Dental Crowns
A damaged or weakened tooth doesn’t always need to be removed. With a custom dental crown, we can restore its strength, function, and appearance – helping you smile, chew, and speak with confidence again.
what is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom made “cap” that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Crowns are designed to look natural, while protecting the underlying tooth from further damage. Crowns may be recommended if you have:
- A large cavity that cannot be repaired with a filling
- A cracked or fractured tooth
- A tooth that has had root canal treatment
- A severely discolored or misshapen tooth
- A dental implant that needs restoration
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. 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 will have a new looking tooth.
