Porcelain Crowns Fort Lauderdale, FL

There are several ways for your Fort Lauderdale dentist to change the appearance and strength of a tooth, but one of the most effective solutions is a porcelain crown. This treatment is both cosmetic and restorative and, depending on your oral health needs, can make a tooth both look and work better. At Premier Smile Center, we determine whether a crown is the best answer for you and customize this repair to beautify and fortify your smile.

The Versatility of Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns have the power to do many jobs. Their versatility and durability make them a popular fix for the following concerns:

• Chipped or broken tooth: A chipped or broken tooth may not seem like an oral health emergency but tending to this problem sooner rather than later is important. It is more likely that a tooth will suffer further chips or breaks if it isn’t fixed quickly. Fine cracks may also be present and allow bacteria in, eventually leading to an infection and severe pain. A crown restores a tooth completely and protects it from further deterioration.
• Infected tooth: If you have an infected tooth, you may need root canal therapy. Once this treatment is complete, the tooth in question will need to be covered up to restore its shape and prevent it from developing any further problems. A crown caps off the treated tooth for a complete repair.
• Weak tooth: A tooth may look sturdy but x-rays and regular check-ups by your Fort Lauderdale dentist will identify enamel that is weak and in danger of breaking. Covering up this threatened tooth with a crown strengthens enamel and averts disaster.
• Decayed tooth: A heavily decayed tooth may not have enough enamel remaining to support a tooth-colored filling once the cavity is removed. In cases like this, a porcelain crown can be used to cover up the treated area and completely fix the tooth.
• Damaged tooth: When a tooth suffers damage in an accident, sporting injury, or when using your teeth as a tool, it needs to be repaired quickly to prevent major problems from developing. A crown will cover up any damage and eliminate future deterioration.
• Unsightly tooth: Sometimes you just have an ugly tooth. Whether it is stained or discolored, shorter than your other teeth, an odd shape, or otherwise marred, this unsightly tooth can be concealed with a customized, natural-looking porcelain crown.

How Porcelain Crowns Work

Every porcelain crown is customized to the patient and the tooth it will be covering. The point of this dental restoration and cosmetic dentistry procedure is to repair, restore, and beautify a tooth so it is strong and blends in with the rest of your smile.

Crowns are built to look just like a natural tooth in size, shape, and color. They are often called a cap because they do just that – form a covering over a problem tooth. Your Fort Lauderdale dentist will carefully design a crown to seamlessly fit in with the rest of your teeth.

Crowns are also beneficial because they not only protect the tooth they cover, their presence helps prevent neighboring teeth from developing their own complications. Porcelain crowns are super-strong and long-lasting. With daily brushing and flossing and regular visits to your dentist for cleanings and exams, you can keep a crown for decades.
