What Are Tooth Crowns?

Tooth crowns are dental restorations that protect a weak or compromised tooth. The crown covers your natural tooth structure while recreating the surface area to maintain the functionality of your bite pattern. Our dental crowns are carefully crafted to look and feel natural so they blend seamlessly with your smile. We offer traditional and implant-supported dental crowns to fit your specific needs.

Do I Need a Dental Crown?

There are a variety of reasons to need a dental crown, because they perform a necessary function by protecting your tooth from the forces exerted when you chew. Crowns also create a barrier between a compromised tooth and bacteria that can enter and cause infection or decay. Regardless of the reason for needing a crown, you can trust that our friendly team will create a dental restoration that looks great and feels comfortable. Here are some reasons you may need a dental crown:

Large Cavity
Chipped or Broken Tooth
Worn Tooth
A Tooth that had Root Canal Therapy
Lost or Broken Dental Crown

Our Crown Process

We believe every smile is unique and deserves personalized care. That’s why we take the time to get to know you and ask questions to ensure we understand your concerns and aesthetic ideals. We perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jaws to gather detailed information. The dentist uses the results of the exam and the scans to create a custom treatment plan that addresses your oral health needs and smile goals.

Our team carefully matches your crown to the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, resulting in a beautifully blended smile. Our dentist will shape the natural tooth so your dental crown fits comfortably. We send the details to a trusted lab where your custom crown is created, and we provide a temporary crown to protect your tooth structure until your permanent restoration is complete. Once we receive your tooth crown, we invite you back to our office, fit the crown, and check to make sure it is secure and feels good before sealing it in place. We’ll provide helpful tips and instructions to maintain your restoration, and you’ll leave our office ready to share a healthy smile.

Tooth Crown FAQs

Protecting your smile is a lifetime endeavor, and it’s normal to have questions about how dental treatments can boost your oral health. That’s why we encourage you to share your questions and concerns. Our team is happy to provide the answers and resources you need to make an informed decision regarding your custom treatment plan. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about crowns in Meadow Vista:

How long do crowns last?

Dental crowns are durable and can last a decade or longer when you care for them properly. You can increase the longevity of your tooth crown by avoiding chewing on hard foods like ice, hard candy, and certain nuts.

Do I need a crown after root canal therapy?

Yes. The goal of root canal therapy is to remove infection and preserve the natural tooth structure. However, the natural tooth requires a layer of protection to prevent further damage or reinfection, which is why we place a dental crown over the tooth.

How do I take care of my tooth crown?

Dental crowns are easy to care for because you simply brush and floss them twice daily, like your natural teeth. It’s important to maintain your biannual dental appointments so our dentist can verify the integrity of your crown.
