Like porcelain fillings, porcelain crowns and bridges are tooth colored, enamel-like restorations fabricated by a highly skilled dental technician and permanently bonded to your existing tooth. While a porcelain filling (inlay or onlay) only covers a portion of the tooth, a porcelain crown covers the entire tooth surface.

Porcelain crowns are completed in 2 appointments and are indicated to:

• restore the natural anatomy of teeth that are severely worn, fractured or decayed
• protect and strengthen teeth that have large fillings or have undergone root canal therapy
• replace old, defective metal-based porcelain crowns

Porcelain bridges are completed in 2 appointments and are indicated to:

• fill a space to replace missing teeth
• replace old, defective metal-based porcelain bridges
• splint together loose, periodontally involved teeth
