Our experienced dental team ensures that each crown is perfectly matched and fitted, guaranteeing comfort and a seamless blend with your natural teeth.
Understanding Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength and appearance. Crowns are recommended for a variety of situations, including protecting a weak tooth from breaking, restoring a broken tooth, covering a dental implant or enhancing the cosmetic appearance of a tooth. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal or composite resin, each offering benefits in terms of durability, aesthetics and cost.
The Dental Crown Process
The procedure for getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to our office. The first visit includes preparing the affected tooth, which may involve reshaping it to ensure a proper fit for the crown. An impression of the tooth is then taken to create a custom crown, matched to the color of your natural teeth for a uniform appearance. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being fabricated. During the second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is adjusted, if necessary, and then cemented into place.
