Get Beautiful Porcelain Crowns in Daly City
Dental crowns can both repair and strengthen your pre-existing tooth, making them an excellent solution for severely damaged teeth. Because they are placed over the original structure, dental crowns are often referred to as “teeth caps.”
These crowns are normally reserved for teeth that have extensive damage that traditional fillings would be unable to repair. With a variety of dental crowns to choose from, porcelain crowns have become very popular at our South San Francisco office due to their translucent tooth-like quality.
Possible Uses for Dental Crowns:
- Protection for teeth that are either cracked or decayed.
- Strengthening a tooth that may be too weak for a porcelain veneer.
- Dental bridge support.
The Restoration Process with Porcelain Crowns
If a porcelain crown is recommended at your consultation with South San Francisco dentist Dr. Hovden, DDS, the full restoration process usually takes about 2–3 visits. After the initial preparation, Dr. Hovden will take dental impressions in Daly City. These are then sent to laboratory professionals, who will create a dental crown specifically crafted to your unique smile. During this time you will have a temporary crown to wear.
