PORCELAIN CROWNS

At Hentges Dental, we offer porcelain crowns—custom-made dental restorations that completely cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their strength, function, and appearance. These durable, natural-looking crowns are crafted from high-quality porcelain materials that closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel.

Porcelain crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are permanently cemented over existing teeth or dental implants. They're designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Modern porcelain materials are incredibly strong and can withstand the forces of normal chewing and biting.

Getting a porcelain crown typically requires two visits. During your first appointment, Dr. Zach Hentges prepares the tooth, takes impressions, and places a temporary crown. Your custom crown is then created in our dental laboratory. At your second visit, we remove the temporary crown and permanently cement your new porcelain crown in place.

Porcelain crowns offer numerous advantages, including excellent durability (often lasting 10-15 years or more), natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile, and the ability to restore both function and aesthetics. They're also biocompatible, meaning they won't cause allergic reactions, and they resist staining better than natural teeth.
