Dental crowns, also known as caps, are versatile restorations designed to restore the function and appearance of damaged teeth.
When are Crowns Recommended?
We recommend crowns for those who want to:
- Protect a Weak Tooth: After a root canal treatment or when a tooth is fractured, a crown provides stability and prevents further damage.
- Restore a Broken or Worn Tooth: Crowns can rebuild teeth worn down by grinding or restore a tooth with a large cavity.
- Support Dental Bridges: Crowns anchor dental bridges securely in place by covering adjacent teeth.
- Cover Discolored or Misshapen Teeth: For aesthetic purposes, crowns can improve the appearance of teeth with severe discoloration or irregular shape.
What to Expect
Our dentist will start by preparing the tooth and taking impressions. The crown is custom-made and adjusted to your gumline to ensure a precise fit and natural appearance.
Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are crucial for the longevity of your crown. With proper care, a well-fitted crown can last many years, preserving both your smile and dental health.
