Porcelain Crowns in Ormond Beach, FL

Porcelain crowns are an excellent solution for restoring the appearance, function, and strength of damaged teeth. At Dan Drake DDS and Associates in Ormond Beach, FL, we specialize in providing high-quality porcelain crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you’re looking to protect a weakened tooth, enhance your smile, or replace an old crown, our team is here to deliver exceptional care tailored to your needs.

What Are Porcelain Crowns?

Porcelain crowns, also known as dental caps, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. Designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, porcelain crowns are an ideal option for restoring both the function and aesthetic of damaged or decayed teeth.

Porcelain is a popular material for crowns because it is:

  • Tooth-Colored: Matches the shade and translucency of natural teeth.

  • Durable: Withstands daily wear and tear.

  • Biocompatible: Safe and gentle on surrounding gum tissue.

Benefits of Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns offer a variety of advantages, including:

  • Natural Appearance: The lifelike look of porcelain ensures a seamless blend with your smile.

  • Restored Functionality: Crowns restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably.

  • Long-Lasting Protection: Shields your tooth from further damage and decay.

  • Versatility: Used for cosmetic improvements, restorative needs, and tooth reinforcement.

  • Stain Resistance: Porcelain resists discoloration, maintaining its appearance over time.

When Are Porcelain Crowns Recommended?

Porcelain crowns may be recommended for:

  • Teeth with large cavities or decay that cannot be fixed with a filling.

  • Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth.

  • Strengthening a tooth after a root canal procedure.

  • Enhancing the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

  • Replacing old or worn-out crowns.

During your consultation, our team will assess your dental needs and determine if a porcelain crown is the best option for you.

The Porcelain Crown Process

At Dan Drake DDS and Associates, we use advanced techniques to ensure your porcelain crown fits comfortably and looks natural:

  1. Initial Consultation and Tooth Preparation

    • The tooth is cleaned, and any damaged areas are removed.

    • The tooth is shaped to create space for the crown.

    • Digital impressions are taken to design your custom crown.

  2. Temporary Crown Placement

    • While your permanent crown is being fabricated in a dental lab, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.

  3. Final Crown Placement

    • Once your porcelain crown is ready, it is bonded to your tooth, and adjustments are made for a perfect fit.

The entire process typically takes two visits to complete.

Caring for Your Porcelain Crowns

To keep your porcelain crowns in excellent condition:

  • Brush and floss daily to maintain gum health and prevent decay around the crown.

  • Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens to prevent chipping.

  • Visit us regularly for checkups to ensure the crown and surrounding teeth remain in great shape.

With proper care, porcelain crowns can last 10–15 years or more.
