As well as covering a tooth that is damaged, weakened or discolored, our porcelain dental crown can be used to help a tooth’s shape or appearance to look more attractive, and also to keep the bite healthy as a crown prevents the teeth from shifting.

Our porcelain dental crowns are created to match your own pearly whites, making them a natural-looking replacement. The life of a dental crown can run anywhere between five to fifteen years, depending on the amount of stress you place on it and how well you care for your oral health in general. Taking excellent care of your crown means staying on top of your oral health which includes:

1. Brushing at least twice a day
2. Flossing daily at least once (particularly around the crown area where your gums reach the tooth)
3. Avoiding hard foods, biting your fingernails and grinding and clenching your teeth
4. Keeping up with routine professional dental cleanings and exams
