Dental Crowns

Understanding Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a versatile and effective solution for restoring damaged or weakened teeth, bringing back their strength, appearance, and functionality. Often called a "cap," a crown fits over the existing tooth, protecting it from further damage and restoring its original shape and size. Whether due to decay, cracks, or after a root canal, dental crowns help preserve your natural tooth while enhancing your smile’s look and durability.

Why You Might Need a Dental Crown

Crowns are essential when a tooth is compromised beyond what a simple filling can restore. A crown can:

• Stabilize a cracked or broken tooth

• Protect a weakened tooth from additional damage

• Cover a large filling to prevent further issues

• Complete dental implants as the visible portion of a replacement tooth

Crowns provide a reliable way to strengthen and protect teeth, allowing you to chew comfortably and smile confidently.

What to Expect During the Crown Placement Process

The crown placement process typically involves two appointments:

1. First Appointment: The affected tooth is carefully shaped to create a stable foundation, and an impression is taken to craft a custom crown that fits precisely. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while the permanent one is being made.

2. Second Appointment: Your custom crown is securely bonded to the tooth, ensuring a seamless fit and a natural look. With proper care, crowns offer long-term protection and an aesthetically pleasing restoration.
