Dental crowns are versatile restorations used to repair and strengthen damaged or decayed teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Table Mountain Dental specializes in crafting custom dental crowns to restore smiles and improve oral health.
Understanding Dental Crowns
A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a prosthetic covering that encases the entire visible portion of a tooth. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials. They are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Choosing a dental crown offers numerous advantages:
- Restoration of Function: Crowns restore the strength and functionality of a damaged tooth, allowing you to bite and chew with confidence.
- Protection: Crowns provide an added layer of protection for weakened or vulnerable teeth, preventing further damage or decay.
- Aesthetics: Custom-made crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile.
- Longevity: With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, providing a durable solution for tooth restoration.
The Dental Crown Procedure
- Preparation: Dr. Craig Cardon will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damage.
- Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown may be placed while your permanent crown is being fabricated.
- Final Fitting: Once the permanent crown is ready, it is checked for fit and color before being permanently cemented into place.
