What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a type of restoration that is used to cover a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth, providing it with strength and protection. They are custom-made to fit your unique smile and can be made from a variety of materials, including metals, ceramic, or a combination of both. By restoring the shape, size, and strength of your teeth, dental crowns can significantly enhance your general dental health and self-confidence. So, if you’re looking to improve your smile, consider asking our dentists about dental crowns.

Reasons Why You Might Need a Dental Crown
Dental crowns are versatile and can save teeth that have been severely damaged by decay, chipping, or injury. They can also help restore discolored teeth or support teeth with large fillings. If you’re someone who grinds their teeth or chews gum frequently, a dental crown can provide added protection against wear and tear. Our dentists can help you determine if a dental crown is necessary and guide you through the process so you can have a healthy, happy smile.
How Dental Crowns Are Placed
Dental crown placement is a fascinating process that can transform a moderately to severely damaged tooth into a work of art.
- First, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it into the perfect form.
- Then, a mold will be taken of the tooth so that the crown can be custom-made to fit perfectly. While waiting for the crown to be created, the dentist will place a temporary crown to protect the tooth.
- Finally, the permanent crown is placed, checked for fit and bite, and secured in place. Voilà! With your new crown in place, you'll have a beautiful and functional tooth that will last for years.
Protect Your Smile
When it comes to protecting damaged teeth, dental crowns are an excellent option. Not only do they make the tooth look and function like new, but they also provide longer-term protection from further decay or damage. However, as with any medical procedure, it’s important to discuss your options with your dentist so you can make an informed decision that makes sense for you and your mouth. With this extra level of protection, you can rest assured knowing that you’re taking steps to maintain your oral health and keep your smile looking bright for years to come!
