Porcelain Crowns

What are porcelain crowns?

Where veneers correct aesthetic problems, porcelain crowns correct both functional and aesthetic problems. Porcelain crowns provide strength and durability to weak, cracked or damaged teeth. Age often plays a big factor in the deterioration of teeth. As the teeth become weaker, patients may experience pain and discomfort. When the root of the tooth is still intact but the surface is weak, a porcelain crown can be applied to provide a natural looking and long-lasting solution.

How do I know if I'm a good candidate for porcelain crowns?

If your teeth are structurally compromised and weakened from tooth decay, grinding, hard chewing, or trauma, dental crowns are necessary to prevent further damage. If you have a tooth that is beginning to deteriorate, schedule a dental consultation with Dr. Ayoub to learn more about the benefits of tooth crowns. Dr. Ayoub is a skilled dentist who can help restore and protect your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions?

Does Dr. Ayoub use Lumineers?

No, Dr. Ayoubdoesn't use Lumineers for a few reasons. Lumineers often look and feel very bulky, which can be uncomfortable for patients. They often agitate the gums. In fact, many patients come to Dr. Ayoub to replace their Lumineers with custom porcelain veneers.

What are the benefits of using porcelain for crowns and veneers over composite material?

Dr. Ayoub, a veneers dentist at Ayoub Dental Corporation, uses porcelain because it is stronger, less prone to chipping and staining, and lasts longer than composite material. Porcelain veneers can last 12-25 years, whereas composite veneers typically last 4-8 years. Porcelain provides superior functional and aesthetic results.

How long will the dental crown last?

Crowns will typically last around 10 years.

Will I have to change my oral hygiene routine after getting veneers or crowns?

You will continue to brush and floss as you normally would. Additionally, it is important to continue seeing Dr. Ayoub for routine dental check-ups and cleanings.

Should I be careful when eating with veneers?

Will my teeth be shaved down for veneers?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Ayoub provides total care dentistry using all available up-to-date techniques and technology that can be found in modern dentistry. It is great having such a talented and experienced dentist in Orange County. Dental care is complex and intricate. I have delt with many dentists over the years since I cracked my front teeth on a sidewalk in my youth (my foot got caught between the edge of the grass and the sidewalk). I have seen many, many dentists because of this fall and therefore I am able to highly recommend Dr. Ayoub above them all, and have now been seeing him for over 10 years. He is honest and straight forward when evaluating your teeth. The compliments I have received such as “you have great teeth” and “you look great for your age” is a testament to his skill and workmanship. Dr. Ayoub can give to his patients a life of healthy gums and beautiful teeth. On top of this his dental hygienist Janelle O'Rork is the best hygienist I have. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. Dr. Ayoub dental assistants and front desk staff makes me feel comfortable and are very attentive on all my visits.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's taken me 10+ years to visit the dentist because I've had bad experiences with other dentists from my past. Let me just say I'm so happy and confident again because of Dr. Ayoub and his entire staff. Their kindness and compassion towards me was something I had never experienced at a dental office. I cannot thank them enough – and I could not recommend them higher.
