What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped restoration designed to cover and protect a weakened or damaged tooth. It is made to permanently encase your entire tooth, which restores function to your bite and protects it from further damage. Dental crowns are a versatile treatment that can be used on any kind of tooth, from your front teeth to your back molars, and their durability enables them to stand up to daily use.

We will customize your crown to look and feel as natural as possible. Our office uses a tooth-colored material that closely resembles the surrounding teeth and can seamlessly blend in with your smile. We also offer gold crowns by request. Regardless of what material you choose or what tooth needs a crown, we will carefully craft it to match the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth and improve the aesthetic appeal of your smile.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

When a tooth has been significantly impacted by decay or injury, it can cause sensitivity and discomfort that impacts your quality of life and the overall appearance of your smile. If your tooth enamel is significantly worn down, it can no longer protect the nerves inside, and the tooth is left exposed to potential infection. Dental crowns protect the tooth from further damage and decay while also providing these other benefits:

• Reduces pain and sensitivity
• Repairs broken and compromised teeth
• Strengthens and restores function
• Improves aesthetic appeal of discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth
• Offers durability that can last many years with proper care

Our Treatment Process

Our skilled team will be by your side throughout the process of receiving your dental crown, and we'll take the time to walk you through each step and answer any questions. While every patient is unique, and we create each treatment plan depending on your specific needs, here is the general process you might go through in our office:

1. Consultation: Our process begins with a comprehensive oral exam to determine if a crown is the right treatment for you. We will thoroughly inspect any problem teeth and the surrounding structures to evaluate the current state of your oral health. Detailed images, such as digital x-rays, will be taken to assess the tooth and determine the best course of treatment.
2. Preparation: If we determine that a dental crown is the best option for you, the next step is preparing the tooth for placement. Any decay or damage is removed and the tooth is shaped to create a solid, healthy foundation for the crown. If you require any other treatment, such as root canal therapy, we'll also perform the treatment at this time. Next, we take precise impressions of your teeth. While a trusted local dental lab creates your permanent crown, we will place a temporary crown over the prepared tooth to protect it.
3. Placement: Once the dental laboratory has sent us your completed permanent crown, we will schedule a follow-up appointment with you for placement. During this visit, we remove the temporary crown and prepare your tooth for the permanent crown. We will ensure the crown fits comfortably, feels natural, and aligns with your bite. Once we have made any necessary adjustments, our dentist will permanently cement the crown to your tooth.

After receiving your permanent crown, we will instruct you on caring for your new restoration to help it last as long as possible. It's important to continue routine dental checkups so that we can monitor your overall dental health and the integrity of the crown.

Implant-Supported Crowns

If your tooth is not viable due to too much damage or decay, we may need to extract the tooth and replace it with an implant-supported dental crown instead. This root-to-crown restoration is a permanent replacement for your tooth, preventing the potential bone loss and jaw weakening that comes with missing teeth. Visually, implant-supported crowns are identical to normal crowns, resulting in a natural-looking restoration to your smile.
