Why Choose All-Porcelain Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a compromised tooth. It can improve the strength, size, and appearance of a tooth that may have suffered damage from tooth decay or injury. In many places, metal and metal/porcelain dental crowns are widely utilized by dentists. However, the team at Dental Partners of Boston prefers pure porcelain due to its many advantages. Here are some of the benefits associated with all-porcelain dental crowns:

• They blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
• They have less of a chance to cause allergic reactions.
• All-porcelain dental crowns offer similar strength and toughness to other dental crowns.
• There is no chance of metal showing at the base of the crown as sometimes happens with metal/porcelain.
• Our technology for creating porcelain crowns frequently lets us complete the procedure in one visit.

How Will your All-Porcelain Dental Crown Appointment Go

In many cases, dental crowns directly follow other procedures such as root canals or cavity removal. Once we determine a dental crown is the best option for you, your dentist will prepare the tooth for the crown. A digital scan of your mouth will be taken to precisely measure size and shape for the crown. In some cases, other teeth near the crown might be altered in order to ensure proper alignment. Once the shape of the crown is determined the crown is made. Usually we can complete this in the same appointment using CEREC technology. Once the crown is ready, we bond it with your existing tooth structure.

CEREC Same-Day Crown Technology

In the past, a dental crown procedure could take multiple office visits as an outside lab had to handle the manufacture of your unique dental crown. Today, that's not the case at Dental Partners of Boston. With CEREC® Single Visit Crowns we can design and create your all-porcelain crown here in our Boston dental office. The CEREC technology digitally measures the contours of your mouth and creates a perfectly fitting prosthetic out of porcelain. The entire process takes about as long as the average dental appointment. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments.
