Porcelain Crowns in Palm Beach Gardens & Jupiter

Understanding The Procedure

At PGA Dentistry, we hold the quality of our care to the highest standard. Your first appointment with us will involve a comprehensive consultation, digital photographs, digital x-rays, and a comprehensive examination with Dr. Ajmo. A customized treatment plan based on your needs and personal requests will be created just for you. If necessary, a sedative may be prescribed to keep you relaxed and comfortable.

We will first prepare your teeth, removing any decayed portions, and your teeth will be deeply cleaned and polished. Next, we will fit you with provisional restorations and give you a chance to wear them for a few days. This interim period will allow you to take note of the way the crowns look, how they affect your bite and ability to chew comfortably.

Next, we will send molds, photographs, x-rays, and detailed instructions to our quality ceramics laboratory, where your permanent crowns will be fabricated to the highest standards. In a few weeks, your porcelain dental crowns will be ready to be placed. We will do a final check of the fit and color of your crowns and, using high-quality dental cement, attaching them to your prepared teeth.

Caring for your dental crowns requires the same attention as your natural teeth such as brushing your teeth and flossing daily to keep plaque and bacteria from building up around your gums. We still suggest that you visit our Palm Beach Gardens office for a check-up once every 6 months to clean your teeth and crowns, assess the health of your gums, and help you maintain your good oral health.

The Benefits

Replacing old restorations and improving your smile with porcelain dental crowns makes a substantial difference in your appearance and your confidence. Dental crowns can change the shape, size, color, alignment, and spacing of your teeth. They can also improve your bite and your overall oral health. A whiter, more beautiful smile will give you the confidence you deserve. We can’t wait to see how your new and improved smile changes the way you feel.

Candidacy

Your initial consultation with Dr. Ajmo will determine whether you are a candidate for dental crowns. Crowns can be used to:

• Restoring teeth that are cracked or have large silver fillings
• Replacing older dental crowns that are starting to fail
• Restore teeth damaged by trauma or injury
• Restore teeth that have undergone root canal
• Conceal yellowing or discoloration
• Achieve a properly balanced bite

The Cost

Cosmetic crowns are a long-term investment in saving your natural teeth and making your smile look naturally beautiful. Overall investment is related to the number of teeth restored along with any other preliminary treatment that may be necessary. Our premium lab, although slightly more costly than most conventional volume dental labs, helps deliver long-lasting results that look wonderful and function well. Quite frequently, it’s observed that lesser quality dentistry has to be redone which ends up being more expensive in the long term.
