A dental crown is a versatile restoration solution for teeth that have suffered significant damage or decay. It acts like a cap, covering the entire visible portion of a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength and appearance. Each crown is meticulously crafted to fit seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics are maintained.
Crowns can be made from various materials, including gold, porcelain and porcelain fused to metal. Porcelain crowns are particularly popular because they can be closely matched to the color of your natural teeth, providing a more natural look. Our skilled dentists will guide you through the selection process, helping you choose the material that best suits your needs and preferences.
You might need a dental crown for several reasons. One common reason is to restore a tooth that is too damaged for a filling. Crowns are also used to complete dental implants, ensuring the implant looks and functions like a natural tooth. Additionally, they play a crucial role in holding dental bridges in place, correcting misshapen teeth and strengthening teeth that are fractured or weakened. If you have a large filling that compromises the structure of your tooth, a crown can provide the necessary support. Beyond functionality, dental crowns also enhance the overall appearance of your smile. They can improve the look of misshapen or discolored teeth, boosting your confidence.
The process for receiving a dental crown typically involves two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, and an impression is taken to create your custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth until your permanent crown is ready. At the second visit, the permanent crown is securely fitted and adjusted for comfort and bite.
