At our practice, we understand the importance of a healthy, confident smile. Dental crowns play a crucial role in restoring both the function and appearance of damaged teeth. Whether your tooth has suffered from decay, cracks or has undergone a root canal, a crown can provide the protection and strength it needs.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic or metal, crowns are tailored to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth. This ensures a seamless, natural-looking result that blends perfectly with your smile.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Crowns offer several advantages that go beyond mere aesthetics. They:
- Protect weak or damaged teeth from further deterioration.
- Restore the shape, size and function of a tooth.
- Provide a long-lasting solution for dental issues.
- Improve overall oral health by maintaining proper bite alignment.
The Crown Placement Process
When you come to us for a dental crown, we ensure a smooth, comfortable experience. Initially, we perform a thorough examination to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs. Once we decide that a crown is the right choice, we prepare your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the crown.
Next, we take precise impressions of your tooth to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. While your permanent crown is being crafted in a dental lab, we may place a temporary crown over your tooth. Once your permanent crown is ready, we carefully place and adjust it for a perfect fit, ensuring your bite feels natural and comfortable.
Caring for Your Dental Crown
Maintaining your dental crown is straightforward and similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing, combined with routine dental check-ups, will help keep your crown in excellent condition. Avoiding habits such as grinding your teeth or chewing on hard objects can also prolong the lifespan of your crown.
