A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. When cemented into place, dental crowns fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. Here in Saratoga Springs & Gloversville, Dr. Alexandra Porcu at Harrison Family Dentists offers high-quality dental crowns that are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth. With advanced technology and a keen eye for aesthetics, Dr. Porcu ensures that each dental crown is a perfect fit for your smile.
Dental crowns are a versatile solution for a variety of dental issues. If a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or discolored, a dental crown can restore its appearance and function. Dental crowns can also be used to hold a dental bridge in place or to cover a dental implant. Furthermore, if a tooth is at risk of breaking or cracking due to extensive fillings or other restorations, a dental crown can provide additional strength and protection. With a dental crown, you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence again. Contact our Saratoga Springs & Gloversville dental office today for more information!
Dental crowns can last between 5 and 15 years, depending on their care and usage!

Dental crowns can significantly enhance the appearance of your smile. Whether it's a tooth that's discolored, misshapen, or severely damaged, a dental crown can cover it up and make it look as good as new. Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain and ceramic, which can be matched to the color of your natural teeth for a seamless, natural look.
With a dental crown, you can restore the function of a damaged tooth. If a tooth is decayed or broken, it can be painful and difficult to use for eating and speaking. A dental crown covers the damaged tooth and restores its shape and size, making it easier and more comfortable to use.
Dental crowns are a long-lasting solution for damaged teeth. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last up to 15 years or more. This makes dental crowns a cost-effective solution for restoring the health and appearance of your smile.
The first step in getting a dental crown is an examination and preparation of the tooth. Dr. Porcu will examine the tooth and may take X-rays to check the roots of the tooth and surrounding bone. If the tooth is severely decayed or at risk of infection, a root canal treatment may be performed first. The tooth will then be reshaped to make room for the crown.
Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Porcu will take an impression of the tooth and the surrounding teeth. This impression will be sent to a dental lab, where your crown will be custom-made to fit your tooth and match your natural teeth. A temporary crown will be placed on your tooth to protect it while your permanent crown is being made.
After your permanent crown is ready, you will have another appointment to place it. Dr. Porcu will remove the temporary crown and check the fit and color of the permanent crown. If everything is satisfactory, the new crown will be cemented in place.
