Everything You Need to Know About Porcelain Dental Crowns

Crowns Stronger Than Real Teeth in Mississauga ON Area

One of several restorative dentistry procedures available with Dr. Jameela Jifri and her team at Huron Dental Centre is porcelain dental crowns. If you live in or around the Mississauga, Ontario, area and want to speak with one of our team members about restorations such as this, we invite you to learn more during a consultation visit at our office. Here are five key points about porcelain dental crowns that our team frequently shares in our state-of-the-art dental office:

The Importance of Porcelain Dental Crowns for Tooth Protection
Porcelain dental crowns are designed to protect and strengthen damaged or weak teeth. They are made from a durable material that can withstand normal biting forces and chewing. However, they may not be as strong as natural teeth. To maintain the strength of your crown, it is important to practice good oral hygiene and avoid habits like grinding or clenching your teeth.
Understanding the Lifespan of Porcelain Dental Crowns
The lifespan of porcelain dental crowns can vary depending on several factors, such as oral hygiene, diet, and personal habits. On average, a well-maintained porcelain crown can last five to ten years. However, they may even last longer with appropriate care and regular dental exams and check-ups!
Potential Risks of Porcelain Dental Crowns
As with any dental procedure, some potential risks are associated with getting a porcelain dental crown. These include even sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, risk of infection at the site of the crown placement, and possible damage to the underlying tooth structure during the preparation process.
What to Expect During Your Porcelain Crown Procedure
The process of getting a porcelain dental crown should not be painful. Our dentist uses local anesthesia to numb the area before preparing the tooth for the crown placement. You may feel some discomfort or sensitivity in the days following the procedure; however, this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. If you experience any severe pain or discomfort, it is critical that you contact our team immediately.
Caring for Your Porcelain Dental Crown
You can eat and drink normally with a properly placed porcelain dental crown. However, it’s important to avoid biting or chewing on hard objects, such as hard candy, pen caps, or ice, as these can damage the crown. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups are essential for ensuring the longevity of your porcelain dental crown.
