Porcelain CrownsinCupertino
Regain your confidence with custom-made porcelain crowns designed to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
A porcelain crown is a restorative option for compromised teeth. When a tooth has fractured, broken or cracked, it may need to be crowned. Porcelain crowns aren’t just cosmetically appealing, but they improve your ability to chew and eat while taking care of any rough and jagged edges of a broken tooth. As a cosmetic-focused practice, we custom-craft our crowns to not only improve the function of your mouth but the aesthetics too.

Dental Implants Available
Seeking a permanent solution to missing teeth? Try dental implants! We use a dental crown and implant together to replace a missing tooth down to the root for a completely natural look. Our skilled team will assist you throughout the implant procedure to ensure the best results.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge provides an excellent way to fill in gaps from missing teeth and avoid the effects of tooth loss. By using your natural tooth structure, a fixed bridge can help maintain and improve your oral health. Without a bridge, you might face bone loss, tooth movement, and a higher chance of dental issues. If you need a bridge, we will explore all the available choices with you to achieve the best results for your smile.
The Dental Crown Process
Consultation
Your journey starts with a thorough consultation, during which we will talk about your objectives and thoroughly evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums. We will utilize state-of-the-art imaging technology to determine the severity of any damage or decay, allowing us to develop a customized treatment plan specifically for you.
Temporary Crown
After deciding that a crown is the most suitable solution, we will begin by removing any damaged tissue and shaping your tooth for a comfortable, aesthetic fit and look. Precise impressions of your tooth will be taken for our skilled technicians to create your personalized crown. While your permanent crown is being made, we will place a temporary one to safeguard your tooth.
Milling Process
By utilizing high-quality materials like porcelain, we craft a crown that flawlessly integrates with your natural teeth. Our meticulousness guarantees that the crown harmonizes with the color, shape, and dimensions of your adjacent teeth, giving you a gorgeously renewed smile.
Crown Placement
When your custom crown is ready, we'll schedule a final placement appointment. Our team will meticulously check the fit, comfort, and appearance of your new restoration, making any necessary adjustments to ensure your complete satisfaction. Finally, we'll permanently cement your crown in place, restoring your tooth's strength, function, and aesthetic appeal.
FAQs

A porcelain crown is often needed when a tooth has broken or fractured. Teeth can break at virtually any time and for a variety of reasons. A tooth that has a large filling may crack and break as well as a tooth that has recently had a root canal. Even something as simple as biting down into a hard piece of food can crack or break a tooth.
Crowns are one of the most common restorations in the dental field. In fact, most patients will have at least one crown in their mouth at some point during their lifetime. To determine if a crown is needed, we will perform an exam and consult with you concerning your options. Crowns are made for each individual patient so that they feel and look completely natural.
A dental bridge, also known as a tooth bridge, is a dental restoration that uses your natural teeth and anchoring dental crowns to fill in gaps in your smile. This type of bridge replaces one or more missing teeth, providing security and stability for the wearer. It typically consists of two dental crowns on each end, with one or more false teeth in between, all securely attached to healthy anchor teeth to bridge the gap left by the missing teeth.
Our doctor will administer local anesthetic to make the procedure as comfortable as possible for you. We then file down the down that will need to be crowned to make room for the restoration. An impression is taken to make both a temporary as well as a permanent crown. You will go home the same day with a temporary crown over the tooth and will need to come back in for the permanent to be placed.
The second appointment involves removing the temporary and placing the actual crown. We will make slight adjustments to the bite and fit so that the new restoration is comfortable for you. If you need a new porcelain crown and would like to know more about this procedure, call our office now and we will be happy to answer all of your questions.
You might be curious about the advantages of a fixed bridge and its effects on your overall health. The explanation is straightforward: a fixed bridge utilizes the natural tooth structure to improve and strengthen what is already present. This is why we frequently suggest dental bridges; it enables the existing framework in your mouth to aid in its own restoration. Without the assistance of bridges, your jaw may experience bone loss, your remaining teeth may shift, and you could become susceptible to various dental issues. Although dental bridges may not be essential in every scenario, if your circumstances call for it, we will thoroughly consider all available options with you.
