A crown cap is a protective covering that fully encases a tooth, restoring its original size and shape. This solution is often necessary for severely damaged, decayed, or fractured teeth. Porcelain caps for front teeth are especially popular because they blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing an enhanced appearance without compromising function.

Several conditions may necessitate a dental crown:

• Tooth decay that weakens the structure
• Cracked or fractured teeth that need reinforcement
• Root canal-treated teeth that require extra protection
• Large fillings that compromise tooth integrity
• Cosmetic concerns, such as misshapen or severely discolored teeth

Ignoring these issues can lead to further damage, discomfort, and tooth loss.

Patients choose the Lumineers teeth procedure for a variety of reasons, including:

• Persistent tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods
• Pain when biting or chewing
• Visible cracks or fractures
• Large fillings that feel unstable
• A weakened tooth after a root canal treatment

Porcelain crowns are the preferred choice for many patients due to their aesthetic and functional advantages:

• Natural appearance: They match the color, shape, and size of your teeth
• Longevity: With proper care, dental crowns can last over 15 years
• Stain resistance: Unlike natural enamel, porcelain is highly resistant to staining
• Biocompatibility: No metal allergies or reactions, making it a safe choice for all patients

Porcelain crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials that mimic the translucency and strength of natural teeth. Unlike metal-based crowns, porcelain options provide superior aesthetics and eliminate the risk of metal allergies.
