What's a porcelain crown?

A porcelain crown is a dental fixture placed on the top of a tooth that has decayed or has been cracked or otherwise damaged. Using special cement to bond the crown to the top of the tooth, Dr. Nien can create a new chewing surface, and protect the existing tooth from further damage. A porcelain crown functions as well as or better than a natural tooth and is virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth. If the damage to the tooth is extensive, our doctor may advise removing the tooth and placing a dental bridge or implant.

What makes our crowns stand out?
