A porcelain crown is a white restoration created in a dental lab to fit snugly over the portion of a tooth that extends above the gum line. Porcelain crowns restore structure, function, and natural beauty to a tooth compromised by damage or decay.
The procedure of restoring using porcelain crowns requires two appointments. During the first visit, Dr. Fitzgerald will take an impression, prepare your tooth, and place a temporary crown. Between visits, a dental ceramist will craft your restoration in a dental lab. Your final appointment will involve permanent placement of a new porcelain crown. Dr. Fitzgerald will make sure that you leave with a comfortable bite, so your new crown will look and function just like the original healthy tooth. Porcelain crowns are often an excellent solution to enhancing the beauty of your smile.
