Crowns

What are crowns?

Used when damage to one’s teeth is severe and seems beyond repair.

Consists of two visits.
During the first visit, the tooth’s is prepared to accept a crown and am impression is taken of this tooth. A temporary crown is made also to allow function and eliminate pain in between visits.
The impression is sent to a dental laboratory to fabricate the porcelain crown. Other materials such as gold may also be used if desired or needed.
At the second visit, the temporary crown is removed, the tooth is cleaned, and the crown is bonded to the tooth to restore the form and full function of the tooth.

One of the most durable dental restorations for a tooth.
Maintains a natural looking smile and teeth.
Re-establishes full function for that tooth.
Helps prevent the cracking and breaking of teeth, especially molars with root-canal treatments.
When done on multiple teeth, crowns allow the complete rehabilitation of severely deteriorated detention.
Crowns are durable laboratory fabricated tooth restorations which restore the form, function and esthetics of broken down tooth.
They are needed when the breakdown of a tooth is advanced enough that it can no longer be repaired with fillings.
