Porcelain crowns
What Are Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are a type of dental restoration specifically designed to cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth, restoring their shape, size, and function while also improving their look. Made from high-quality ceramic material, they can closely mimic the natural translucency and color of tooth enamel, making them an ideal choice for front tooth restorations. Porcelain crowns are not only favored for their natural look but also for their durability and biocompatibility. Cost of a porcelain crown may bite a bit, but it’s a solid investment in both your health and look.
Advantages
Advantages of Porcelain Crowns
Getting a porcelain crown offers some advantages for those looking to restore or make their smile better. Firstly, the actual look of a crown porcelain is close to perfection, it mimics the natural translucency and color of tooth enamel, making it virtually indistinguishable from your existing teeth. This makes a porcelain dental crown especially suitable for front teeth, where appearance matters.
Additionally, porcelain crowns are known for their durability and strength, capable of withstanding the everyday wear and tear of biting and chewing anything you throw at them. They also provide a high degree of biocompatibility, meaning they are less likely to cause any reaction or irritation to the gums and surrounding tissue as they are metall-free. Lastly, such crowns are crafted with precision, meaning they will fit your mouth perfectly.

Taking Care of Your Porcelain Dental Crowns
Caring for your porcelain dental crowns is important to maintaining their longevity and ensuring your oral health remains at its best. Following a porcelain crown procedure, it’s crucial to adopt a certain oral hygiene routine. Here are some tips and tricks to help you take care of your porcelain crown teeth effectively:
Regular Brushing and Flossing
Brush at least twice a day and floss daily. This prevents plaque buildup around your porcelain tooth crown and maintains gum health.
Avoid Hard Foods
Although a full porcelain crown is durable, it’s wise to avoid biting on hard objects or foods to prevent any damage. Just to be sure.
Use a Non-Abrasive Toothpaste
Choose a toothpaste that’s non-abrasive to maintain the gloss and integrity of your crowns.
Regular Dental Check-Ups
Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings to ensure the health of your crowns and natural teeth.
Avoid Staining Substances
While porcelain crowns are resistant to staining, minimizing exposure to substances like coffee, tea, and tobacco can keep them looking their best longer.
Sticking to these care guidelines can help prolong the life of your porcelain crowns and keep your smile bright and healthy for as long as possible.

Testimonials
What our clients say
My recent visit to the dentist for dental crowns exceeded all my expectations. The attention to detail and the dentist’s commitment to perfection were evident throughout the procedure. I’m genuinely impressed!
I can’t thank my dentist enough for the wonderful dental implants. The transformation in my oral health is remarkable. From the initial consultation to the final result, the entire journey was top-notch.
Remarkable how the dental crowns seamlessly blend with my existing teeth – a true testament to the dentist’s artistry. The procedure was comfortable, and I’m thrilled with my rejuvenated smile.
They are the best in this field. They provided quality service. Throughout the whole process, they support me like none other. Will surely recommend my friends and family.
Doctor Edward Doktorman luckily for me, has been my Dentist of choice for so many years. I have done multiple implants, root canals, bone graft, new posts and crowns, deep cleaning, filling, recementing, and other dental procedures in this office, and never had any issues afterwards. Dr. Edward and his staff are also great people on the personal level, very accommodating, very friendly, nice, helpful, go out of their ways to make the patient feel comfortable, and always smiling and joking with patients to lessen the stress of being at the dentist office. The Doctor always takes X-rays much more often than other dentists do before and after procedures (at no add’l cost to the patient) to make sure his work is done perfectly and satisfactorily. He always takes his time to explain in details what the diagnosis is and what needs to be done in an easy to understand language. You are no doubt in good hands with Doktorman.
From phone, to door, to chair, back to the door, this was a very positive experience. I put off a root canal for way too long. Don’t do that, by the way. Anyway, I ended up with a very angry abscess, went to one of those online doctors for $65 and got antibiotics and a dental rinse, and as soon as the swelling was sufficiently down, I decided to just have the tooth yanked. Back molar, not going to miss it too much, a lot cheaper than even going to Los Algones Mexico for a root canal which honestly these days makes a lot more sense than having it done for the higher price (even when factoring in air fare and hotel for dental tourism to Mexico) here in the States. In any case, everyone, and I mean everyone at this office is so friendly and polite and professional and efficient. It just so happened, and I certainly can’t guarantee this nor could this dentist, but I ended up being charged slightly less than the estimate they gave me. Even had it been the top and of the estimate, it’s still would have been a good deal. I would add that I am not a fan of Novocaine at all, and have had dental work done before without the shot because the regular pain I can handle, but I’m a baby about the Novocaine shot. This time I didn’t want to mess around since I was having a tooth pulled, but the dentist gave a fantastic shot and the entire procedure he did an excellent job. The healing process has been going very well with the exception of a bit of sharp bone sticking out the inner side of my gum (according to Google, this is not abnormal after a tooth extraction) and attacking my tongue on that side. I let them know about this today which is a Monday. I’m not scheduled to be back to have the stitches out until Thursday, but they told me that they would fit me in tomorrow.So let’s review: everyone in that office is friendly, professional, responsive, accommodating and efficient, the pricing is very gentle, and the dentist himself Dr. Doktorman does excellent work. So if you’re anywhere in reasonable commute distance and in need of a dentist, this seems like a pretty obvious choice. Going to a dentist is not recreational, but seriously, you’re going to be happy with them here.

Frequently Asked Questions
How strong are porcelain crowns?
Porcelain crowns are renowned for their strength and durability. While not as strong as metal or zirconia crowns, modern porcelain materials used in crowns have significantly improved in strength over the years. When properly fabricated and bonded to the tooth, porcelain crowns can withstand normal biting and chewing forces with ease.
How long do porcelain crowns last?
The lifespan of porcelain crowns can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene habits, bite force, and the quality of the crown itself. On average, well-maintained porcelain crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or more. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral care, including brushing, flossing, and routine professional cleanings, can help prolong the lifespan of porcelain crowns.
What is better, porcelain or zirconia crowns?
The choice between porcelain and zirconia crowns depends on various factors, including individual preferences, aesthetic goals, and specific dental needs. Porcelain crowns are known for their natural appearance and translucency, making them an excellent choice for front teeth where aesthetics are crucial. On the other hand, zirconia crowns are prized for their exceptional strength and durability, making them suitable for back teeth subjected to heavy biting forces. Ultimately, the best option for you will be determined by your dentist based on your unique situation and treatment goals.
How much are porcelain crowns?
The cost of porcelain crowns depends on several factors, including the type of porcelain used, the location of the dental practice, and any additional procedures required (such as preparatory work on the tooth or multiple crowns). Prices can vary widely, but generally, porcelain crowns tend to be moderately priced compared to other crown materials. It’s best to consult with your dentist for a personalized cost estimate based on your specific needs and circumstances.
