If chipped, worn, or discolored teeth have you hiding your smile, porcelain crowns in Henderson, NV may be the ideal solution. At Marielaina Perrone DDS in Henderson, NV, we specialize in creating natural-looking, long-lasting dental crowns that restore both beauty and function.
Whether you're repairing a damaged tooth or seeking a full smile makeover, porcelain crowns are a time-tested cosmetic solution that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Let's explore how this innovative dental treatment can help you reclaim your confidence—one smile at a time.
What Are Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns, also known as metal-free crowns, are custom-designed dental restorations that fit over the visible portion of a tooth. Made from high-quality ceramic materials, these crowns restore the tooth’s strength and appearance while mimicking the translucency and luster of natural enamel.
These restorations are ideal for:
Repairing chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
Replacing old metal crowns for a more natural appearance
Concealing severe discoloration or stains
Reshaping uneven or misshapen teeth
Reinforcing teeth weakened by decay or wear
🦷 Did You Know? According to the American College of Prosthodontists, over 2.3 million crowns are placed each year in the U.S., with porcelain crowns being one of the most requested cosmetic options.
Cosmetic and Functional Benefits of Porcelain Crowns
✅ Natural-Looking Aesthetics
Porcelain closely replicates the look of natural enamel. When color-matched by a skilled cosmetic dentist like Marielaina Perrone, DDS your crown blends so perfectly with your existing teeth that it's virtually undetectable.
✅ Custom Color and Shape
Every porcelain crown is uniquely designed to match your facial features, tooth shade, and bite. This customization ensures a natural fit and function for both cosmetic and restorative purposes.
✅ Durability & Longevity
Porcelain crowns are extremely durable. With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or longer, standing up to daily wear and tear just like your natural teeth.
✅ Instant Confidence Boost
A repaired or enhanced smile can dramatically impact your confidence and self-esteem. Many of our patients say they smile more often, feel better in social settings, and even perform more confidently at work.

The Porcelain Crown Process at Marielaina Perrone DDS
1. Comprehensive Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough smile evaluation. Marielaina Perrone, DDS will discuss your concerns and goals, examine the affected teeth, and take digital scans to plan your treatment.
2. Tooth Preparation & Temporary Crown
A small amount of enamel is gently removed to prepare the tooth. Then, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while the custom porcelain crown is created.
3. Customization & Lab Fabrication
Your crown is hand-crafted by a top dental lab using your tooth color, shape, and bite as reference. This level of precision ensures the crown fits beautifully and functions perfectly.
4. Final Placement
Once ready, the temporary is removed, and the new porcelain crown is bonded in place with dental-grade adhesive. Marielaina Perrone, DDS makes any necessary adjustments and ensures a flawless finish.
Transform Your Smile: Cosmetic Uses of Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns aren't just for damaged teeth—they're also powerful tools in cosmetic smile enhancement. Here’s how they work their magic:
✨ Conceal Deep Discoloration
For teeth that don’t respond to whitening treatments, porcelain crowns can cover discoloration and provide a bright, uniform appearance.
✨ Correct Tooth Shape & Size
Uneven or small teeth can be recontoured for symmetry and harmony using porcelain crowns.
✨ Close Gaps Between Teeth
Crowns can fill in minor gaps (diastemas), improving both appearance and dental function.
✨ Restore Worn Teeth
Chronic grinding or erosion can be corrected with crowns that rebuild your natural bite and facial structure.
Porcelain Crowns vs. Other Options
Porcelain Crowns: Ideal for both cosmetic and structural correction. Durable and natural-looking.
Bonding: Less durable and better for minor cosmetic flaws.
Veneers: Great for front teeth but not suitable for weakened or decayed teeth.
Metal Crowns: Strong but less aesthetic and may cause allergic reactions.
Porcelain crowns offer the best of both worlds—form and function.
How Long Do Porcelain Crowns Last?
With excellent care, your crown can last 10 to 15 years or more. Here’s how to extend its life:
Brush and floss daily
Avoid chewing on hard objects (ice, pens, etc.)
Visit Dr. Perrone for regular checkups
Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
