What Are Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns, also known as dental crowns or ceramic crowns, are custom-made caps crafted from high-quality porcelain. They are designed to fully cover and protect damaged or compromised teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.
Benefits of Porcelain Crowns:
- Enhanced Appearance: Achieve a flawless smile by improving the shape, size, and colour of your teeth.
- Natural Look: Porcelain crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, delivering a realistic and attractive result.
- Durability: Crowns are long-lasting and provide a durable solution for many years.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain resists staining, ensuring your smile stays bright.
- Restorative Function: Crowns can strengthen and protect weakened or damaged teeth, enhancing their functionality.
What Does the Process Involve?
The process of getting porcelain crowns typically includes these steps:
1. Consultation: Your journey starts with a consultation with Dr. Dentith in Manchester. During this consultation, your goals will be discussed, and the suitability of porcelain crowns for your specific case will be assessed.
2. Digital Impressions: Photos and digital scans of your teeth will be taken. These will be used to create a digital mock-up, showing you the proposed outcome of your new crowns.
3. Preparation of Your Teeth: To prepare your teeth for crowns, a small amount of enamel may be removed. This ensures a snug fit for your crowns. In some cases, minimal to no tooth reduction may be necessary. Temporary crowns may be placed while the permanent ones are being crafted.
4. Porcelain Crown Placement: The final porcelain crowns are bonded to your teeth, and any necessary final adjustments are made.
How Much Do Porcelain Crowns Cost?
Porcelain crowns are priced at £750 per crown. Depending on your case, you may need crowns for one or both arches. The typical cost for a full arch of crowns is usually in the range of £6000 to £9000 depending on the number of teeth treated.
