Porcelain Dental Crowns Sterling Heights
Versatile, Comprehensive, and Beautiful Solutions
A crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, those made from porcelain are the most popular because they resemble your natural teeth. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth, giving you a natural, long-lasting, beautiful smile. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced.

What Can Dental Crowns Fix?
Dental crowns are lauded as one of the most versatile dental restorations around, since they’re capable of resolving a wide variety of issues that can affect teeth. This includes:
- Broken or fractured teeth

- Fractured fillings
- Missing teeth
Dental crowns are also commonly used following root canal treatment.
What Does Getting a Dental Crown Involve?
A crown procedure usually requires two appointments. Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom crown. A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown, which will stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new crown is fabricated by a dental laboratory.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare it by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the crown. Once this is accomplished, your temporary crown will be placed, and your bite will be checked to ensure you are biting properly.
At your second appointment, your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be carefully placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate. You will also be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown.
