What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over a damaged or decayed tooth. They are essential to restorative dentistry and provide functional and aesthetic benefits. Crowns help preserve the integrity of your natural tooth by protecting it from further damage and restoring its shape, size, and strength. Our skilled professionals meticulously customize crowns to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, giving you a natural-looking smile.
Why Choose Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are versatile and can address a variety of dental concerns. They are commonly used to:
- Protect a Weak Tooth: Crowns can shield a tooth weakened by decay or cracks, preventing it from breaking.
- Restore a Broken or Worn-Down Tooth: A crown can restore a tooth’s functionality and appearance if it is broken or severely worn down.
- Support a Tooth with a Large Filling: When a tooth has too large a filling encompassing more than half of the tooth’s structure, crowns provide much-needed reinforcement.
- Secure a Dental Bridge: Crowns can anchor a dental bridge, supporting a gap left by missing teeth.
- Cover a Dental Implant: They can also act as the visible part of a dental implant, filling the space left by extracted or missing teeth.
In addition to restoring functionality, dental crowns significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of your teeth, boosting your confidence and overall well-being.
Our Process for Creating and Placing Crowns
At New Heights Dental & Braces, our process for creating and placing crowns includes several key steps to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients:
- Comprehensive Examination and Consultation: Our dental team thoroughly examines your oral health and determines if a crown is necessary. We’ll discuss the options and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs.
- Tooth Preparation: If a crown is deemed appropriate, the affected tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown. Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is comfortable, and any decay or damage is addressed before taking any further steps.
- Impression Taking: We then take precise impressions of your teeth, which are used to fabricate a crown that fits perfectly with your natural bite and aesthetics.
- Fabrication of the Crown: While your permanent crown is being created, we can provide a temporary crown to protect the tooth. Our high-end lab partners use your impressions to craft a custom crown using durable, tooth-colored materials.
- Fitting and Cementation: Once your permanent crown is ready, we ensure a proper fit and make any necessary adjustments. The crown is then firmly cemented in place, restoring your tooth to its full function and appearance.
- Follow-Up Care: We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to ensure your new crown is comfortable and functioning as expected.
