About Porcelain Dental Crowns

There are many materials that a dentist can choose from when creating a dental crown. In many cases, Dr. Wallach will recommend a metal-free choice like a porcelain dental crown because of their tooth-like appearance. Whatever type of crown we select, you can be sure that it will be very comfortable, beautiful and durable.

Benefits of Porcelain Dental Crowns

Metal free – do not cause discoloration along the gum like conventional metal dental caps

Extremely natural looking – porcelain dental crowns are made of layers of fine ceramic material, to match natural tooth enamel

Long lasting – porcelain dental crowns are highly durable, as well as stain resistant, meaning they will last for years to come

Dental Crown Procedure Overview

A dental crown procedure generally takes 2 to 3 office visits. To start, Dr. Wallach will remove any existing crowns or fillings and prepare the tooth for the new tooth crown, removing as little tooth structure as necessary to ensure a stable fit. He will select the best material for your restoration and may place a temporary dental crown to protect your tooth while the new crown is being made.

Once the permanent dental crown has arrived from the laboratory, Dr. Wallach will have the patient “try it on” for fit and color. He will make any minor adjustments in the office before securing the crown with a special adhesive.

Dental Crown Frequently Asked Questions

Is the dental crown procedure painful?

No, a dental crown is a comfortable procedure. We may offer you a local anesthetic or light sedative to help you feel more comfortable and relaxed. You may experience some sensitivity immediately following treatment, but that will not last more than a few days.

How much does a dental crown cost?

The cost of a dental crown is determined by the choice of material, location of the tooth, and the specific condition of the patient. Before Dr. Wallach begins treatment, he will complete a full review of the procedure including the dental crown cost. Nyack Smiles will submit dental insurance claims on your behalf.

I have a gold dental crown, can I have it replaced with a porcelain dental crown?

Yes, Dr. Wallach can replace metal dental crowns, broken or worn dental crowns with new, porcelain dental crowns. Replacing dental crowns is a simple procedure that can provide dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile.
