Revitalize Your Smile with Durable Dental Crowns
What Are Dental Crowns, and Why Are They Important?
Dental crowns, often referred to as “caps,” are custom-made restorations that cover and protect a tooth’s entire surface. These restorations are essential for:
- Protecting Weakened Teeth: Prevent further damage or decay in compromised teeth.
- Restoring Function: Allow you to chew and speak comfortably.
- Enhancing Appearance: Improve the size, shape, and color of your teeth for a natural look.
We use high-quality materials, including porcelain and ceramic, to create crowns that blend with your natural teeth.
Why Choose Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a versatile and durable solution for a variety of dental issues, including:
- Large cavities that can’t be repaired with a filling.
- Fractured or cracked teeth needing extra support.
- Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy.
- Replacement of missing teeth with dental implants.
- Cosmetic improvements for discolored or misshapen teeth.
With dental crowns, you can reclaim both your oral health and the beauty of your smile.
The Crown Placement Process: What to Expect
Getting a dental crown is a straightforward process that typically takes two visits:
- Initial Visit:
- We’ll carefully examine your tooth/teeth and take digital impressions.
- The tooth will be prepared, and a temporary crown will be placed to protect it.
- Second Visit:
- Once your custom crown is ready, it will be bonded securely to your tooth.
- Adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.
In some cases, we also offer same-day crowns using advanced technology, so you can leave our office with a fully restored tooth in just one visit.
