Porcelain Crowns Near You

For people with significant damage to their teeth, whether as a result of fracture, decay, or a failed restoration, a porcelain crown is a good solution. The tooth crown is a porcelain sheath that fits over the tooth, restoring it to its original shape and size.

This restorative dentistry option protects and strengthens the tooth. Dr. Gordon Chee can discuss the benefits patients can receive by coming to Aesthetic Dental Studio for porcelain dental crowns in NW Calgary during a free consultation.

Porcelain Crowns in NW Calgary

The Porcelain Advantage

Unlike old metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, the all-porcelain crown is an aesthetically ideal restoration. The porcelain has the same sheen and luster as dental enamel and responds to the thermal changes in a similar fashion to minimize heat sensitivity or possible thermal cracking of the teeth. In addition, because porcelain has the same hardness as tooth enamel, the crown will neither damage nor be damaged by your other teeth.

How Long Will My Porcelain Crowns Last?

The average lifespan of a porcelain crown is around 10 to 15 years. Keep in mind that factors such as your dental habits, the health of the tooth, and the quality of the crown can play a role.

Signs that it may be time to replace your crown include:

  • Pain or discomfort in the crowned tooth
  • Movement or lack of stability in the crown
  • Chips or damage to the dental restoration
  • Stains or poor aesthetics that detract from your smile

Placing a dental crown is a straightforward process with a manageable recovery period. You will likely be dealing with some inflammation or irritation for several days. Our NW Calgary dentist will give you detailed aftercare instructions for your porcelain dental crown at our Calgary office.

Is There A Recovery Period Following The Placement Procedure?

You may be on the search for a provider of porcelain crowns near you for various reasons, such as:

  • Protecting a damaged or decayed tooth
  • Strengthening a tooth with a large filling
  • Anchoring a dental bridge
  • Concealing a misshapen or discolored tooth
  • Covering a dental implant
  • Strengthening a tooth after root canal therapy

Am I The Right Candidate For Porcelain Crowns?

  • Brushing your teeth at least twice a day
  • Flossing at least once a day
  • Getting a dental checkup every six months
  • Wearing a mouthguard if you grind your teeth
  • Never use your teeth as tools

These healthy habits can help your crowns last for a long time. Some patients have had the same crowns for decades. Dr. Chee will gladly provide personalized care recommendations.
