Dental Crowns
We are dedicated to restoring and enhancing your smile with high-quality dental crowns. Dental crowns are a versatile and effective solution for a variety of dental issues, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits. Our experienced team uses the latest techniques and materials to ensure that your dental crowns look natural and last for years to come.
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are designed to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, and composite resin, each offering unique benefits.
When are Dental Crowns Needed?
Dental crowns are used to address several dental problems, including:
- Tooth Decay: When a tooth is severely decayed and cannot be restored with a filling, a crown can protect and strengthen it.
- Broken or Fractured Teeth: Crowns can restore the structure and function of a broken or fractured tooth.
- Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a crown is often placed over the treated tooth to protect it and restore its function.
- Large Fillings: When a tooth has a large filling that compromises its strength, a crown can provide additional support.
- Cosmetic Enhancements: Crowns can improve the appearance of misshapen, discolored, or worn-down teeth.
- Dental Implants: Crowns are used to complete dental implants, providing a natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
The Dental Crown Process
At Middletown Dental Services, we ensure that the dental crown process is comfortable and efficient. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: Our dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your needs, and determine if a dental crown is the right solution for you.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown is carefully shaped to accommodate the crown. This may involve removing a small amount of tooth structure.
- Impressions: We take precise impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a custom-fit crown that matches the shape and color of your natural teeth.
- Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.
- Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, it is securely bonded to your tooth, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Durability: Crowns are strong and durable, providing long-lasting protection and function.
- Aesthetics: Custom-made crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile.
- Protection: Crowns protect weakened teeth from further damage or decay.
- Improved Function: Restoring damaged teeth with crowns improves your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
