Porcelain Crowns

Dr. Brain Lin - Summit Dental Center

Achieve the confident, healthy smile you have always dreamed of with our wide range of cosmetic dental services. Porcelain crowns are one such solution that can dramatically improve both your confidence and appearance!

What are porcelain crowns?

Porcelain crowns offer a permanent solution to dental issues such as broken teeth, cracked or fractured enamel and decay. Acting like a cap, the crown is placed over your already-treated tooth in order to protect it from further damage - usually after a root canal has been performed. With this protective covering you can ensure that your exposed tooth will remain safe for years to come.

There are several benefits associated with porcelain crowns, including:

Shield your teeth from decay or damage
Support your teeth with structure.
Elevate the beauty of your smile with a dazzling set of teeth.

Are Crowns Right for Me?

In order to determine if a porcelain crown is the best option for your dental needs, consulting with Dr. Brian Lin is essential. If it's agreed that this technique will benefit you most, then two additional appointments are required - usually spaced between 7 and 10 days apart.

At your first visit to Summit Dental Center, you'll have a temporary crown put in place. Then at the second appointment, the permanent crown is ready to be placed while we make sure that you're relaxed with anesthesia throughout the procedure.

What is the Average Cost of a Porcelain Crown?

If you do not have any dental insurance coverage, the typical cost for a porcelain crown is around $1,500 to $2,500 - excluding additional services such as root canals. Not only does this price include the crown itself but it also covers all related procedures that may be necessary during its placement.

When you require a new crown, the procedure is usually more cost-effective than when it was initially placed.
