Porcelain Crowns

Serving Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale, Arizona

A porcelain crown covers your entire tooth while preserving the inside tissue. Dr. LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro use porcelain crowns to preserve teeth with large areas of decay and those that are too weak for fillings, inlays or onlays. A porcelain crown will look, feel, and act just like your natural tooth!

Preserving your tooth

A porcelain crown allows you to keep your natural tooth. It replaces the outside of your tooth, so you can use your tooth again. In many cases, the inside tissue is left intact.

Uses for crowns include:

• Large areas of decay
• Weak or brittle teeth
• Teeth which have been damaged by metal fillings and can no longer hold a filling
• After a root canal

Root canal

If the pulp of your tooth is decayed it must be removed, but a root canal will still allow you to keep your natural tooth. After a root canal, a porcelain crown will cover your tooth protecting it and providing strength.

Comfort

Your crown will allow you to chew normally again without the pain. Our advanced technology allows us to create a crown that fits perfectly, and our dentists’ LVI training in neuromuscular dentistry means that your crown and your natural teeth will work together properly and comfortably. Dr. LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro work with five specialized labs to create precision porcelain restorations.

Beauty

A porcelain crown will look just like your natural tooth. Porcelain reflects light just like your tooth enamel, so the crown looks real and alive. Keeping your natural tooth help to prevent bone loss and gum shrinkage, preserving the beauty of your smile for years to come.

Options

Our dentists prefer the beauty and strength of porcelain crowns but will place a gold crown for you if you prefer.
