Preventive Dentistry: Porcelain Crowns

When a tooth is brittle, breaks, cracks, or is heavily filled, Dr. Iacovino often recommends a porcelain crown. These restorations are tinted to blend with surrounding teeth, so they look natural. In the past, dentists used metal or porcelain fused to metal, but the exposed metal edge made these crowns look obtrusive. Today, you can retain your natural beauty and sophisticated image – even after crown work!

If you need a crown, Dr. Iacovino will prepare your damaged tooth, take an impression, and use special shade-matching technology to acquire data for our laboratory. In keeping with our high standards of dental work, we fabricate our crowns strictly using the services of a professional laboratory. Only these experts are best equipped to produce the highest quality crowns. While the lab fabricates your new porcelain crown, you’ll wear a temporary that has been carefully hand-crafted by Dr. Iacovino. Many of our patients have commented on how realistic our doctor's temporary crowns look. We then call you to schedule a short visit to place your professionally fabricated permanent crown when it arrives from our lab.
