Porcelain Crowns (Caps)
Crowns, also known as caps, are used to restore
damaged teeth to a functioning level by
protecting them from further damage. Crowns may
protect a cracked or excessively decayed tooth.
They serve to restore a tooths strength, size,
shape, and overall appearance. In the past, most
crowns were made of metal materials, making them
very obvious in a persons mouth. Now, Dr. Gilbert
can fit your tooth with a natural-looking
porcelain crown.

How Long Does it Take to Get a Porcelain Crown?
Getting a crown usually requires two appointments
in Dr. Gilberts office. He will first take
impressions, or molds, of the tooth that is to be
covered by the crown. You will be fitted with a
temporary crown between visits while your new
crown is being constructed in a laboratory. All
decay will be removed from the affected tooth and
it will be accurately shaped to fit the new
crown. During the second appointment, your tooth
will be cleaned and fitted with the new
crown. Dr. Gilbert also offers a single
appointment for getting a porcelain crown
utilizing CAD/CAM technology in appropriate
instances.

How Long Do Porcelain Crowns Last?
Porcelain crowns can last anywhere from five to
fifteen years. With proper care, they may last
indefinitely. Proper care involves regular
checkups and dental exams, as well as keeping the
crown clean and free of plaque with good oral
hygiene habits.
