Dental crowns are a versatile and effective solution for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. They cover and protect the tooth, providing strength and durability while improving its appearance. Whether you need a crown due to decay, fractures, or a cosmetic concern, it offers a natural look and feel that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
The process of getting a dental crown typically involves two visits. During the first visit, we prepare the damaged tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it to ensure a secure fit for the crown. A temporary crown will be placed while a custom crown is crafted in a dental lab. In the second visit, we remove the temporary crown and permanently bond the custom-made crown to the tooth.
Dental crowns come in a variety of materials, each offering unique benefits based on your needs. Porcelain crowns are ideal for restoring front teeth due to their natural, tooth-like appearance. Ceramic crowns are highly durable and provide a seamless look. Metal crowns, such as gold or alloys, are more resistant to wear and are often used for back teeth where aesthetics are less of a concern.
