Porcelain Crowns Las Vegas | Cosmetic Dentistry

Our teeth are among our most durable - and hardworking - body parts. And not only that, when they're treated to life-long tender loving care, they give us bright, happy, welcoming smiles! But just like the rest of us, our teeth are vulnerable not only to neglect, but also to the natural process of aging.

When you look at your teeth, what you see is the white enamel which covers the crown of the tooth. Over the years, your natural crown can be damaged or altered by many factors. It may become cracked or weakened by excessive wear or by decay, discolored by root canal treatment or by health factors and medical influences, or become unsightly due to large older fillings.

Damaged teeth can be restored - and their strength, appearance, and longevity greatly improved - with individually custom-fitted and manufactured porcelain crowns which allow us to achieve the tone and contour of your natural teeth. In fact, all-porcelain crowns have a natural translucency that makes them hard to tell from your other teeth.

Porcelain crowns used to be placed on a metal core for strength, and often a telltale dark line was left at the edge of the gum line. New techniques allow dentists to create crowns entirely of porcelain, eliminating all clues that a restoration has been placed.

First, the tooth is reduced and contoured. Then an impression of your teeth and gums is taken, and sent to a dental laboratory for fabrication of the porcelain crown. In the interim, you are fitted with a temporary crown. When your new crown is ready, it is placed on your tooth and the bite adjusted. Finally, the crown is permanently cemented in place.
