Strength, Beauty, and Comfort in Every Smile
Coral Gables Porcelain Crowns
There’s something special about a smile that feels strong, natural, and whole again. At Elite Smile Dental Center in Coral Gables, we believe that dental restoration should never feel clinical—it should feel personal, caring, and beautifully crafted. When a tooth becomes weakened, cracked, or damaged, a porcelain crown can restore not only its structure but also your confidence.
Under the compassionate care of Dr. Yelisbet Fernandez—or as her patients lovingly call her, Dr. Yeli—each crown is designed with artistry and precision to look and feel just like a natural tooth. Her gentle touch and commitment to patient comfort have made our office a trusted home for families throughout Coral Gables and nearby communities.
Inside BLUME Coral Gables at 1501 SW 37 Avenue, Suite B, Miami, FL 33145, you’ll find an atmosphere that feels more like a friend’s home than a dental clinic. Every appointment is guided by connection, conversation, and genuine care. Here, dentistry is not rushed—it’s refined, honest, and always centered around you.
Benefits of Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are one of the most versatile and rewarding treatments in modern dentistry. They offer:
- Durability and longevity: Porcelain crowns can last for many years with proper care.
- Aesthetic perfection: Each crown is custom-colored to match surrounding teeth for a seamless smile.
- Protection: They shield vulnerable teeth from further damage or fracture.
- Comfort: Once placed, crowns feel and function just like natural teeth.
For patients in Coral Gables, it’s not just about restoring a tooth—it’s about restoring confidence, ease, and the ability to smile without hesitation.
A porcelain crown (sometimes called a dental cap) is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged tooth. It restores its shape, strength, and function while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. Crowns are often used for teeth that are cracked, worn, discolored, or have undergone root canal therapy.
At Elite Smile Dental Center, we use high-quality porcelain that mimics the translucency of natural enamel. Each crown is crafted to match your tooth shade and contour precisely, creating a flawless finish that enhances your entire smile.
Our Personalized Approach to Dentistry
What makes Elite Smile Dental Center unique is the heart behind our care. Dr. Yeli treats every patient as part of her extended family. She takes time to explain treatments, answer questions, and ease any anxiety. Whether you’re receiving a simple filling or a full-mouth restoration, you’ll always feel respected, understood, and never rushed.
In a world where dental care can sometimes feel impersonal, we bring humanity back to the experience. Dr. Fernandez combines precision and warmth, creating a safe space where patients can smile freely—because they know they’re in trusted hands.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are both durable and beautiful, offering a perfect balance between function and aesthetics. Unlike metal crowns, porcelain reflects light like real enamel, giving your smile a lifelike appearance.
Patients choose porcelain crowns because they:
- Restore teeth weakened by decay, cracks, or large fillings.
- Protect teeth after root canal therapy.
- Improve the color, shape, and symmetry of the smile.
- Provide lasting comfort and strength.
But for Dr. Yeli, crowns represent more than restoration—they’re about renewal. She understands that behind every chipped or broken tooth, there’s a person who just wants to feel like themselves again. Her approach is thoughtful, warm, and emotionally attentive. Every step is guided by the goal of helping you smile with confidence and peace of mind.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your porcelain crown treatment begins with a personal consultation where Dr. Fernandez listens to your concerns and evaluates your tooth carefully. After taking digital X-rays or scans, she’ll gently prepare the tooth by removing any damaged areas while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
Next, a precise digital impression is taken to create your custom crown. While your final crown is being crafted by our trusted dental lab, you’ll wear a temporary one to protect your tooth. When your permanent crown is ready, Dr. Yeli will carefully place and bond it, making detailed adjustments to ensure a perfect fit, comfortable bite, and natural look.
The process is smooth, comfortable, and designed to be as stress-free as possible. Patients often remark that what could have been a nerve-racking experience feels more like a calm, reassuring conversation with someone who genuinely cares.
