Dental crowns are commonly used to protect weak teeth from breakage or to hold together the parts of cracked teeth. They can effectively restore broken teeth or ones with large fillings and not much tooth structure left. Crowns can also repair teeth worn down due to grinding, a condition known as bruxism.

Dental crowns are usually required to strengthen teeth that have undergone root canal therapy to prevent them from fracturing. They also work to restore missing teeth by covering dental implants, along with being used as anchors for dental bridges or dentures. Crowns play a significant role in cosmetic dentistry, allowing us to improve the appearance of misshaped, stained, or discolored teeth.

During your initial appointment, we will prepare your tooth by removing a layer of enamel to make room for your new dental crown. We will make an impression of your teeth, which will be used by our dental laboratory to produce your dental crown. Your restoration will be carefully matched to the surrounding teeth, leaving you with natural-looking results. Before leaving our office, we will place a temporary crown to protect your prepared tooth while waiting for your dental crown to be ready.

During an upcoming visit, we will remove your temporary crown and cement your permanent restoration in its place. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. Your restored tooth will look, feel, and function just like a natural one.
