Porcelain Crowns (Caps)
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.
Reasons for crowns:
What does getting a crown involve?
A crown procedure usually requires two appointments. Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom crown. A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new crown is fabricated by a dental laboratory.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the crown. Once these details are accomplished, your temporary crown will be placed with temporary cement and your bite will be checked to ensure you are biting properly.
At your second appointment your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be carefully placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate.
You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown.

"We’ve been in New Jersey for a long time and have taken our child to several dentists for regular visits, but our experience with Dr. Nishi Kumar and her team has been outstanding. From the very first appointment, she connected with my child in such a warm and caring way that put him at ease immediately. We originally saw Dr. Kumar for a second opinion on a deep cavity. Other dentists had recommended sedation and a hospital procedure, but Dr. Kumar took a different, much more thoughtful approach. Using her advanced 360-degree X-ray machine, she quickly and painlessly evaluated my child’s entire dental structure. Thanks to this technology and her expertise, she was able to decide on the spot to clean and fill the cavity—saving him from a more invasive and stressful hospital visit. Her professionalism, compassion, and state-of-the-art equipment make dental visits quick, comfortable, and stress-free. I highly recommend Dr. Nishi Kumar for anyone looking for a comple ..."
