Treatment Options for Dental Crowns

Dental crowns at Smart Dental Care are crafted to match the color and texture of natural teeth. They give a natural-looking and long-lasting solution that is durable and strong.

If our dentist recommends a crown, you can rest easy knowing that any crown you receive through our office will be designed to fit you specifically with maximum comfort and minimal inconvenience. Our crowns offer several benefits that you won’t find in every dentist’s office.

Same-Day Crowns

We know that for many people one of the biggest obstacles to dental work is the demand it can put on their schedule. With our CEREC machines, we offer same-day crowns so that you can receive your crowns in a single visit to our office, rather than struggling to fit multiple visits into your busy schedule!

Other crown methods often require temporary crowns while the permanent fixture is crafted in an off-site lab, but our method does not. We eliminate this step to make the process that much shorter and simpler for you.

CEREC

We use CEREC crowns, which are created right here in our office and are made of durable, long-lasting ceramic. This ceramic is tooth-colored and blends naturally with your other teeth. No one will be able to tell that you have a crown even as you experience its benefits!

Many people have found that the CEREC process can be more comfortable than traditional crowns, which is just one more reason why a CEREC crown might be a great fit for you.

How the Dental Crown Process Works

Our dental crown process is efficient and straightforward. Our goal is to get you in and out of the chair in the shortest amount of time possible without compromising on quality. Here’s a detailed overview of what your experience will look like:

  1. Initial consultation. The process typically begins with a consultation with our dentist. During this appointment, we will examine your teeth and discuss your dental concerns to determine if a dental crown is the appropriate treatment option.
  2. Tooth preparation. If it’s decided that a dental crown is necessary, the next step is tooth preparation. Our dentist will numb the tooth and surrounding area with local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience. Then they’ll reshape the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crown.
  3. Impressions. After tooth preparations, our dentist will take impressions of your teeth. These impressions will serve as a blueprint for creating a custom-fitted dental crown that matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
  4. Crown fabrication. We will use your dental impressions to make a custom crown on our CEREC machine. This can be done on the same-day in-office, saving you an extra appointment.
  5. Crown placement. Once your permanent crown is ready, our dentist will thoroughly clean the prepared tooth and check the fit and appearance of the new crown. Then, they’ll cement it into place.
  6. Final adjustments. After your crown is placed, our dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure the crown fits comfortably and functions properly. They’ll also check your bite to ensure that it aligns correctly with your other teeth.

After you’ve gotten your crown, you’ll need to make sure to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly and getting semi-annual dental check-ups. This will ensure your crown lasts as long as possible.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are versatile restorative solutions that can address a wide range of dental issues. The question is, would a dental crown be right for you? Some factors that indicate you may benefit from dental crowns include:

  • Significant tooth damage. If you have a tooth with extensive decay, damage from impact, or large fillings, dental crowns can provide the necessary structural support and protection to keep your tooth healthy. Crowns cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its strength and integrity.
  • Fractured or cracked teeth. Teeth that are cracked or fractured due to injury or grinding may require dental crowns to prevent further damage and preserve the tooth’s functionality. Crowns hold the tooth together, preventing the crack from worsening and allowing you to bite and chew comfortably.
  • Weak or worn down teeth. Teeth that have become weakened or worn down over time, often due to bruxism (teeth grinding), erosion, or aging, can benefit from dental crowns. Crowns provide reinforcement, restoring the tooth’s shape, size, and function.
  • A desire for cosmetic enhancements. Dental crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of teeth with aesthetic concerns such as discoloration, misalignment, or irregular shape. Crowns can be customized to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and attractive smile.
  • Root canal treatment. Following root canal therapy, a tooth may become weak and susceptible to fracture. Placing a dental crown over the treated tooth adds strength and protection, reducing the risk of infection and preserving the tooth’s longevity.
  • The need to replace large fillings. If you have large fillings that have worn out or become damaged, dental crowns can provide a more durable and long-lasting solution. Crowns cover the entire tooth surface, providing better protection and stability than fillings alone.
  • Dental implants. Dental crowns are commonly used to restore single dental implants, replacing missing teeth with natural-looking and functional replacements. Crowns are attached to the implant abutment, restoring your smile’s appearance and function.

Overall, individuals with damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised teeth are excellent candidates for dental crowns.
