What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made “caps” that cover and protect damaged teeth. Crowns are designed to restore a tooth’s shape, size, strength and appearance. They are ideal for addressing:
- Severely decayed teeth
- Broken, chipped or worn-down teeth
- Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
- Large fillings that compromise tooth structure
- Cosmetic imperfections
The Dental Crown Process
- Preparation: The damaged tooth is carefully reshaped to ensure a secure fit for the crown.
- Impression: Impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom crown that matches your natural smile.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown protects your tooth while the permanent crown is being crafted.
- Placement: During your second visit, the custom crown is securely bonded in place and adjusted for comfort.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Protects and strengthens damaged teeth
- Restores full function for chewing and speaking
