What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown, also called a cap, can return structure, strength, and function to a tooth with extensive decay or damage. Designed to fit snugly and function as a healthy tooth, a crown will protect your tooth from further damage and preserve the jaw's correct natural alignment. It’s also worth mentioning that the final results will be as functional as they are lifelike thanks to the high-quality materials we use, including zirconia, porcelain, and porcelain-fused-to-metal.

The Dental Crown Process

Typically, we can design, fit, and place your crowns in just a couple of short appointments. After we’ve determined that a dental crown is the best treatment for you, we will address any decay or damage before “prepping” your tooth. This involves removing a portion of the enamel so that the dental crown fits well and blends in with your surrounding teeth.

Next, we will take impressions of your tooth, secure a temporary crown in place, and schedule your final appointment. At this time, we will replace the temporary crown with your final one. Once this step is complete, you can care for it as you do your natural teeth. Conscientious brushing twice a day and daily flossing will protect the base of your crown from bacterial growth. Be sure to see us at least two times each year for professional teeth cleanings and a preventive dental exam, too.

The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown

There are several benefits of dental crowns, starting with the fact that we use only the best materials to make them. Of course, there are other noteworthy perks you should consider, including:

• Our precise color-matching system allows us to find the right shade of porcelain to blend with your natural tooth color.
• Porcelain crowns are also extremely durable, restoring the strength of your bite.
• The results can last for well over a decade with proper care.
