Transform and protect your teeth with top-quality dental crowns from Art of Smiles Dental Group. Our custom-crafted crowns restore the strength, function, and beauty of damaged or decayed teeth, helping you maintain a healthy, radiant smile.
Understanding Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are restorative coverings designed to fit over your existing teeth. They serve to:
- Strengthen and Protect: Reinforce teeth that are weakened by decay, cracks, or large fillings.
- Restore Functionality: Enable normal chewing and speaking by restoring the tooth’s original shape and size.
- Enhance Appearance: Improve the look of misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
- Support Dental Work: Anchor dental bridges or cap dental implants for a complete tooth replacement solution.
When Are Dental Crowns Necessary?
Dental crowns are versatile solutions for a range of dental issues, including:
- Severe Tooth Decay: Crowns cover and protect teeth with extensive decay or large fillings that can’t support regular fillings.
- Cracked or Fractured Teeth: They provide a durable cover for teeth that are cracked or broken, preventing further damage.
- Post-Root Canal: After a root canal, crowns strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
- Worn or Eroded Teeth: Crowns can restore the structure and function of teeth worn down by grinding or erosion.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, misshapen, or uneven.
The Dental Crown Process at Art of Smiles Dental Group
We ensure that getting a dental crown is a smooth and comfortable experience. Here’s what to expect:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Your journey starts with a detailed examination and X-rays to assess the condition of your tooth and determine the best course of action.
- Tooth Preparation: We reshape your tooth to make room for the crown. This involves removing a small portion of the tooth’s surface to ensure a perfect fit.
- Impressions and Temporary Crown: Impressions of your prepared tooth are taken to create a custom-fit crown. In the meantime, we place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
- Custom Crown Creation: Your impressions are sent to a dental lab, where skilled technicians craft your crown from high-quality materials.
- Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, we remove the temporary one and secure the new crown in place. We make sure it fits perfectly and matches your bite.
- Final Adjustments and Care Instructions: After fitting the crown, we make any necessary adjustments and provide guidance on how to care for your new crown.
