Protect and Restore Your Teeth

What Are Porcelain Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, function, and appearance. These custom restorations protect teeth that have been compromised by decay, cracks, large fillings, or root canal therapy. At Briggs Family Dental in New Market, VA, your crown is precisely crafted from high-quality porcelain to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.


Thanks to CEREC technology, you can often receive your permanent crown in just one visit. This same-day restoration process eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. Your new crown not only saves your natural tooth but also provides years of reliable function, allowing you to bite and chew normally while maintaining a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

Protection That Preserves Teeth

Benefits of Porcelain Dental Crowns

A damaged tooth doesn’t have to mean losing it. Dental crowns provide lasting protection while maintaining your natural tooth root, allowing normal eating and preventing further decay or breakage that could lead to more extensive treatment later.
Protect and Strengthen Damaged Teeth
Teeth that are cracked, worn, or weakened by decay are at risk for further damage. Porcelain crowns fit securely over the entire visible portion of the tooth, holding it together and shielding it from future harm.
Damaged teeth are often highly sensitive to temperature and pressure. By covering and insulating the tooth, a porcelain crown eliminates discomfort and allows you to eat and drink with ease.
It’s difficult to chew properly with a compromised tooth. A porcelain crown restores the tooth’s original shape and strength, so you can enjoy all your favorite foods again.
Porcelain crowns can be used to correct the color, shape, size, and alignment of teeth that are discolored, misshapen, or slightly misaligned. Enjoy a more balanced, attractive smile.
Porcelain crowns can be used to replace one or more missing teeth when attached to a dental bridge or implant. It’s a stable, natural-looking solution for a gap in your smile.
Porcelain closely mimics the translucency and sheen of natural tooth enamel. Your crown will be color-matched to your surrounding teeth for a seamless, authentic look.

Durable, Natural-Looking Restoration

Who Are Porcelain Dental Crowns For?

Dental crowns are a versatile restorative solution for a wide range of patients. They are especially beneficial for those with extensive tooth decay, damage, or cosmetic imperfections who want a durable, natural-looking way to protect and enhance their smiles.

Patients with Significant Tooth Decay

When a cavity is too large for a filling, a porcelain crown can restore the tooth’s strength, function, and appearance.

Those with Cracked or Broken Teeth

Teeth that have been fractured or worn down due to injury or grinding can be rebuilt and protected with custom-crafted crowns.

Anyone Wanting to Improve Smile Aesthetics

Misshapen, discolored, or slightly misaligned teeth can be transformed with the help of porcelain crowns for a more symmetrical, attractive smile.

Restoring Strength & Beauty

Our Porcelain Dental 
Crown Process

Porcelain dental crowns are a durable, natural-looking solution for repairing damaged or decayed teeth. At Briggs Family Dental, we use advanced technology to create custom crowns that blend seamlessly with your smile.
Restoring Strength & Beauty
1

Preparing Your Tooth

We begin by gently reshaping your tooth to make room for the crown. We take great care to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible. If your tooth is severely damaged, we may need to build it up with filling material to support the crown.
2

Precise Digital Impressions

Using advanced digital scanning technology, we take highly accurate impressions of your prepared tooth. This digital approach is more comfortable than traditional putty impressions and allows us to create a precise model of your tooth for optimal crown fit and function.
3

Customized Crown Creation

Using your digital impressions, our skilled lab technicians craft a custom porcelain crown that matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. We use high-quality materials that are durable, stain-resistant, and blend seamlessly with your smile. In most cases, we can place your final crown in just two visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Porcelain Dental Crowns FAQs

Dental crown procedures raise important questions about timing, materials, and longevity. This section provides comprehensive answers to help patients understand the crown process from start to finish. Learn what makes modern crowns both durable and natural-looking.

What is a porcelain dental crown?

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:

  • To protect a weakened tooth from further damage or decay
  • To restore a severely worn down, chipped, or cracked tooth
  • To support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough natural tooth structure remaining
  • To anchor a dental bridge
  • To cover a dental implant
  • To improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth
  • To protect a tooth after root canal therapy

 

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:

  • Natural appearance: Porcelain closely resembles the translucency and color of natural tooth enamel, creating a seamless, lifelike restoration.
  • Durability: High-quality dental porcelain is strong and resistant to wear, ensuring long-lasting results with proper care.
  • Biocompatibility: Porcelain is a biocompatible material that is gentle on gum tissue and rarely causes allergic reactions.
  • Stain-resistance: Porcelain crowns are resistant to staining and discoloration, maintaining their beautiful appearance over time.
  • Versatility: Porcelain crowns can be used for both front and back teeth, providing a comprehensive restorative solution.

 

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:

  • Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
  • Flossing daily to remove plaque and food particles around your crown
  • Avoiding hard, sticky, or sugary foods that can damage your crown
  • Wearing a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth
  • Attending regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Briggs Family Dental

 

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:

  • Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
  • Flossing daily to remove plaque and food particles around your crown and gum line
  • Using an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce the risk of decay and infection
  • Avoiding biting or chewing on hard objects, such as ice or pen caps
  • Wearing a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth
  • Attending regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Briggs Family Dental

 

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.
