Porcelain Crowns

What Are Porcelain Crowns?

Porcelain crowns are custom-made caps designed to cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. They are crafted from high-quality porcelain material that mimics the natural translucency and colour of your teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking restoration.

Benefits of Porcelain Crowns

Durability: Porcelain crowns are strong and long-lasting, capable of withstanding the daily wear and tear of biting and chewing.
Aesthetic Appeal: With their natural appearance, porcelain crowns enhance the beauty of your smile.
Protection: Crowns safeguard your teeth from further damage, decay, or infection.
Functionality: They restore the function of your teeth, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.

The Process of Getting a Porcelain Crown

Consultation: Our dental experts will assess your needs and discuss the best treatment options with you.
Preparation: The affected tooth is carefully shaped to make room for the crown.
Fitting: A temporary crown is placed while your custom porcelain crown is being crafted in our state-of-the-art lab.
Follow-up: Once your porcelain crown is ready, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to fit and adjust it for a perfect fit and finish.

Porcelain Bridges

What Are Porcelain Bridges?

Porcelain bridges are a durable and aesthetic solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth, known as pontics, that are anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Like our porcelain crowns, these bridges are crafted from high-quality porcelain to ensure a natural look and feel.

Benefits of Porcelain Bridges

Aesthetic Appeal: Porcelain bridges restore the appearance of your smile with natural-looking replacement teeth.
Functionality: They allow you to chew and speak with ease, improving your overall oral function.
Prevention: Bridges help prevent the shifting of remaining teeth, maintaining the integrity of your bite and facial structure.
Durability: With proper care, porcelain bridges can last many years, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.

The Process of Getting a Porcelain Bridge

Consultation: Our team will evaluate your situation and determine if a porcelain bridge is the right option for you.
Preparation: The teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared to support the bridge.
Impression: We take an impression of your teeth to ensure a precise fit for your custom bridge.
Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge is placed while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
Final Fitting: Once your porcelain bridge is ready, we’ll invite you back for the final fitting and adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do porcelain crowns and bridges last?

With proper care and maintenance, porcelain crowns and bridges can last for many years. On average, they can last between 10 to 15 years, but with diligent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, their lifespan can be extended even further.

Are porcelain crowns and bridges noticeable?

Porcelain crowns and bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The porcelain material closely mimics the appearance of natural tooth enamel, making it difficult to distinguish the restoration from your original teeth.

Is the procedure for getting porcelain crowns or bridges painful?

At Star Dental, we prioritize your comfort during all procedures. Local anesthesia is used to ensure a pain-free experience during the preparation and fitting of porcelain crowns and bridges. Our team will also provide you with aftercare instructions to manage any post-treatment sensitivity.

Can porcelain crowns and bridges be whitened?

Porcelain crowns and bridges do not respond to traditional teeth whitening treatments. However, they are highly stain-resistant. If you’re considering whitening your natural teeth, we recommend doing so before your crown or bridge is placed to ensure a perfect color match.

How do I care for my porcelain crowns and bridges?

Caring for your porcelain crowns and bridges is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintain their appearance and longevity. Avoiding hard and sticky foods can also help prevent damage to your restorations.

We are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality porcelain crowns and bridges, ensuring that your smile is not only healthy but also stunningly beautiful.
