Understanding the Purpose of Dental Crowns

What You Need to Know About Porcelain Crowns

A dental crown is also known as a cap, and is used to restore a tooth’s function after significant damage or decay. Because these caps cover the entirety of the tooth, starting at the gum line, they provide significantly more protection than a filling. Additionally, because we use porcelain and custom fit your crown to match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth, crowns create a beautiful and natural-looking smile—as opposed to fillings that simply plug damage.

We use our porcelain crown solutions to:

• Protect a tooth after a root canal
• Strengthen a tooth that has become weak or fractured
• Anchor dental bridges
• Improve a misshapen tooth
• Cover a dental implant

Customized Solutions for Your Unique Smile

At Mission Dental, we make receiving a dental crown as simple as possible. In fact, you can have a beautifully restored smile in as little as two short visits! We start the process with a detailed examination, where we inspect your tooth inside and out, using our most advanced x-ray and scanning technologies. We then gently prepare the tooth to optimally accept your new crown and implant a temporary crown while your custom-made permanent crown is crafted by a master lab technician.

On your second visit, we strongly bond your porcelain crown to your existing tooth and perform small adjustments and a final polish to create a natural and comfortable fit. If you live in Eugene or any of the surrounding areas, call on Mission Dental to perform the highest quality porcelain dental crown treatments possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do porcelain crowns last?

With proper care, porcelain crowns can last for many years. However, the lifespan of your crowns will depend on factors such as your oral hygiene habits, your diet, and your overall dental health.

Do porcelain crowns require special care?

Yes, porcelain crowns require the same care as your natural teeth. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and seeing your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings.

Are porcelain crowns sensitive to hot and cold temperatures?

Yes, porcelain crowns can be sensitive to hot and cold temperatures, especially in the initial weeks after placement. This sensitivity is usually temporary and should subside as your mouth adjusts to the crowns.

Can I bite down on porcelain crowns?

Yes, porcelain crowns are designed to be strong and durable, and you can bite down on them normally. However, it's important to avoid biting down on extremely hard objects, such as ice or nuts, as this can damage the crowns.
