Dental crowns are a critical restorative solution for protecting and strengthening teeth that have been damaged or compromised. Dr. Clara Nguyen is dedicated to providing patients with high-quality, custom-made crowns that improve both functionality and appearance. Whether due to decay, fractures or cosmetic concerns, crowns offer long-term protection and restoration for your teeth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, zirconia or metal, ensuring a natural look and durable results.
Crowns may be recommended for the following reasons:
- Protecting a weak tooth: A tooth weakened by decay or fractures benefits from the extra protection provided by a crown.
- Restoring a broken tooth: Crowns repair and restore the structure and function of cracked or broken teeth.
- Supporting dental bridges: Crowns are used to anchor dental bridges, filling the space left by missing teeth.
- Covering dental implants: Crowns complete the restoration of dental implants, creating a natural-looking replacement for lost teeth.
- Improving aesthetics: Discolored or misshapen teeth can be enhanced with crowns, contributing to a more attractive smile.
What to Expect During a Crown Procedure
The process of getting a crown typically involves two visits to Coast Dental Group. During the first visit, our dentist will evaluate your tooth, prepare it by removing any decay and reshape it to make room for the crown. An impression will be taken to ensure the custom crown fits perfectly. You will receive a temporary crown to protect your tooth while the permanent one is crafted.
At your second visit, the permanent crown will be cemented in place. We will ensure a precise fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort and the crown’s durability.
