TREATMENTS

Dental Crowns

Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth. Crowns are an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems.

How long does it take to fit a dental crown?

Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of either plastic or metal.

On the subsequent visit we will remove the temporary crown, and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful looking tooth.

What are the capabilities of crowns?

Crown and bridgework is a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused through accidents, disease, or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either porcelain or porcelain bonded to metal. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or bridges can be used as a long-term solution.

Many people have unexplained pain from old fillings, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause cosmetic problems due to staining or chipping. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.
