Restore Your Smile with Dental Crowns
Damaged or worn teeth can make it difficult to chew, speak, or smile confidently. Dental crowns offer an effective way to restore your tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance. At our dental office, we provide custom-made crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a comfortable and confident smile.
A dental crown is a durable, tooth-shaped cap that covers the visible part of your tooth. It helps protect weakened teeth, repair fractures, and enhance aesthetics. Designed to match your natural tooth color, crowns provide both strength and a natural look that lasts.
Why You Might Need A Crown
Your dentist may recommend a crown if you have:
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Large fillings that require additional support
- Worn or weakened teeth
- Misshapen or severely discolored teeth
- Teeth treated with a root canal
- Covering and restoring a dental implant
Steps To Getting A Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown is a straightforward procedure that typically takes two appointments. Here’s what to expect:
Exam and Preparation
Your dentist will first examine the tooth to confirm that a crown is the right solution. X-rays may be taken if necessary. Then, the tooth is carefully reshaped to create space for the crown.
Impressions
Next, an impression of your tooth is taken to design a perfectly fitting crown. This is sent to a dental lab for custom fabrication, while a temporary crown protects your tooth during the process.
Crown Placement
When your permanent crown is ready (typically within 1–2 weeks), you’ll return for your second visit. The dentist will remove the temporary crown, ensure the new one fits and matches perfectly, and securely bond it in place with dental cement.
Final Touches
The dentist will make final adjustments to ensure your bite feels natural and comfortable. Once that’s done, your new crown is complete—restoring both your tooth’s function and your confident smile!
