Keep reading to learn more about how this is done and whether or not dental crowns are right for you.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, also called caps, are custom-made restorations that are designed to strengthen and preserve a damaged, broken, or decayed tooth. They get their name because they literally crown the entire visible portion of your teeth to rebuild them back to their full health and beauty. We can personalize your dental crowns to match the exact size, shape, and shade of your natural smile for seamless restorations.
Candidates for Dental Crowns
The best way to know if dental crowns are right for you is to come into our office for a consultation. One of our experienced dentists will carefully examine your smile before recommending the proper treatment. However, candidates for dental crowns will typically have:
- Largely decayed teeth
- Damaged teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Root canals
- Missing teeth replaced with dental implants
If any of these conditions sound familiar, call our office to set up your appointment. We will check your smile before proceeding with necessary treatment.
The Dental Crowns Procedure
The procedure for dental crowns will typically take 2 appointments. During the first, we will prepare your smile by removing a slight portion of your enamel in some cases to accommodate the crown. Then, we’ll take special images and impressions of the affected area before sending them off to an advanced lab for your customized restoration. During this time, you’ll be given a temporary crown if it’s in the visible part of your smile.
Once it’s made, you’ll come back into our office. We will ensure that you’re happy with your results before permanently placing your restoration for a strong and beautiful smile. All you have to do next is walk out of our office with your complete and full set of teeth.
