Porcelain Crowns in Tamarac, FL

Restore Strength and Beauty with Custom Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are durable, tooth-colored restorations used to cover and protect teeth that are weakened, damaged, or cosmetically compromised. At South Florida Laser Dentistry, we craft custom porcelain crowns that not only restore your tooth’s function but also blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

Each crown is designed for long-term durability while preserving the appearance of your natural tooth structure. Whether you're dealing with a cracked tooth, large cavity, or post-root canal restoration, porcelain crowns provide a conservative yet highly effective solution.

When Is a Porcelain Crown Recommended?

Porcelain crowns are commonly used in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. You may need a crown for one of the following reasons:

• To restore a broken or severely worn tooth
• To protect a tooth after root canal therapy
• To reinforce a tooth with a large filling or crack
• To anchor a dental bridge in place
• To improve the shape, size, or color of a tooth for aesthetic purposes
• To restore a dental implant

If you're unsure whether a crown is right for your situation, our team will perform a comprehensive evaluation and provide a personalized treatment recommendation.

What to Expect During the Porcelain Crown Process

At South Florida Laser Dentistry, your porcelain crown treatment typically involves two visits:

1. Tooth Preparation & Impressions – The affected tooth is reshaped to make space for the crown. We then take digital impressions to ensure a precise fit and natural look. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while the permanent one is fabricated.
2. Crown Placement – Once your custom crown is ready, we remove the temporary and bond the new crown in place using a high-strength adhesive. Final adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable bite.

We work with top dental labs to craft porcelain crowns that are indistinguishable from natural teeth in color, shape, and shine.

The Benefits of Choosing Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are popular for their lifelike appearance and dependable performance. Here are some key benefits:

• Natural Aesthetics – Porcelain mimics the translucency of natural enamel, making crowns nearly invisible to the eye
• Stain Resistance – Porcelain resists staining better than natural tooth enamel
• Durability – With proper care, porcelain crowns can last 10–15 years or longer
• Biocompatibility – Porcelain is safe for the body and an excellent choice for patients with metal sensitivities

Frequently Asked Questions About Porcelain Crowns

How long do porcelain crowns last?

With proper care and regular dental visits, porcelain crowns can last between 10 to 15 years, or even longer. Good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive pressure on the crown will help extend its lifespan.

Is getting a porcelain crown painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience. You may experience slight sensitivity after the initial appointment, but it typically subsides within a few days.

In most cases, porcelain crowns are placed in two visits. However, if you require urgent care, our team offers same-day emergency appointments and will explore expedited options based on your needs.

How much do porcelain crowns cost?

Costs vary depending on your specific treatment plan and insurance coverage. We accept many insurance plans and offer affordable new patient promotions to help reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
