Porcelain crowns are custom-made caps that fully cover a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Designed to look and feel like a natural tooth, crowns protect the tooth structure while improving aesthetics—especially after large fillings, fractures, severe wear, or root canal treatment.
Porcelain closely mimics natural enamel with lifelike shade and translucency. Blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth for a refined smile.
Crowns reinforce weakened teeth, helping prevent further cracking or breakage. Shields the tooth after extensive decay, large fillings, or root canal therapy.
Restores chewing efficiency and bite balance for everyday comfort. Custom fit supports gum health and reduces sensitivity in many cases.
Porcelain crowns may be recommended for a wide range of dental needs, including:
Protects and strengthens teeth with fractures or structural weakness.
When a filling is not enough to support the remaining tooth.
Improves color, shape, and symmetry when needed.
Seals and protects the tooth to reduce fracture risk.
Rebuilds height and function in heavily worn teeth.
Crowns can anchor a bridge to replace missing teeth.
Clinical exam, X-rays, bite evaluation, and discussion of your goals (function + aesthetics).
The tooth is carefully shaped to create space for the crown while preserving healthy structure.
Precise impressions or 3D scans are taken to craft a crown that fits naturally and comfortably.
The crown is fitted, shade-checked, bite-adjusted, and permanently cemented for a secure finish.

With proper care and regular check-ups, crowns can last many years. Longevity depends on bite forces, oral hygiene, and habits like grinding.
Yes. High-quality porcelain is designed to match your natural teeth in shade, shape, and translucency.
Treatment is typically comfortable. You may experience mild sensitivity after preparation, which usually settles quickly.
Often yes—especially for back teeth—because the tooth can become more brittle and needs protection.
Many cases take 2 visits: preparation/scan and then final placement. Timelines can vary by case.
Brush and floss as normal, avoid biting very hard objects, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
