Porcelain Crowns

Advantages of Porcelain Crowns
Crowns that were fused to metal left a tell-tale line where the tooth met the gum. No such line exists with porcelain crowns. Porcelain crowns are shaped to your teeth and designed to match your natural color. They are undetectable to everyone except you and your dentist. They are strong and durable. They fit so well you will not even notice you have them.
 
Disadvantages of Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns cost more than traditional crowns. When they are first put in place, you may notice some sensitivity to hot and cold food and water for a few days. Porcelain crowns may require a bit more tooth reduction than traditional crowns.

Maintenance of Porcelain Crowns
Treat your porcelain crowns as you would your regular teeth. Brush and floss them as normal. The only difference is that you will not use an abrasive toothpaste. Following the placement of your porcelain crowns, your dentist will schedule a follow-up appointment a few weeks later. Even if you feel you have no problems at all, it is important that you attend this appointment. Your dentist may notice something you missed. Maintaining the schedule your dentist advises is an important part of the long-term maintenance of your porcelain crowns. Dream Dental Is Proud to Serve Goodlettsville’s Families!
