Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as teeth caps, are custom-made restorations that completely encase a damaged or weakened tooth. They are designed to restore the tooth’s shape, strength and functionality. Crowns provide protection to compromised teeth, preventing further damage and helping preserve the tooth’s structure. With a dental crown, you can regain the ability to chew and speak comfortably while also enhancing the appearance of your smile.

Dental crowns are versatile restorations recommended in various situations, such as severe tooth decay, fractures, large fillings or after root canal therapy. Crowns are used when a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a filling but still salvageable enough to avoid extraction. We will evaluate your specific case to determine if a crown is the most appropriate solution based on the extent of damage, the location of the tooth and your personal preferences.

Dental crowns can be made from different materials, including porcelain, metal and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM). Porcelain crowns are popular for their natural appearance and are often used for front teeth, while metal crowns offer durability and are commonly used for molars. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns combine the aesthetics of porcelain with the strength of metal. We will discuss your needs and help you select the most suitable material based on durability, aesthetics and functional requirements.

The process of getting a dental crown typically involves several steps. First, the tooth is prepared by removing any damaged or decayed tissue and shaping it to fit the crown. Impressions of your tooth are then taken to create a custom-fitted crown. With our on-site dental lab, we can expedite the crafting process, ensuring faster recovery times. Once the crown is ready, it is carefully fitted and bonded to the tooth, providing a natural-looking and long-lasting restoration.
