Porcelain crowns can revive your smile, restore your confidence, and reignite your zest for life. With expertly tailored porcelain crowns, you can address issues like chipped teeth, discoloration, and weakened tooth structure.
What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns, often referred to as tooth caps, completely cover and surround a compromised tooth with strong, durable materials such as porcelain or metal. By rebuilding lost enamel with a crown, we can restore the normal shape of your tooth. This restores a balanced and healthy bite and prevents further damage to the neighboring teeth.
Crowns are an ideal option if a tooth becomes too damaged and there is not enough healthy enamel left to support a dental filling. In other cases, a tooth may become weak or brittle and need added support to prevent cracks and fractures.
Some materials, such as ceramic and porcelain, can also restore lifelike beauty to your smile. We frequently use crowns as a cosmetic dentistry solution to correct smile zone flaws like worn down, cracked, broken, decayed, and discolored teeth that can’t be fixed with other treatments like porcelain veneers.
What can porcelain crowns fix?
Porcelain crowns are versatile tools in modern dentistry. These meticulously crafted restorations not only shield and fortify compromised teeth but also offer a path to enhanced aesthetics and confidence. Some common use cases are:
- Strengthening teeth afflicted by extensive decay or damage.
- Providing reinforcement following root canal therapy.
- Repairing teeth that have been fractured.
- Transforming the appearance of discolored or misaligned teeth.
- Serving as a secure anchor for dental bridges.
- Creating a natural look and feel when covering dental implants.

What Are the Types of Dental Crowns?
There are many types of dental crowns, generally described by what materials we use to create them. Crowns can be made from noble metals like gold, porcelain fused over a metal base, or modern ceramics.
Each type of crown has its own pros and cons including varying levels of durability and different aesthetics. At Oak Tree Dental, Dr. Anthony Grados provides two exceptional dental crown choices to meet your unique needs: Traditional Crowns and Same Day CEREC Crowns.
Traditional Crowns
The traditional approach to creating dental crowns involves taking impressions of your teeth to create a model, which is sent to a lab where your crowns are created. Impression crowns are a highly effective option with a long, proven track record for success. These crowns are meticulously crafted to provide patients with durable and aesthetically pleasing solutions for a variety of dental issues.
Key Features of Impression Crowns:
- Precision Craftsmanship: Custom-made for a snug, natural fit.
- Material Options: Choose from porcelain, metal, or a combination.
- Proven Durability: Reliable, long-term restoration.
Same Day CEREC Dental Crowns
Same day crowns have the same durability, lifespan, and great aesthetics as traditional crowns. This is a cutting-edge solution to expedite rebuilding your smile without waiting for your restorations to come back from an external dental laboratory.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
Both traditional and CEREC crowns can last up to 15 years with proper care.
Caring for Dental Crowns
To get the best possible lifespan out of your crowns, try to keep up with good brushing and flossing habits. While crowns do have a specific lifespan, it’s important to remember that the tooth under your crown can still develop cavities, so keeping your teeth clean and strong is essential to getting the most out of your investment.
To get the best the longevity of your crowns and your oral health, follow these tips:
- Maintain Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly, paying attention to the crown area.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods to prevent crown damage.
- Wear a Nightguard for Teeth Grinding: Consider a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
- Regular Check-Ups: Schedule dental check-ups for crown monitoring.
- Address Changes Promptly: Contact your dentist if you notice any issues.
- Avoid Smoking and Excess Alcohol: These habits can impact crown durability.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink enough water for overall oral health and to keep your teeth strong.
- Avoid Abrasive Products: Abrasive toothpastes and other products can wear away the glaze that makes dental crowns shiny and stain resistant.
By adhering to these guidelines, you’ll ensure your crowns stay in great shape, preserving your confident smile.
