What Are Porcelain Crowns?

A dental crown is a meticulously crafted restoration that is placed over a vulnerable tooth to protect and enhance its strength and structure. Crowns can be used to repair chipped, cracked, broken, or decayed teeth that require extensive restoration. Highly versatile, they can serve to restore a single tooth, be fabricated to top dental implants with a natural-looking tooth replacement, complete a root canal procedure, or act as replacement teeth for a dental bridge. At True Dentistry, we utilize state-of-the-art technology to design our beautiful porcelain restorations.

How Long Do Porcelain Crowns Last?

When placed by a highly qualified cosmetic dentist, porcelain crowns are extremely durable and can often last at least a decade with the proper care. They are more likely to last many years into the future if you practice excellent oral hygiene and exercise caution when biting down on hard foods. That said, in order to keep your crowns functioning optimally, be sure to brush and floss regularly and attend your biannual routine exams

What Can I Expect During the Porcelain Crown Procedure?

Your dentist will first treat any disease or decay present in the affected tooth, completing a root canal procedure if necessary. Once all damage, disease, and decay have been removed, your dentist will ensure the tooth is fully prepared to accommodate a crown. They will then take a digital impression and enter the data into our dental imaging software to custom-design your new crown. Next, the design will serve as the blueprint to craft your new crown from precisely color-matched porcelain material. During your next visit, your dentist will place the crown over your tooth to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Once your dentist is satisfied with the fit, he or she will cement the crown in place to create a long-lasting bond.

What Results Can I Expect With a Porcelain Crown?

The majority of patients who choose porcelain crowns from our practice are impressed with the convenience and high-quality results we provide. With proper daily hygiene and regularly scheduled dental exams, porcelain crowns can last for decades.

How Much Do Porcelain Crowns Cost?

While the cost of porcelain crowns at True Dentistry usually averages between $800 and $1,700, the final price will depend on several factors, including:

  • The number of restorations
  • Materials used to create the crowns
  • Whether associated treatments (i.e. dental implants, bridges, root canal therapy, or others) were part of the treatment plan
  • The location of the affected teeth
  • Whether sedation dentistry techniques are utilized

You will receive a detailed cost quote for your porcelain crown treatment after your consultation. In the meantime, please explore our dental financing options, which we have developed in order to make the payment process as stress-free as possible for each patient. Not only do we accept all major credit cards, but we work with two healthcare financing programs, LendingClub® and CareCredit®, to help eligible patients set up installments or other specialized payment plans.
