Restoring Strength & Beauty
Frequently Asked Questions
A porcelain dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Briggs Family Dental, we use advanced dental porcelain that closely mimics the translucency and color of natural tooth enamel, creating a seamless, natural-looking restoration. Porcelain crowns are custom-made to fit your unique smile and provide long-lasting protection for your tooth.
Dr. Briggs may recommend a porcelain dental crown for various reasons, including:
If you have any of these issues, a porcelain dental crown can help restore your tooth’s function,
strength, and appearance.
Porcelain dental crowns offer several advantages over other restorative materials, such as metal or resin.
These benefits include:
At Briggs Family Dental, we believe that porcelain dental crowns offer the best combination
of aesthetics, durability, and functionality for our patients.
Getting a porcelain dental crown typically requires two visits to Briggs Family Dental. During the first visit, Dr. Briggs will prepare your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the crown. He will then take precise impressions of your tooth, which will be used to create your custom porcelain crown. A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is being crafted. At your second visit, Dr. Briggs will remove the temporary crown and carefully check the fit, color, and appearance of your new porcelain crown before cementing it in place. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable, natural-looking fit.
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain dental crowns can last 10–15 years or more.
The longevity of your crown depends on factors such as your oral hygiene habits, diet,
and the amount of wear and tear the crown is exposed to. To help your porcelain crown last as long as possible, we recommend:
By following these guidelines and maintaining good oral hygiene, you can help ensure your porcelain crown
provides long-lasting function and beauty.
The process of getting a porcelain dental crown is generally not painful. Before preparing your tooth, Dr. Briggs will numb the area with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. You may experience some sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any post-treatment discomfort. If you experience prolonged or severe pain, contact Briggs Family Dental right away.
Yes, at Briggs Family Dental, we offer CEREC technology, which allows us to create and place your porcelain crown in a single visit. Using digital impressions and advanced CAD/CAM software, we can design, mill, and place your custom porcelain crown in just one appointment, eliminating the need for a temporary crown and a second visit. CEREC crowns offer the same durability, strength, and aesthetics as traditional lab-fabricated porcelain crowns, with the added convenience of same-day treatment.
The cost of a porcelain dental crown varies depending on factors such as the location of the tooth, the complexity of the case, and your dental insurance coverage. At Briggs Family Dental, we believe in transparent pricing and will provide you with a detailed cost estimate before beginning treatment. We also offer flexible financing options and will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits, making your porcelain crown as affordable as possible. Don’t let cost concerns keep you from achieving a healthy, beautiful smile – contact our office to discuss your options.
Caring for your porcelain dental crown is similar to maintaining your natural teeth.
To keep your crown and surrounding teeth healthy, we recommend:
By following these guidelines, you can help your porcelain crown last longer and maintain its natural appearance.
If your porcelain crown falls off or becomes damaged, contact Briggs Family Dental immediately. Avoid attempting to reattach the crown yourself, as this can lead to further damage or decay. In the meantime, you can use dental wax or temporary filling material to cover any sharp edges and protect the exposed tooth. Dr. Briggs will assess the situation and determine the best course of action, which may involve re-cementing the existing crown or creating a new one. Remember, prompt treatment is essential to prevent further damage and maintain your oral health.
