Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain Crowns are used in various situations and are one of the premium choices in dental care when strength and appearance are of importance.

At Smile Artistry we have our own onsite Dental Laboratory and have the Porcelain Crown made onsite. This avoids any quality concerns with sending the Crown to be made overseas. The most common system of Porcelain used at Smile Artistry is the new and proven Emax Porcelain Crowns.

Treatment Details for Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain Crowns are performed over a two appointment process. The first appointment involves a local anaeasthetic to numb the tooth. The tooth is then prepared with a drill to ensure space is made for the Porcelain Crown. Colour and ahade records are taken. An impression is made. A Temporary Crown is placed on the tooth. Roughly two weeks later, the tooth is again numbed and the temporary crown removed and replaced with teh permanent Porcelain Crown. Porcelain Crowns are bonded to the tooth structure and should not come loose.
