DENTAL CROWNS

---

Benefits of Dental Crowns:

Restoration: Dental crowns are used to repair and strengthen teeth that are decayed, damaged, cracked or weakened.

Aesthetics: Crowns can significantly enhance the appearance of your smile by covering discolored, misshapen, or unsightly teeth.

Functionality: They improve your ability to bite, chew, and speak by restoring the natural form and function of your teeth.

Types of Dental Crowns:

Porcelain/all ceramic, metal and porcelain fused to metal are the main types of dental crowns.  At our office, we utilize primarily porcelain or all ceramic crowns due to their strength and aesthetic properties.  With modern advances in milling technology and engineering, porcelain crowns have met the parameters necessary for conservative tooth preparation, incredible durability and natural beauty.

The Dental Crown Procedure:

Consultation: Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss the best treatment plan.

Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown.

Impression: An impression of your prepared tooth is taken to create a custom crown.

Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being crafted, a temporary crown is placed.

Crown Placement: The permanent crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth.

Final Adjustments: Your dentist ensures the crown fits comfortably and your bite is aligned.

Aftercare for Dental Crowns:

Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.

Attend regular dental check-ups to monitor the condition of your tooth.

Dental crowns offer a reliable solution for restoring and beautifying your smile.
