Porcelain CrownWith porcelain fused to metal crowns, there has to be an opaque layer put over the metal to block out its color. This makes it impossible to have a translucent restoration that mimics the translucency of natural teeth. Only with pure porcelain or pure ceramic can you have such clarity.  The technique for placing all-porcelain crowns is very detailed. While the newer high-strength ceramics can be worn with bonding or traditional cementation techniques, all-porcelain needs to be bonded. Bonding requires strict isolation of the tooth. They also require a high level of color manipulation skills. While other ceramics are somewhat translucent, porcelain can be very translucent, meaning that the color of the underlying tooth strongly influences its color. Our dentists here at RJ Dental will help you get the best quality services. We recommend the placement of porcelain crowns be done by an expert cosmetic dentist. Porcelain crown placement is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite, when used atop dental implants. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for our patients using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is not usual for these treatments to last for 17 to 25 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get. Procedure for fitting crownsFitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown. We will remove the temporary crown on the subsequent visit and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place, and you will have a new beautiful looking tooth. Crown and bridgework is a reliable solution for major dental problems caused by accidents, diseases, or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. The material used in these repairs is highly esthetic and extremely durable. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and bridges can be used as a long-term solution. Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can weaken the teeth and cause appearance problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage. For appointments, contact our very esteemed RJ Dental dental professionals and book an appointment.
