Utilize Porcelain Crowns to Restore Your Smile with Our Cosmetic Dentist in Indian Head Park

At M3 Dental, our experienced cosmetic dentist in Indian Head Park provides high-quality porcelain crowns to restore the function, strength, and appearance of your teeth. Unlike fillings that cover only a small portion of a tooth, a crown encases the entire visible portion, acting as a new outer surface to protect and strengthen the tooth. 

 

Porcelain crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth is severely broken, decayed, or weakened beyond the point where fillings can provide sufficient repair. They provide a durable protective shell while restoring the tooth’s natural shape, size, and appearance. Because porcelain closely resembles the color and texture of natural teeth, crowns are often chosen for their aesthetic value as well as their strength. Crowns can dramatically improve your smile, giving you more confidence when speaking or laughing, and are designed to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth for a natural look. 

 

How Porcelain Crowns Are Done 

The process of receiving a porcelain crown typically involves two visits to M3 Dental: 

 

First Visit

• Dr. Merchant reshapes the tooth to prepare it for the crown. A portion of the tooth must be removed to ensure a proper fit. 

• An impression of the tooth is taken using a special dental material. This impression is sent to a dental laboratory where your permanent crown is custom-made. 

• A temporary crown is placed over the tooth to protect it and maintain function while the permanent crown is being created. 

 

Second Visit

• The temporary crown is removed. 

• The permanent crown is checked for proper fit, bite alignment, and color match with your natural teeth. 

• Once the crown is confirmed to fit comfortably and blend seamlessly, it is cemented into place. 

 

This two-step process ensures that your crown not only functions well but also looks natural and enhances your smile. Our team at M3 Dental carefully matches the color, shape, and translucency of each crown to your natural teeth, ensuring maximum comfort and cosmetic appeal.
