What Are
Porcelain Crowns
A porcelain crown is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth. It reinforces weakened or damaged teeth while restoring natural shape, size, and color. Crafted to mimic the translucency and tone of real enamel, porcelain crowns offer the perfect balance of strength and beauty.
They’re often used to repair fractured teeth, protect teeth after root canal treatment, or improve the appearance of teeth that are misshapen or discolored. At our Jenkintown dental office, Dr. Goldwater uses advanced materials like porcelain, zirconia, and e.max to create restorations that are both functional and lifelike.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING?
Porcelain Crowns?
Getting a porcelain crown is a comfortable, multi-step process designed to restore strength, beauty, and function to your tooth. Each step is performed with precision to ensure your new crown looks natural and feels just like your own.
Tooth Preparation
Dr. Goldwater begins by carefully reshaping the damaged tooth and removing any decay. Precise impressions are taken to design a custom crown that fits perfectly and matches your surrounding teeth.
Temporary Crown Placement
While your permanent crown is being created in the lab, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth and maintain comfort and function.
Final Placement and Bonding
Once your permanent crown is ready, Dr. Goldwater ensures the fit, color, and bite are perfect before bonding it securely with advanced dental adhesives. The result is a natural-looking, comfortable restoration that enhances your smile.
At Dr. Brandon Goldwater’s dental practice in Jenkintown, we take a detail-oriented approach to every restoration. We use state-of-the-art digital design technology and high-quality materials to create crowns that are strong, precise, and beautifully natural.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do porcelain crowns last?
