What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a cap that covers your tooth down to the gum line. It can be used to protect a weakened tooth. Crowns can also repair damage, like a large area of decay or a fracture. The versatility of crowns allows them to be used with other procedures as well, like root canal therapy or a dental bridge. Ceramic materials allow crowns to offer cosmetic benefits too. A crown can be a great option to cover an abnormally shaped tooth or a stubborn stain.

The Dental Crown Process

Our office uses the most advanced technologies, allowing you to get the crown you need in one appointment. You won't require a temporary restoration either. After prepping your tooth for the crown, we will make a digital impression of your mouth. You don't have to worry about holding a messy impression material in your mouth. In a matter of a few seconds, the image will be sent to our CAD/CAM software for your dentist to create the specifics for your restoration. The information is sent to our in-office milling machine, where your crown will be cut from a single block of ceramic material. In about 1 hour, your crown will be ready for bonding. Your dentist will use dental cement to hold your crown in place. Your new restoration can last for 10 years or longer with the correct care, like brushing and flossing.

The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown

If your dentist recommends a dental crown, it's an investment in your oral health. Every tooth is essential for a healthy, functional smile. A crown can protect a compromised tooth from additional damage to prevent needing extraction down the road.

Ceramic materials are biocompatible, so there's no risk of metal sensitivities or allergic reactions. Although your crown will be metal-free, it will be durable to serve you for several years. It will be customized to match the color, size, and shape of your real teeth to blend in seamlessly.

If your restoration is medically necessary, your dental insurance may cover some of the costs. We offer various flexible financial solutions to keep dental crowns within everyone's budget.

Don't settle for less than the best if you need a crown. Choose state-of-the-art technology for unmatched accuracy. You'll save time while investing in a crown that will look and feel natural. Request an appointment through our website or call our office at (706) 808-4632.
