What can a porcelain dental crown do for me?
Dental crowns cover a tooth to provide it with protection and stability. Crowns are most often used after a dental procedure like a root canal. However, dentists can use a dental crown for a variety of other reasons, including:

• to stabilize a damaged tooth
• to improve the appearance of a tooth
• to cover a dental implant to replace a missing tooth
• to anchor a dental bridge into place
• to protect a compromised tooth

The Porcelain Dental Crown Process in Lexington Park, MD, and Gaithersburg, MD

Your crowning process will usually take at least two dental appointments. At your first appointment, your dentist will prepare your tooth to receive the crown then take an impression of your mouth. A dental laboratory will create the crown based on the impression, a process which lasts about two weeks. After the crown is complete, you will have a second appointment with your dentist to fit and permanently place the crown.
