of natural teeth, making them ideal for front teeth.
  • Durability: While not as strong as metal crowns, porcelain crowns are robust enough to handle normal biting and chewing forces.
  • Improved confidence: Porcelain crowns enhance your smile and self-esteem by restoring damaged or discolored teeth.

 

These crowns are a versatile solution, blending aesthetics and functionality seamlessly.

Porcelain crowns are designed to be durable but not entirely immune to cracking. Common reasons for cracks include:
  • Aging:The material may weaken over time, especially if the crown has been in place for over a decade.
  • Trauma: Accidents such as biting on something hard (e.g., ice or popcorn kernels) or injuries to the mouth can cause fractures.
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism):Excessive clenching can put undue stress on the crown, leading to damage.

The cost of porcelain crowns in Garland varies depending on factors like:

  • The material used (pure porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia)
  • The complexity of the case and the preparation required
  • Whether additional treatments, such as root canals or gum therapy, are needed beforehand
  • Your dental insurance coverage and benefits
