Porcelain Crowns
A custom-shaded cap that protects a damaged tooth while looking completely natural.
Book Appointment
A porcelain crown fully covers a tooth that's been weakened by a large cavity, a crack, or a previous root canal — restoring its strength while matching the color and shape of the teeth around it.
Unlike the metal or metal-fused crowns common years ago, today's all-porcelain crowns are shade-matched precisely and translucent in a way that mimics natural enamel, so they're difficult to pick out even up close.
Is this right for you?
- A tooth is cracked, worn down, or heavily filled

FAQ
Questions about porcelain crowns
How long does a crown last?
A well-cared-for porcelain crown typically lasts 10-15 years or more, and many go much longer with good oral hygiene.
Will I need a temporary crown?
In most cases yes — you'll wear a temporary crown for a short period while your permanent one is custom-made, so your tooth is never left unprotected.
Can a crown look completely natural?
Yes — modern porcelain crowns are shade-matched to your surrounding teeth and shaped to your bite, so they blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The procedure is done under local anesthetic, so it's generally comfortable — some mild sensitivity for a few days afterward is normal.
Why would I need a crown instead of a filling?
Fillings work well for smaller cavities, but once too much tooth structure is compromised, a crown is needed to fully protect the tooth from cracking under normal biting pressure.
How do I take care of a crown long-term?
Brush and floss around it just like your natural teeth, and avoid habits like chewing ice or hard candy, which can chip or loosen any crown over time.
