Porcelain Crowns: A Natural-Looking Solution from Our Renton Family Dentist
At Pure Dental Care, we believe every smile should be as healthy as it is beautiful. If you’re dealing with a damaged or severely discolored tooth, a porcelain crown may be the perfect solution. Designed to match the color, shape, and function of your natural teeth, porcelain crowns are a durable and aesthetically pleasing option for restoring your smile.
As your trusted Renton family dentist, Dr. Shih takes a personalized approach to every treatment. Porcelain crowns are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not so compromised that it needs to be extracted. Whether the tooth is cracked, weakened after a root canal, or cosmetically flawed, a crown can strengthen the structure while blending seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain is a strong, stain-resistant material that mimics the natural translucency of enamel, making it ideal for cosmetic restorations. Unlike metal crowns, porcelain crowns offer a completely natural look—no dark lines or metallic shine. They’re custom-crafted to ensure an exact fit, restoring both the look and function of your tooth.
The Crown Placement Process
Our Renton family dentist will begin by preparing the affected tooth, which may include reshaping it slightly to accommodate the crown. Then, we’ll take precise digital impressions that are sent to a trusted dental lab. While your permanent crown is being created, we’ll fit you with a temporary crown to protect your tooth. Once ready, your permanent crown will be bonded in place—leaving you with a strong, confident smile.
Long-Lasting Results with Proper Care
With regular brushing, flossing, and routine visits to our Renton family dentist, porcelain crowns can last for many years. We’ll provide guidance on how to maintain your crown and protect your overall oral health. If you're ready to restore your smile with a natural-looking solution, contact Pure Dental Care today. We’re proud to offer high-quality cosmetic dentistry services that help patients of all ages look and feel their best.
