Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are used to restore severely broken teeth. These crowns are made of porcelain, like veneers, and look every bit as natural, leaving no black line at the gum level as seen with some traditional crowns. Crowns are extremely versatile and can be used to align crowding or protruding teeth, close gaps or lighten tooth colour. The strength and appearance of our porcelain crowns rival that of natural teeth and they are used to make long lasting changes to the smile.

Porcelain crowns can be used to mask a single dark tooth but more often are used as part of smile makeover. In the surgery the smile makeovers start at the consultation where clients tell what they don’t like about their teeth and what type of smile is required

Porcelain crowns are then provided as planned over two main treatment appointments. At the first appointment any broken down teeth are built up first then the teeth are prepared. This process involves trimming back a thin layer from around the tooth to make room for the crown. Impressions are taken and temporary crowns are made.

Porcelain crowns are then fitted at the second main treatment appointment. The crowns are fitted with a multi-layer bonding system that bonds the crowns to the teeth with unparalleled strength. The crowns are polished and bite checked and then revealed to the patients who also will be seen a few days later to check all is well when they’ve had some time to use them and eat with them. On that appointment a portrait photo is taken.
