What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?

While both are used to improve the appearance of teeth, a crown covers the entire tooth, whereas a veneer only covers the front surface of the tooth. Crowns are generally used for restorative purposes and veneers for cosmetic purposes.

How long do porcelain crowns last?

Porcelain crowns generally last between 10 to 15 years, but can last much longer with proper care and maintenance, which includes regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.

Are porcelain crowns stain-resistant?

Yes, porcelain crowns are resistant to staining because they are made of high-quality materials like ceramic and porcelain fused to metal, which do not easily stain.

Is getting a porcelain crown painful?

The procedure for getting a porcelain crown should not be painful, as local anesthesia is used to numb the area. There might be some discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, but this usually subsides in a few days.

Porcelain Crown Solution Dentists in CT

Modern dentistry offers more options than ever to help you restore and maintain an optimal level of health. Dr. Sharma and Dr. Rangi focus on utilizing the best techniques for comprehensive care, returning even the most damaged mouths to full health.

Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?

Sometimes teeth undergo significant damage due to cavities, heavy bite forces, trauma, or even normal functioning. Many situations can leave teeth in danger of loss if treatment is bypassed. Dental crowns, or caps, allow these teeth to be rebuilt and covered with materials that mimic nature. Crowned teeth are secure, comfortable, and indistinguishable from natural teeth. They may be crafted to repair a single tooth, multiple teeth (including the entire mouth), or in conjunction with dental implants to fill a space.

One Simple Step

Once your case is planned, two appointments leave you with a restored tooth. At the first visit, the teeth are gently prepared to allow space for crafting porcelain over the tooth by a master lab technician. Our doctors provide all the information to a specialized lab that's needed to create a masterpiece. A temporary crown allows you to function normally until the crown arrives for placement typically within 2-3 weeks.
