Why do I need a dental crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped restoration worn over a tooth to rebuild its strength and appearance. Although dental crowns may be as tiny as a fingernail, they have several uses in dentistry.
Some include:
- Replacing missing teeth: We can pair dental crowns with dental bridges or implants to replace one or multiple missing teeth.
- Restoration: A dental crown provides full tooth coverage, making it ideal for repairing severely damaged or weakened teeth.
- Aesthetics: We can use dental crowns to improve the appearance of misshapen, discolored, or damaged teeth. Our ceramic dental crowns can be matched to the shade of your existing teeth, delivering natural and seamless results.
Our dental crowns are crafted precisely, combining advanced technology and high-quality materials. Focusing on functionality and aesthetics, we create crowns that restore your smile’s strength and beauty with remarkable outcomes.
How are dental crowns placed?
Your treatment starts with a consultation, where the dentist examines your tooth with digital X-rays. This examination determines the extent of damage to determine your crown eligibility. If so, the dentist prepares your tooth by reshaping the enamel to accommodate your crown’s shape. Next, we take digital scans of your tooth that our dental lab will use to custom-create your crown.
As you wait for your new crown, the dentist will protect your prepped tooth with an interim crown. When we receive your crown, you’ll schedule an appointment for fitment. After ensuring your crown looks natural and fits comfortably, the dentist uses durable dental cement to bond your crown to your tooth. Just like that, you have a beautiful, fully functional smile.
What are the benefits of non-metal crowns?
Metal restorations have a place in dentistry, but ceramic restorations have quickly overtaken them. Here is why we prefer non-metal crowns like zirconia or porcelain.Â
- Aesthetics: Metal stands out like a sore thumb whenever you open your mouth. Metal restorations also leave a noticeable silver mark on your smile over time. Ceramic closely mimics the appearance of natural teeth, providing a more lifelike, discrete outcome. Also, having any metal in your mouth acts as an antenna that absorbs the EMF and radiates it to the body and brain.
- Biocompatibility: Patients allergic to metal may experience itchiness, redness, and other adverse reactions with metal restorations. Ceramic materials are highly compatible with the natural tissues in the mouth, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or irritation.
- Durability: Although ceramics are metal-free, they are solid. High-quality ceramics are strong and durable enough to endure the daily mechanical loads of chewing and grinding. Ceramic restorations offer a long-lasting option for mouth restoration.
- Stain resistance: Zirconia and porcelain crowns resist staining, helping you maintain your radiant, flawless smile for many years.
