Porcelain Crowns in Austin

What are dental crowns?

Dental crowns are also known as caps. They’re a permanently bonded cover for a tooth that is decayed, broken, chipped, cracked or in danger of cracking. They look and function the same way as natural teeth, and strengthen and protect the tooth they cover.

Dental crowns can be made of porcelain, gold, or a porcelain and metal mix.

Caring for your dental crown

After the porcelain crown procedure is done at our dental office, it is home for care of your new dental crown. Keep the porcelain dental crown clean with regular flossing and brushing, just as you do with your natural teeth. It will look and feel exactly like a natural tooth and will preserve the natural tooth underneath it for many years as you give it good care.

If you’re interested in the world-class porcelain dental crowns placed in Dr. Tejas Patel’s office, please schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Patel, through our treatment coordinator.
