Restore and Strengthen Your Smile with Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are used to repair teeth that are weakened, damaged, worn, or cosmetically compromised. At Zaller Family Dentistry, we provide natural-looking porcelain crowns designed to restore strength, protect remaining tooth structure, and blend seamlessly with your smile.
What Is a
Porcelain Crown?
A porcelain crown is a custom-made restoration that covers the visible portion of a tooth. It is often recommended when a tooth cannot be repaired with a filling alone.
Porcelain crowns may be used for:
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Large cavities

- Teeth treated with root canals
- Worn or weakened teeth
- Misshapen or discolored teeth

The Porcelain Crown Care Process
Comprehensive Exam and Treatment Planning
We begin by examining the tooth and taking digital X-rays if needed. This helps us determine whether a crown is the best option.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is carefully shaped so the crown can fit securely and comfortably over it.
Impressions or Digital Scans
Precise impressions or scans are taken to create a crown that matches your bite and smile.
Temporary Crown Placement
A temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth while the final crown is being made.
Final Crown Placement
Once ready, the porcelain crown is bonded in place and adjusted for comfort, fit, and bite alignment.
