Porcelain Crowns: Restore and Protect
A severely damaged or decayed tooth can cause cosmetic problems, sensitivity, and discomfort. Porcelain crowns are an excellent solution for strengthening and restoring a tooth while preserving as much of the natural structure as possible. At Chiu Aesthetics in Highlands Ranch, CO, Dr. Chiu frequently uses porcelain crowns to protect a tooth, especially after a root canal, and to avoid the need for extraction.These crowns not only restore the tooth’s function but also improve its appearance, making them an ideal choice for addressing both cosmetic and practical concerns.
Benefits of Porcelain Crowns
A porcelain crown not only reinforces a weakened tooth but also enhances the overall look of your smile. Premium porcelain crowns come with a variety of benefits, including:
- Increased strength and longevity of the tooth
- Safeguarding against additional damage or decay
- Restoration of the tooth’s natural shape
- Enhanced visual appeal
- Flawless, natural-looking results
Porcelain Crowns Procedure
During your consultation, Dr. Chiu will perform a comprehensive oral examination, discuss your goals, and determine if a porcelain crown is the right choice for you. Each crown is carefully designed to ensure optimal function, aesthetics, and comfort. After taking an accurate impression of the affected tooth, Dr. Chiu will send it to a dental restoration lab to create your custom crown. The crown can be color-matched to blend perfectly with your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance. Once the crown is completed, you'll return to our office for the final placement, where Dr. Chiu will securely bond it to the tooth, restoring its function and enhancing its appearance.
Porcelain Crowns Cost
Custom dental crowns made from high-quality ceramic materials can vary in price based on several factors. The overall cost of your crown will be influenced by:
- The material selected for the crown, impacting both its appearance and longevity
- The method used to fabricate the crown
- The specific tooth being treated (e.g., a molar compared to a front tooth)
- The complexity of the procedure involved
- Any additional treatments that may be necessary, such as a root canal or periodontal care
- Fees associated with anesthesia or sedation options
