Achieve a Beautiful, Strong Smile With Dental Crowns
Crowns are dental restorations that are used to cover and protect a damaged tooth. They can also be used to improve the appearance of your teeth. Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and resin, and they can be custom-designed to match the color and shape of your existing teeth. Crowns are a great option for people with severely damaged or discolored teeth who want to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Why Might You Need a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are commonly needed when a tooth is cracked, fractured, or broken. They are also recommended after a root canal, as treated teeth can become more fragile and prone to damage. If a tooth has a large filling or deep decay, a crown can help restore its strength and protect it from further harm.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Crowns?
Dr. Harika Lala will evaluate your teeth to determine if a dental crown is the best solution for you. It’s ideal to place a crown promptly to prevent further damage to a weakened tooth. If you have an old crown that needs replacing, we can easily do so during a quick visit to our office.
What Happens During the Dental Crown Procedure?
The process starts by numbing the area around the affected tooth with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Next, the tooth is reshaped to create space for the crown. Impressions are taken to create a custom crown, and you’ll return for a second appointment to have it placed. Dental crowns are durable and can last for many years, restoring both the strength and appearance of your smile.
