At Lifeworks Dental, our skilled dentists offer dental crowns for patients with severely damaged, stained, broken, or irregularly shaped teeth. Our custom-made crowns are designed to fit your smile perfectly, providing protection and restoration for your teeth. We invite you to schedule an appointment to learn more about the benefits of dental crowns and how they can enhance your oral health and appearance.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are custom-made to match the color and contour of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result. They are commonly used to:
- Protect a weakened tooth from breaking
- Restore a broken or severely worn tooth
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling
- Hold a dental bridge in place
- Cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth
- Cover a dental implant
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Restores Functionality: Crowns restore the functionality of damaged teeth, allowing you to chew and speak properly.
- Enhances Appearance: Custom-made crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, improving the overall aesthetics of your smile.
- Provides Protection: Crowns protect weakened or damaged teeth from further decay, breakage, or wear.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, providing a durable and reliable solution for tooth restoration.
The Dental Crown Process
- Consultation: During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your tooth and discuss your treatment options. If a crown is recommended, we will create a personalized treatment plan.
- Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth will be reshaped to accommodate the crown. This involves removing a portion of the tooth to make room for the crown.
- Impressions: Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where your crown will be fabricated.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown will be placed to protect your prepared tooth while your permanent crown is being made.
- Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, it will be placed and adjusted for a perfect fit. The crown will then be permanently cemented in place.
