Why do I need a dental crown?

A crown is a customized restoration that envelops your tooth to bolster its aesthetics and structural integrity. From enhanced functionality to improved aesthetics, dental crowns offer several functions.

Here’s why you may need a dental crown:

Missing teeth: We can pair a dental crown with a bridge or implant to fill gaps left by missing teeth.
Repair damage: A dental crown is the best restoration if the remaining healthy structure can’t support a dental filling.
Reinforce your tooth: Trauma, repeated dental work, and natural wear can weaken your tooth. A dental crown can reinforce your tooth structure, restoring its health and functionality.
Enhance aesthetics: We can use dental crowns to enhance the appearance of damaged, discolored, or uneven teeth.

Achieving success with dental crowns requires precision and careful planning. We blend cutting-edge technology and artistry to create crowns that look natural, feel comfortable, and last many years. Many of our crown patients tell us it feels like having a natural tooth back!

How are dental crowns placed?

We place most dental crowns within two dental appointments. First, the dentist examines your tooth to determine its eligibility for a crown. If so, your gums are precisely numbed with local anesthetics to ensure a comfortable dental experience. Then, we prepare your tooth by gently reshaping the enamel while removing damaged portions.

We’ll then take impressions of your tooth to ensure the custom fabrication of your crown. Our team will protect your prepped tooth with an interim crown until you receive your new restoration.

Your second appointment is much faster than the initial one. The dentist will inspect the fit of your new crown, make necessary adjustments and bond it to your tooth. That’s it! Your crowned tooth looks and functions like a real tooth.

Can a dental crown loosen or fall out?

Dental crowns are created to last many years, but accidents and premature wear can happen. If your dental crown becomes loose or dislodged, don’t panic—but act quickly and carefully. Here’s what to do:

If the crown has come out completely, gently remove it from your mouth to avoid swallowing or choking on it.
Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater and take over-the-counter painkillers to ease discomfort.
If the crown is intact, rinse and store it in a clean container or zip-top bag.
Contact your dentist as soon as possible. A loose or dislodged crown can leave your tooth vulnerable to damage, sensitivity, or infection. Your dentist will evaluate the tooth and either re-cement the existing crown or recommend a replacement.

Is it time to upgrade your smile with dental crowns?
