Porcelain Crowns By Berkeley CA Dentist Dr. Mark Perez DDS, Cosmetic Dentists In El Cerrito, Berkeley, Kensington, California (CA) Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry

Porcelain Crowns

All porcelain crowns are a beautiful solution to an ugly problem. Recreating a healthy, natural appearance for teeth that are damaged can be done quickly and comfortable by means of all-porcelain crowns. Preserving your natural teeth is always the goal of conservative and skillful cosmetic dentist, Dr. Perez. Porcelain crowns can restore teeth that are:

• cracked
• broken
• discolored
• weakened by large fillings
• missing and being replaced with implants

All-porcelain crowns are renowned for their strength, beauty, and ability to mimic the look of natural teeth. A beautiful porcelain cap is placed to fit snugly over the tooth, instantly restoring it to it’s youthful beauty and integrity. Because of their superlative beauty, meticulous dentist Dr. Perez only uses all-porcelain crowns, leaving no ugly tell-tale gray line along the gum line like those left by porcelain/metal crowns.

The health and beauty of your teeth can be restored and protected in just a couple of easy, comfortable visits with Dr. Perez.

Dentistry for the Perfect Fit

Porcelain crowns can be created with the same artistry as our porcelain veneers; creating a very beautiful, really natural look. Porcelain/metal crowns lack the ability to look totally natural. They leave a dark line along the gum and don't have the ability to reflect light in the same natural looking way as all-porcelain crowns do.

Dr. Perez uses all his skill and experience as a cosmetic dentist to make the crown look and feel like your natural tooth. After a crown is placed, a very important step is making sure that it has been fitted correctly to ensure the comfortable function of the teeth and jaw. By making sure that the bite alignment is working correctly, Dr. Perez protects both the tooth and your investment; guarding against any future damage.

A crown is usually placed in 2 visits with the dentist. On your first visit, the impressions and designs for the crown are sent to the expert ceramists at our lab to create your perfect restoration. Then, Dr. Perez will create a hand-made bonding restoration that will serve as a temporary crown and that you will leave with that day. He takes the time to make sure that this fits the tooth just right and will look great.

When your permanent crown is finished it will be bonded into place, giving you a strong, long-lasting, and beautiful new tooth.
