Porcelain Crowns

Losing a tooth is never a pleasant experience. In the old days of dentistry, getting a crown to replace a damaged or decayed tooth was even more of an ordeal. Everyone would cringe at the thought of needles and drills. In some cases, patients wouldn't even bother getting the tooth fixed.


Thankfully, the art and science of modern cosmetic dentistry has changed all that. Dr. Sean Anderson is an excellent example of cosmetic dentists who use state-of-the-art materials and techniques while restoring your smile virtually pain-free.


For Dr. Anderson, porcelain crowns are used to restore your ability to chew, speak and smile properly. As long as the root of the broken or decayed tooth is still intact, porcelain crowns can be used to repair the damage. Here's how it works.


Dr. Anderson gently reshapes the damaged tooth to allow the porcelain crown to fit over it like a cap. Next, he uses dental putty to take an impression of the tooth and those around it. The impression will show the dental lab how to design your custom porcelain crown so it fits naturally among your other teeth.


A temporary crown is set over the damaged tooth to protect it while your custom porcelain crown is being designed. Once the custom crown is ready, Dr. Anderson uses a very safe, but very strong, dental adhesive to secure the crown to the tooth. Once he's done, you have a natural, no-gap smile again.
