Natural Porcelain Crowns

What Are Natural Porcelain Crowns?

A natural porcelain crown is a custom-made dental cap crafted from high-quality porcelain. It covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength while improving its overall appearance. Unlike crowns made from metal or ceramic, porcelain crowns can mimic the natural translucency and color of real teeth.

Porcelain crowns are a versatile solution often used in dentistry to:

Protect teeth that have been weakened due to decay or fractures.
Improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.
Restore functionality after root canal therapy.
Replace old or worn-down crowns.

At Vacaville Aesthetic Dentistry & Implants, Natural Porcelain Crowns in Vacaville are designed with advanced technologies, including 3D imaging and digital X-rays, to ensure precision and accuracy. This ensures you walk out of our office with a harmonious and natural smile.

The Process of Getting a Porcelain Crown

When you choose Natural Porcelain Crowns in Vacaville, you’re opting for a careful, pain-free, and effective process. Here’s what you can expect at Vacaville Aesthetic Dentistry & Implants:

Consultation and Examination

Dr. Posert starts by thoroughly examining your tooth and discussing your goals. We use digital X-rays and cutting-edge 3D imaging to assess the tooth’s structure and surrounding tissue.

Tooth Preparation

The damaged tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown. This step ensures the crown fits comfortably and securely. We will use a local anesthetic for a pain-free experience.

Impressions and Temporary Crown

We will take precise impressions and place a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your porcelain crown is crafted.

Custom Crown Design

Your crown will match the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth. Our lab uses high-quality porcelain to create a durable and natural-looking restoration.

Placement of the Crown

Once ready, we will bond the crown to your tooth with strong dental cement. Dr. Posert ensures the fit is perfect and comfortably aligned with your bite.

How to Care for Your Porcelain Crown

After receiving your porcelain crown, proper care is essential to extend its lifespan. Here are some tips for maintaining your crown:

Practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily.
Avoid chewing hard objects like ice or pens, as these can weaken the crown.
Limit consumables like coffee, tea, and wine that can stain your teeth over time.
Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure everything stays in top shape.

With proper care, your porcelain crown can serve you effectively for years.
