What You Can Expect From A Porcelain CrownYou will have a total of two appointments to receive your porcelain crown. The first appointment will consist of the dentist prepping the tooth. Part of prepping the tooth will include a cleaning that will remove all bacteria and decay. It is important for your tooth to thoroughly be cleaned before adhering a crown to it, to make sure there is no hidden bacteria or decay still present. After the tooth is cleaned, the dentist will create a molding after a bit of enamel is removed. It is necessary to remove a slight amount of enamel so that the crown can be placed on top of your tooth and fit both comfortably and properly. During a second appointment, the dentist will have the permanent porcelain crown affixed on the tooth and ensure that it is attached snugly and sealed into place. Caring for Your New Porcelain CrownCaring for your new crown will not require any special maintenance, other than regularly brushing and flossing your teeth. You should be sure to brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once daily. It is important to keep your teeth clean and plaque free.
