Strength and Beauty for Damaged Teeth

When a tooth becomes weakened, cracked, or severely decayed, it can affect your ability to chew comfortably and smile confidently. At Emmy Dental, we restore damaged teeth with custom porcelain crowns, durable, lifelike restorations that protect your tooth while blending naturally with your smile. Each crown is carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, ensuring both function and aesthetics are fully restored.

What Are Porcelain Crowns?

A porcelain crown, often called a “cap,” is a custom-made covering that fits securely over a damaged or treated tooth. It restores the tooth’s natural shape, strength, and appearance while preventing further damage. Porcelain crowns are widely used to protect teeth after root canal therapy, restore broken or worn-down teeth, or replace large fillings.

Porcelain is a popular material because it mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel, creating a seamless look that’s indistinguishable from real teeth. These crowns are also biocompatible, which means they’re safe for gum tissue and suitable for patients with metal sensitivities.

What to Expect From the Crown Placement Process?

Getting a porcelain crown usually requires two visits to our office.

First Visit

The affected tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown. Impressions are then taken to create a custom restoration that fits perfectly. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated.

Second Visit

Once your porcelain crown is ready, it’s precisely adjusted for fit, color, and bite alignment, then permanently bonded in place. Our team ensures that your new crown feels comfortable and looks completely natural.

Modern dental materials and digital technology allow us to create crowns that are both durable and highly aesthetic, providing a restoration that can last for many years with proper care.

Benefits of Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns provide long-term protection and a flawless appearance. Some of the key benefits include:

Restores full strength and function to damaged or worn teeth.
Matches the natural color and translucence of your enamel.
Protects teeth after root canal therapy or large fillings.
Improves the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or cracked teeth.
Supports dental bridges and implant restorations.

With porcelain crowns, you can enjoy a renewed smile that feels comfortable and looks completely natural.

Protect and Perfect Your Smile

Taking care of your crown is simple and essential to maintaining its longevity. Brush and floss daily, paying special attention to the gumline where plaque can accumulate. Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens, which can damage the crown.

If you have a damaged or weakened tooth, a porcelain crown may be the ideal solution. Schedule your consultation at Emmy Dental today and discover how a beautifully crafted crown can restore strength, comfort, and natural beauty to your smile.
