Dental Crowns

 Crowns made with porcelain fused to high noble metal are priced approximately. $353 USD​ each; or you can choose Zirconium Ceramic Crowns, pure porcelain crowns priced approximately $450​ USD​ each. Both look great, but the Zirconium will resemble more the color, texture and translucency of natural teeth.​Specially if is one of your front teeth.​ They are unbreakable, these crowns are virtually impossible to distinguish from real teeth. It has a translucency that is very similar to natural teeth. Light is reflected from a pure porcelain crown in much the same way than natural tooth.  The time for porcelain fused to metal crowns treatment is performed between 5 and 8 days depending in the specific condition of the patient. Most of the time the treatment is done after 72 hours. The time required for Zirconium crowns is 8 days for the full procedure.

Crown procedure

On your first visit, your dentist makes a molded impression of the tooth to send to the dental laboratory. A temporary crown is made during this visit to protect the tooth until the final restoration is ready. The final crown takes ​1​ week to be ready.

On your next visit, local anesthesia is given to your tooth and the gum tissue around it. Then, the tooth, on which the crown will be placed, is filed down along the chewing surface and sides to make room for the crown. The amount of tooth that needs to be filed depends on the type of crown. All-metal crowns are thinner and will fit in with minimal tooth structure removal, whereas porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal ones will require more filing. But, if, a large portion of your tooth is missing (because of decay or damage), the gap in your tooth has to be filled up so that it can support the crown.

The crown, when cemented into place, fully encases the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

If ​you​ can stay in PV. for 8 to 10 days will be perfect; just in case something needs to be repeated.
