Durable and Natural-Looking Portland Crowns
Restore your teeth with custom dental crowns designed for you
Dealing with a damaged tooth?
A cracked, decayed, or worn tooth can affect your ability to chew, speak, or smile confidently. The longer you wait to address the damage, the more likely you are to experience discomfort or further complications.
Portland crowns: A long-lasting dental solution
At South Waterfront Dental, we restore damaged teeth with custom, high-quality, and long-lasting Portland crowns made from premium porcelain. For cases requiring a specialized lab process, this involves a two-visit procedure:
1st visit: Preparation and temporary crown fitting
- Tooth preparation: We gently reshape your damaged tooth by removing some enamel to create a solid foundation and ensure space for the new crown.
- Detailed impressions: We take precise impressions (either using a scanner or a putty material) and send these to an external dental lab, where your custom porcelain crown will be crafted.
- Temporary crown placement: While your permanent crown is being made (which usually takes two to three weeks), we will place a temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth and maintain its function.
2nd visit: Final crown placement
- Final fitting: We remove the temporary crown and verify that your permanent, lab-made crown has the perfect fit, color, and shape.
- Permanent placement: Once the fit is confirmed, the crown is permanently bonded to your tooth using strong dental cement, restoring your tooth's strength and appearance.
