Contact UsWhat Are Porcelain Crowns?
Teeth that have been weakened by moderate damage or decay are restored using crown restoration. Our patient-centered facility provides these dental restorations to Las Vegas, NV patients to protect and cover the aesthetic portion of a single tooth while also recovering its shape and size. Crowns are utilized for the back and front teeth and may be made from ceramic or additional natural-looking materials, porcelain fused to metal, or precious metal (like gold). Crown restorations are crafted to mimic existing teeth and are oftentimes used to resolve broken teeth, tooth decay, teeth that are oddly shaped, or other forms of damage. Dental restorations also can be fused into an appliance to create a dental bridge or placed over individual dental implants to replace a tooth that has been lost. Schedule a visit with our dental experts at Elegant Smiles to find out whether a custom porcelain crown may restore the quality of your smile.
What to Expect During A Porcelain Crown Procedure
At Elegant Smiles, our dental experts can examine your tooth and help you determine the right type of dental crown procedure for your personal oral health needs and smile preferences. Las Vegas, NV men and women might benefit from having a dental crown placed to resolve several oral conditions and improve the proper function and aesthetic appeal of a tooth. The more common reasons for performing a dental crown procedure are:
- Teeth that have cracks or fractures
- Worn or eroded teeth
- Deeply stained or odd-shaped teeth
- Moderate-sized cavities
- Replacement of large fillings
- Teeth that have received a root canal
- For the fabrication of a dental bridge
- To restore individual dental implants
The dental crown procedure commonly takes place over two visits. At your initial appointment, one of our highly trained dental experts will administer local anesthesia to your tooth and might incorporate sedation dentistry services to enhance your comfort level if preferred. When the affected area is taken care of, an impression of the tooth will be captured and used by a professional laboratory to craft your customized porcelain crown. A provisional restoration will cover the tooth to sustain normal function and a lifelike appearance throughout the time your new restoration is being fabricated. You will come back to Elegant Smiles in 1 – 2 weeks afterward so that you can have the provisional crown taken off and your new porcelain crown attached to the tooth or dental implant. Once it is in place, your new crown will be smoothed as needed to make certain it feels comfortable in your mouth. One of our staff members will discuss the ideal way to care for your new restoration and demonstrate flossing and brushing practices. With proper care, a restoration should help preserve your oral health for several years.
Elegant Smiles Reviews
Although I live in California, I followed Dr. Phan from his previous practice to his own new office. I first went to him for a crown, which fit perfectly from the beginning. I appreciate Dr. Phan's conservative approach to restorative dentistry rather than over-rotating on unnecessary cosmetic dentistry. He is thorough with his explanation of what needs to be done and is very meticulous with his work. I continue to return to Dr. Phan for second opinions when local dentists recommend filling replacements, crowns, and even a root canal. In most cases, he has found them unnecessary, and they have continued to last for years. When he does recommend treatment, I make sure to go back to Dr. Phan, with whom I have deep trust. He works with you to create the best treatment options for your smile with a gentle style that delivers a pain free experience. The massage chairs and ceiling TV add to the comfortable experience they pride themselves on. Highly recommend!

I’ve finally found my forever dentists! I’ve lived/worked in the U.S. and several other countries, so I’ve seen my fair share for dentists. By far, Dr. Phan and Dr. Huynh stand far above the rest. I say this with true sincerity — they are highly knowledgeable, personable, and communicative. I always leave learning something new (modern & clean facilities!), and feel comfortable communicating what I’m feeling (during in-person visits or through their very convenient text messaging reminder/communication platform). What I appreciate about them most is their transparency and honesty. No pressure to get excessive, costly treatments. No shaming for not doing this or that. They were candid and direct from the very start; detailing a comprehensive treatment plan that listed priority treatments, and worked with my insurance to ensure I was clear with my share from the beginning. In my experience, it’s been rare to find dentists like this, so I am grateful for Elegant Smiles. In short, they make going to the dentist a very pleasant experience and I would highly recommend them! Before I forget, kudos to their accommodating staff, most especially Annie (dental technician) and Sonia (admin/receptionist) who are welcoming and make every visit enjoyable. They give great dental advice (WaterPik, anyone?) and - as an added bonus - in our conversations, recommend the best places to eat in Vegas. A dental office that appreciates the better things in life (good food) AND makes sure you take the best care of your teeth? I consider that a win-win! (PS: In my verbosity, I failed to mention how I first found them. One morning, one of my crowns came off. I was frantically looking for a dentist in Las Vegas (due to the pandemic, I temporarily relocated back to the U.S. and did not have a regular dentist I saw stateside). Fortunately, I came across Elegant Smiles. Initially, they could not take me in immediately, but then called me back 15 minutes later to say they’d be able to take me in later that afternoon prior to closing. On a Thursday, their last day of the work week. Positive omen #1, right? Perhaps it was serendipitous because I needed to also get other dental work done but was putting it off because I couldn’t find the right dentist in the country I work or in the U.S. Until now.)
I had a very pleasant experience as a new patient yesterday. The staff members Kayla and Maria were delightful and sweet, Dr Huynh is attentive, efficient, and awesome. My first visit was very smooth starting with Xray then cleaning. I was able to book an appointment for 4 crowns in one day in 2 days! The clinic is clean and has a good vibe. Id highly recommend it.

About UsPorcelain Crowns FAQs
How do I maintain my porcelain crown after placement?
After the placement of a porcelain crown, regular and effective oral hygiene is essential. This includes brushing at least twice daily, flossing daily, and regular check-ups with your dentist. While porcelain crowns are resistant to staining, you should still limit the consumption of stain-causing food and beverages to maintain their brightness.
Can porcelain crowns be used in conjunction with other dental treatments?
Porcelain crowns can be combined with various dental treatments. They often serve as a part of more complex procedures like dental bridges, implants, or even as a measure to protect a tooth after a root canal treatment.
What can I expect from the longevity of my porcelain crown?
While the lifespan of porcelain crowns can vary depending on individual circumstances and oral hygiene habits, they typically last about 10-15 years. Some can even last up to 20 years or more with excellent care. Regular dental visits will help ensure the crown's longevity.
