What to expect from Porcelain Crowns?
The porcelain crown process is designed to provide a comfortable experience and a precise, natural-looking result. During your visit, Dr. Figueredo evaluates the affected tooth, prepares it for restoration, and takes detailed impressions or digital scans to create a crown that fits your smile perfectly. Once the custom crown is completed, it is carefully placed and adjusted to ensure proper function, comfort, and appearance. With proper care, porcelain crowns can provide years of reliable protection and support.
- Customized fit: Each crown is designed to match your bite, tooth shape, and natural smile.
- Restored function: Porcelain crowns help you chew comfortably while protecting your weakened tooth.

Frequently
asked questions
How long do porcelain crowns last?
With proper care, porcelain crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help extend their lifespan.
Is getting a crown painful?
The procedure is performed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Some temporary sensitivity after treatment is normal and usually resolves quickly.
Will the crown match my natural teeth?
Yes. Porcelain crowns are customized to match the color, shape, and appearance of your surrounding teeth.
