What are Dental Crowns?

Dental Crowns also known as “caps” are custom fabricated, tooth-shaped covering placed on an existing tooth. To prepare for a dental crown in St. Pete, the tooth decay or fractured area is removed and the outer layer of the tooth is shaved and shaped. Following the preparation, an impression of the tooth is taken and sent in to the laboratory. A custom tooth crown is made matching the shade, shape and size to your natural teeth. Sometimes a build up or post-core build up may be required for stability and strength, to replace lost tooth structure before capping the tooth.

The placement of a crown (or cap) may be necessary when a tooth:

  • is fractured
  • has a failing or leaking filling restoration
  • is cracked or broken
  • had root canal therapy
  • has large decay

Types of Dental Crowns

There are many different types of dental crowns. Common materials used in modern dentistry include:

  • PFZ Crowns – These crowns are also known as Porcelain Fused to Zirconia and combines strength, durability, and aesthetics.
  • Zirconia Crowns – These crowns are considered to be the strongest material and one of several newer materials that combine metal’s strength with the aesthetic, tooth-like appeal of porcelain.
  • Emax Ceramic Crowns – These crowns are made of a glass-ceramic material and provide more natural color and translucency and are suitable for those patients who are allergic to metal.
  • PFM Crowns – Porcelain fused to metal crowns. These crowns are metal with porcelain layered on top to match natural tooth shade.
  • Full Gold Cowns – Gold is an inert metal and is completely biocompatible with your body. Although these crowns aren’t that aesthetic, they are an excellent choice for molars.
  • Stainless Steel Crowns – These crowns are prefabricated and typically used on baby teeth for children to restore large decay on back teeth, as an alternative to extractions.

Questions & Answers

What is a porcelain crown?

A porcelain crown is a tooth-colored restoration used to repair damaged, decayed, cracked, or weakened teeth. Patients choose porcelain crowns for their natural appearance and long-lasting strength.

Am I a good candidate for a porcelain crown?

You may be a strong candidate if you have a tooth with a large filling, a fracture, discoloration, or a root canal. At our St. Pete practice, a dental evaluation will confirm whether a porcelain crown is the right solution.

How many visits do porcelain crowns require.?

Most patients complete treatment in two visits: one for tooth preparation and impressions, and a second visit to permanently cement the custom porcelain crown.

How long do porcelain crowns last for patients?

With proper care and routine dental checkups at our St. Pete practice, porcelain crowns can last many years—often 10 to 15 years or longer depending on oral hygiene and bite pressure.

Do porcelain crowns match the natural color of my teeth?

Yes. Porcelain crowns are custom-shaded to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, creating a natural, aesthetic result.

Are porcelain crowns a good solution for damaged teeth?

Porcelain crowns are ideal for patients with broken, worn-down, or severely decayed teeth. They restore both strength and appearance while protecting the remaining tooth structure.

Maintain normal oral hygiene: brush twice daily, floss around the crown, avoid chewing hard objects, and schedule regular cleanings at our St. Pete dental office to keep the crown and supporting tooth healthy.

What should I do if my porcelain crown becomes loose or cracked?

Contact our St. Petersburg office as soon as possible. A damaged or loose crown needs prompt attention to prevent decay or further tooth injury.
