If one of the teeth in your smile has mismatched fillings, discolorations, or chips, it can leave you feeling self-conscious about your appearance. Here at [practice_name], your dentist, Dr. [doctor_name], is highly trained and experienced in a wide range of cosmetic treatments. If the tooth enamel layer is compromised by tooth decay or an old filling, it might not be viable for a dental veneer. In a case like this, your dentist might recommend restoring the tooth with a porcelain dental crown in [city], [state].
The porcelain material can be shaded to match the other teeth in your smile to look like a natural tooth. To mount the crown, your dentist will first need to form an abutment out of the core of the tooth by removing all of the enamel with a drill. This post-like structure will later anchor the crown in your mouth.
Your dentist will then make a detailed impression of the area. This will be sent to a dental lab where your new crown will be custom made. A temporary crown will then be secured over the abutment to keep it safe while you await the completion of your crown.
A member of our staff will call you in for a brief follow-up appointment when the lab technician has completed the porcelain crown. The temporary crown will be removed and your new crown will be cemented into place.
