Strengthen Your Smile with Our Porcelain Crowns in Meridian, ID
If you’re dealing with a cracked, broken, or severely decayed tooth, porcelain crowns offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution. At our practice, our experienced Meridian ID dentist provides high-quality, custom-made porcelain crowns that are designed to restore the strength, function, and natural appearance of your smile.
Porcelain crowns are commonly used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling to be effective. These crowns act as a protective "cap" that completely encases the affected tooth, shielding it from further damage while restoring its original shape, size, and strength. Our crowns are carefully crafted to match the color and contour of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and beautiful result.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain is a strong, biocompatible material that mimics the look and feel of natural tooth enamel. Our Meridian ID dentist may recommend a porcelain crown for several reasons, including:
- Strengthening a weakened or cracked tooth
- Restoring a tooth after root canal therapy
- Covering a large filling or cavity
- Improving the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth
- Anchoring a dental bridge or covering a dental implant
Porcelain crowns not only enhance the cosmetic appearance of your teeth but also improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. They help support your facial structure and maintain a youthful look by preventing shifting and sagging associated with missing or compromised teeth.
What to Expect During the Porcelain Crown Procedure
Your crown treatment will typically be completed over two visits. During your first appointment, Dr. Stillings will reshape the affected tooth to make room for the crown. We’ll then take detailed impressions to ensure a precise fit. A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being fabricated in a specialized dental lab.
At your second visit, our Meridian ID dentist will remove the temporary crown and carefully fit your permanent porcelain crown. We’ll make sure it fits comfortably and matches the color of your surrounding teeth before securely bonding it in place.
