Dental Crowns
In Plantantion

Dental crowns can help revive your smile if you are struggling with cracked or broken teeth. These tooth-shaped caps serve as a protective layer for the natural root of your tooth while enhancing your bite's functionality. If you have undergone a root canal or dental implant procedure, a crown can also improve the health of your tooth. With the option to choose from a range of materials, crowns are suitable for both restorative and cosmetic purposes, allowing you to smile with ease and confidence.

Why should I choose dental crowns?

Dental crowns are used for a variety of restorative and cosmetic treatments. For instance, they are the recommended treatment option for patients suffering from damaged, broken, or severely decayed teeth. After the damage and decay is cleared and the existing tooth structure is shaped into a sturdy platform, a dental crown can be placed. These tooth-shaped caps cover the natural tooth down to the gum line to protect the remaining tooth while maintaining the look, feel, and functionality of your smile. Crowns are also commonly used to complete root canal therapy or a dental implant procedure.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Natural Tooth Roots Are Retained

Crowns protect the natural tooth and root structure that remains after decay has been cleared away.

Matches Your Natural Smile

Lab-made dental crowns are designed to look and feel just like your natural teeth and blend in with your smile.

Durable & Longlasting

A properly made crown can last up to 15 years with good oral hygiene habits. Ask your dentist for ways to enhance the longevity of your new crown.

The Dental Crown Treatment Process

Preparing The Tooth

To start the procedure, your dentist will clean your mouth and apply local anesthesia for comfort. Based on your preference or your dentist's assessment, you may also receive sedation. Next, the decayed enamel will be removed with a dental drill. This process also involves reshaping your tooth to provide a sturdy base for the placement of a dental crown.

Imaging & Temporary Crown Placement

The process of creating your custom dental crown starts with obtaining impressions of your teeth. This can be done through the use of dental putty or a cutting-edge 3D scanner. To ensure a seamless integration with your natural smile, we'll also take some supplementary images of your teeth. Your impressions will then be forwarded to a dental laboratory for the fabrication of your crown using durable materials. During this time, your dentist will place a temporary crown to safeguard your recently shaped tooth until the completion of your permanent crown.

Final Fit & Finish

Once your permanent dental crown is complete, you'll be scheduled for a final fitting at our office. Our team will conduct a thorough examination to confirm the comfort and proper fit of your crown, making any necessary modifications. Once the fit is deemed satisfactory, your dentist will securely fasten the crown in place using a strong dental adhesive. This final fitting completes the dental crown process.
