Porcelain Crowns

A damaged tooth that still has a healthy root can be protected and visually improved with the addition of a dental crown. Porcelain and ceramic crowns, also called caps, are natural-looking covers that fit securely over a compromised tooth to correct breaks, fractures, or stains.

Benefits of Dental Crowns:

You may be asking if cosmetic dentistry is worth it. Dental Crowns go beyond restoring the look of the teeth and provide better oral health and function. The benefits of dental crowns include the following:

  • Hold cracked or damaged teeth together.
  • Replace large or worn-out fillings.
  • Restore fractured or cracked teeth.
  • Restore dental implants.
  • Improve the appearance of your teeth (discoloration and mild alignment issues)
  • Reshape your teeth.
  • Protect teeth after a root canal.

The Dental Crown Process

A dental crown is permanently bonded over a tooth to cover and protect it from further damage. Generally, a dental crown takes two appointments. During the first appointment, the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken, and a temporary crown is created until the permanent crown is ready. The impression is used by the dental laboratory to create a permanent crown that is customized for an exact fit. You will wear the temporary crown for a couple of weeks and then return for a second appointment where the permanent restoration is placed. That is when the permanent crown is cemented permanently.

Single Visit Dental Crowns

New Teeth in a Day

If you have ever had a crown, it is likely that you had it done in two appointments. Traditional crown placement methods require an initial appointment where the tooth is prepared and an impression is done. The impression is then sent off to a laboratory where the permanent crown is manufactured. We have found that many of our patients don’t like having to wear a temporary crown between these two visits and feel the entire process is inconvenient.

Houston CEREC crowns can be done in one day at Coleman Dental, we can do it all in one appointment with our CEREC® technology. After a 3D digital model of the teeth is produced, we can quickly design a restoration with precision and beauty to match your smile. The design is transferred to the CEREC milling unit and created from a solid ceramic block. After final approval, the restoration is seated and you will be ready to enjoy the amazing results.

Crowns and more made while you wait.

This sophisticated CAD/CAM technology designs and fabricates the crown while you wait. This translates into added convenience for our patients and means no coordination and waiting on an outside laboratory. And most importantly, no temporary crown.

Brian, a CEREC patient, says it best, “I needed a new crown so I didn’t look bad for an upcoming wedding. I know I put it off for far too long and I didn’t have two weeks to wear a temporary. Dr. Coleman took care of me the same day. He used a machine that made a permanent crown while I waited an hour or so while watching ESPN. Pretty cool!”

Some other advantages of CEREC crowns are:

Only one dental appointment is required.

We have the CEREC technology in-house, so the risk of miscommunication between the lab and our office is eliminated.

You don’t have to deal with an uncomfortable temporary crown.

The sophisticated CEREC technology helps ensure an absolutely flawless fit that will match your unique bite.
