Although dental crowns can be made of a variety of materials, including stainless steel, gold, and silver, nothing looks better than a porcelain dental crown. Porcelain dental crowns match the natural color of your teeth, and are virtually undetectable by the naked eye. Because they're metal-free, porcelain dental crowns are an excellent option for patients with metal allergies. Best of all, porcelain crowns don't just look beautiful - they're long-lasting too!

FAQ Questions

How long will my crown last?

Porcelain crowns usually last at least 15 years with proper care and maintenance, and it’s not uncommon for crowns to last 20+ years. The porcelain ceramic materials used to build your crown are very durable and similar to your enamel in strength and hardness, so you can expect your crown to last a very long time.

How long do crowns take to settle in?

Within a few days it should feel fine, and you will not notice it. Sometimes the crown may feel slightly high in the bite. Usually this will resolve within 10 days and the crown will need no adjustment. If it still does not feel right after this time has elapsed then please ask us to check and adjust it.

How do I take care of a dental crown?

You can treat a dental crown just like a natural tooth. Brush twice a day and floss once a day, and make sure to book an oral exam and teeth cleaning every six months.

Can you get a cavity under a crown?

As your crown is made from a special synthetic material, it's not possible to get a cavity in the crown itself. However, a cavity can develop in the tooth your crown is attached to.
