Dental Crowns
We understand that every smile is unique and deserves personalized care. Our dental crowns service is designed to restore the appearance and functionality of your teeth, ensuring a natural look and a comfortable fit. Whether you have a damaged tooth or need a replacement for a previous crown, we are here to provide you with the highest quality care.
Dental crowns, also known as “caps,” are custom-fitted coverings that are placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to cover a damaged or decayed tooth, improving its appearance and alignment in the mouth. They can be made from various materials, including ceramic, porcelain, resin, or stainless steel, depending on the location and the aesthetic or functional needs of the patient.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Restoration of Damaged Teeth: Crowns restore the functionality and appearance of worn down, cracked, weakened, or decayed teeth.
- Enhanced Appearance: They can be used to cover severely discolored or misshapen teeth, providing a more aesthetic appearance.
- Protection: Crowns provide a strong, protective cover, helping prevent further damage to a tooth that has undergone significant decay or has had a root canal treatment.
- Durability: With proper care, dental crowns can last up to 15 years or longer, depending on the material used and your oral hygiene practices.
- Customized Fit: Each crown is custom-made to fit the shape and color of your existing teeth, providing a natural, comfortable fit.
The Process of Getting Dental Crowns
Consultation and Preparation: The first step involves a consultation with our dentist, who will assess the health of your tooth and prepare it for the crown. This usually involves reshaping the tooth and taking an impression to ensure the crown will fit perfectly. A temporary crown may be placed while your permanent crown is being made.
Creating the Crown: Your custom crown will be crafted in a dental lab from the mold of your tooth. We match the crown to the color of your natural teeth to ensure it blends seamlessly with your smile.
Fitting the Crown: Once your crown is ready, you’ll return to our office for the final fitting. The temporary crown is removed, and the new crown is adjusted as needed to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite. The crown is then cemented into place, completing your smile restoration.
