​Crowns

A dental crown, also known as a dental cap, is a tooth-shaped covering or restoration that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.

Why You Might Need a Crown

  1. To protect a weak or cracked tooth from further damage.

  2. To restore a tooth that has been severely worn down or damaged by decay.

  3. To cover a tooth that has undergone a root canal procedure.

  4. To improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth.

  5. To restore a dental implant.

The Crown Procedure

  • The tooth is numbed with a local anesthetic.

  • Any decay or damage is removed, and the tooth is reshaped as a base for the crown.

  • An impression is taken and sent to a dental lab for custom crown fabrication.

  • A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is being made (about two weeks).

  • The temporary crown is replaced with the permanent crown, ensuring a proper fit and comfortable bite.

Long-Term Benefits

Root canal treatment is a highly effective way to save a damaged or infected tooth and prevent the need for extraction. With proper care, such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, a tooth that has had a root canal can last for many years.
