Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain Dental Crowns FAQs
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.
Why would I need a porcelain dental crown?
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.
What are the benefits of choosing porcelain dental crowns?
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.
What is the process of getting a porcelain dental crown?
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.
How long do porcelain dental crowns last?
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.
Are porcelain dental crowns painful?
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.
Can I get a porcelain crown in one visit with CEREC technology?
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.
How much do porcelain dental crowns cost?
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.
How do I care for my porcelain dental crown?
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.
What if my porcelain crown falls off or becomes damaged?
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.
