What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are protective caps that are cemented over an injured tooth to protect it from additional harm while allowing you to continue using it to eat and speak normally. Our team makes them from resilient, tooth-colored ceramic, like EMAX or zirconia, that can be customized to match the size, shape, and color of your natural enamel.
These restorations are a versatile solution that can be used in several ways, including to:
- Protect a tooth that underwent a root canal.
- Anchor a dental bridge in place.
- Cap a dental implant to close the gap in your grin.
- Cover a damaged tooth to prevent additional harm.
- Improve the aesthetics of damaged, stunted, or worn-down teeth.
The Dental Crown Process
Before proceeding with a dental crown, you must consult one of our dentists to ensure you’re a good candidate. After our team has assessed your condition and confirmed that this is the best solution to meet your needs, we can begin by preparing your tooth.
This involves numbing the area with a local anesthetic to help you feel comfortable, though we also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation for those who are overly sensitive or anxious. Then, we’ll remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth so the cap will fit correctly over it.
Next, we’ll make digital impressions of your mouth, which will be shared with a dental laboratory that uses the information to design your custom-fitted prosthetic. This can take a couple of weeks, so we may suggest placing a temporary cover to safeguard your smile until it arrives.
Finally, once the finished product has been delivered, our team will schedule another appointment with you to ensure that it fits and functions correctly. If everything checks out, we’ll cement it in place, then send you home with your beautifully restored tooth!
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
There are several excellent reasons to consider repairing your grin with one of these lifelike caps, such as:
- Restore your chewing power. You’ll be able to bite into and grind food more easily once your injured tooth is covered.
- Boost your confidence. The customizable materials can be made to match your teeth for seamless results that improve your appearance and self-esteem.
- Easy maintenance. You can help preserve your crown by brushing and flossing twice daily, avoiding overly hard, dark, or sticky foods, and visiting us every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning.
- Prevent additional damage. The durable materials resist chips, cracks, and stains to help avoid potential problems in the future.
- Long-lasting results. These teeth aren’t intended to be removed after they’re cemented in place, and often last 15+ years, making them an excellent long-term solution.
