A porcelain crown and cap act as a protective covering, encasing the entire tooth surface to restore its original shape and size. At Hekmat Dental Care practice, we specialize in providing top-notch porcelain crowns and caps, offering both durability and a natural, tooth-colored appearance.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain, known for its natural tooth-like color, is the preferred material for crowns. Here’s why:
Aesthetic Resemblance:
Porcelain crowns closely resemble your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.
Durability:
Highly durable, porcelain crowns stand the test of time, offering longevity to your dental restorations.
Common Reasons for Needing a Crown or Cap:
Broken or Fractured Teeth: Restore the integrity of damaged teeth.
Cosmetic Enhancement: Achieve a beautiful and natural-looking smile.
Decayed Teeth: Provide a protective layer for teeth affected by decay.
Fractured Fillings: Reinforce and repair teeth with fractured fillings.
Large Fillings: Ideal for teeth requiring extensive restoration.
After Root Canal Treatment: Strengthen and protect teeth that have undergone root canal procedures.
The Porcelain Crown Procedure
First Appointment:

- Temporary crown placement with temporary cement is done, with a focus on bite alignment.
Second Appointment:
- Temporary crown removal, tooth cleaning, and careful placement of the new porcelain crown.
- Detailed checks for accurate spacing and bite.
