What we offer
Secure and Durable Crowns
Get professional dental crowns that feel secure in your mouth. It’s fairly common for people to experience stains, unevenness, weakening, or decay of their crowns. When this happens, artificial crowns can be used to restore or strengthen them, returning your smile to something you can be proud of. Our dentists with over 40 years of experience prioritize strength and durability when fitting you for your crowns that will last.
What Are Crowns?
Your teeth are composed of two main parts: the crown and root. The crown is the part visible above the gum line. The root is the part below the gum line, holding your tooth firmly in your jawbone. Dental crowns act like a permanent cap for your tooth, covering it entirely to restore teeth security and strength.
Are Crowns Right for You?
Crowns may be right for you if you have cosmetic issues like stains and decay, or if you need to repair chipped or broken teeth and protect weak ones from breaking. If you need a bridge, a crown can be used to attach it. With proper care and regular visits to our office, your crown can last about 10 years.
What’s the Purpose of a Dental Crown?
A dental crown has many purposes, but a few common ones are:
Crown Options
Types of Crowns We Offer
There are five main types of crowns: Ceramic, gold alloy, porcelain fused-to-metal crowns, base metal alloy crowns, and CEREC crowns. A dentist can make recommendations based on your unique needs and preferences.
Same-Day Crowns
Same-day Glidewell BruxZir Zirconia dental crowns offer a quick and convenient restoration process, eliminating the need for multiple visits and temporary crowns. This technology ensures a precise fit and natural appearance in just one appointment, reducing discomfort and the risk of complications, significantly enhancing the patient experience.
Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns are best for blending with the other teeth, generally making them the most aesthetically pleasing. They are also great for patients who have metal allergies and cannot tolerate metal-based crowns.
Gold Alloy Crowns
Gold alloys are strong crown options. However, the gold alloy does not look as natural as a ceramic crown would for patients who are more concerned with aesthetics.
Porcelain Fused-To-Metal Crowns
Porcelain-fused-to-metal tends to blend better with the teeth than gold, but many people prefer the way gold alloys look in comparison. Porcelain crowns are commonly used for teeth in the front.
Base Metal Alloy Crowns
Base metal alloys are strong, resistant to corrosion, and require less of the tooth to be ground down in preparation. However, metals may wear away the enamel on healthy teeth opposite the crowns.
Sustainable Results
Dental Crowns Designed To Fill the Gaps
The tooth-shaped cap of dental crowns fits snugly inside the mouth and can fill the missing pieces or gaps in your smile from damaged teeth. Smile confidently with comfortable and secure teeth and gums.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
There are numerous benefits to getting dental crowns, including:
How Crowns Are Placed
Getting crowns can take more than one visit. Here are the steps involved in finding the right crowns for you.
Step 1:
Dental Examination
Crowns are generally placed over two dental visits. During the first visit, the dentist will examine the tooth to make sure it will hold a crown.
Step 2:
Prepare the Tooth
Then, it’s time to prepare the tooth, which may consist of filing it down or filling it.
Step 3:
Digital Impressions
Once the tooth is the proper shape and size, digital impressions are taken of it and the surrounding teeth so that the crown can be made to fit like a glove.
Step 4:
Permanent Crown Set in Place
During the same visit, the temporary crown is removed and the permanent crown is fixed to the tooth with adhesive. After this step, crowns usually won’t require any more dentistry to function like natural teeth.
Step 5:
Routine Dental Visits
Crowns can last a lifetime if you properly care for them with a routine of brushing, flossing, and dental visits.
