Dental Crowns

Overview

Do you have a chipped, cracked or decayed tooth? Our all-porcelain dental crowns might be your best solution in order to regain positive oral health in the most natural and esthetically pleasing treatment. Our specialist team offers all-porcelain crowns to blend in naturally with your mouth and enhance your smile.

Procedure

What Is A Crown?

A full crown, or partial coverage porcelain ceramic crown, is a tooth-mimicking restoration which is cemented or bonded to a tooth to restore the shape and size as well as improve its appearance and strength. We may use crowns to:

• Replace a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
• Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
• Restore a fractured tooth
• Attach a bridge
• Cover a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
• Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment

A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function, and our all-porcelain crowns can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.

Porcelain crowns

All-Porcelain Crowns

At ARID Newton-Wellesley, we use only the best materials to produce world class results for your teeth. We use all-porcelain crowns as they’re extremely durable, very natural in appearance, and aesthetically pleasing. Porcelain is the most natural looking material to use when installing dental crowns; however, just like other common crown materials, porcelain is susceptible to staining. To properly care for and maintain your porcelain crowns, you should consider avoiding dark foods and drinks such as coffee and red wine. You can still consume such foods, but we recommend that you rinse your mouth out after consuming dark foods and drinks to prevent staining and decay of your natural teeth.

Aftercare

Aftercare for Crowns

Aftercare for all-porcelain crowns is the same as your daily oral maintenance routine. We recommend using a soft toothbrush paired with non-abrasive toothpaste to ensure the longevity of your crown.
