What are Dental Crowns?

Starting at $650/tooth

Dental crowns are custom-made caps designed to cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. They restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Smiles Restored, we take pride in offering high-quality dental crowns that promise both functionality and aesthetics.

Why Might You Need a Dental Crown?

  • To protect a weak tooth: Crowns can prevent further damage to a tooth that is cracked or weakened by decay.
  • To restore a broken tooth: If you have a tooth that is severely worn down or broken, a crown can restore its original structure.
  • To support a tooth with a large filling: When there isn't much tooth left, a crown can help hold the filling in place.
  • For cosmetic reasons: If you have a misshapen or discolored tooth, a crown can cover it to improve your smile.
  • To protect a dental implant: Crowns are often used to cover dental implants and provide a natural-looking tooth replacement.

Types of Dental Crowns

  • Porcelain Crowns: Known for their natural appearance, porcelain crowns are ideal for front teeth.
  • Metal Crowns: These are highly durable and are typically used for out-of-sight molars.
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) Crowns: Offering a balance between durability and aesthetics, PFM crowns are versatile for different needs.
  • Zirconia Crowns: Combining strength and excellent aesthetics, zirconia crowns are increasingly popular for all types of teeth.

The Dental Crown Procedure

  1. Initial Consultation: A thorough examination and x-rays help determine if a dental crown is the best option for you.
  2. Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth is shaped to create room for the crown. If needed, additional support structures may be placed.
  3. Impression Taking: Impressions of your teeth are made to design a custom crown that fits perfectly.
  4. Temporary Crown Placement: A temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth until the permanent crown is ready.
  5. Crown Fitting: The custom-made crown is checked for fit, color, and comfort. Any necessary adjustments are made.
  6. Final Placement: The crown is permanently cemented in place, completing the restoration process.
