Are you dealing with a damaged or weakened tooth? Your smile should never feel compromised, and at Smile Station Dental Care, we offer top-quality dental crowns designed to restore both the function and beauty of your teeth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns act as protective caps for weakened, broken or aesthetically compromised teeth. They cover the entire tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength and appearance. Made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, crowns at Smile Station Dental Care provide a durable solution to a variety of dental issues.
Why You Might Need a Dental Crown:
- To Repair a Damaged or Fractured Tooth: When a tooth is too damaged for standard fillings, a crown provides a reliable solution.
- To Strengthen a Tooth After a Root Canal: It completes the restoration process, protecting the treated tooth.
- To Restore a Dental Implant: Crowns act as the finishing touch on a dental implant, allowing for natural function and aesthetics.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns can disguise misshapen or heavily discolored teeth.
- Support for Bridges: They anchor dental bridges, ensuring stability and function.
The Dental Crown Procedure
At Smile Station Dental Care, we prioritize your comfort, offering sedation as needed while giving you high-quality care. The dental crown process involves:
- Assessment and Preparation: Dr. Scott Bridges uses advanced imaging technology to assess the affected tooth and prepare it by removing any decay or damage.
- Precise Fitting: An impression is taken to create a perfectly fitting crown. This process makes sure the crown fits snugly and mimics the natural appearance of your surrounding teeth.
- Temporary Crown: While your custom crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will protect your tooth.
- Final Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, Dr. Bridges will place it into a perfect fit and make any necessary adjustments before permanently securing the crown with dental cement.
Smile Station Dental Care is committed to a stress-free experience. One patient shared, “Dr. Bridges explained every step and made me feel at ease. The result was fantastic, like I have a new tooth!”
Smiles That Stand the Test of Time
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily and visiting us regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoiding hard foods can also prevent potential damage to your crown.
With proper care, dental crowns can last from 10 to 15 years or more. Regular dental visits ensure they remain in good condition.
Coverage for dental crowns varies by insurance provider. We recommend checking your policy details or contacting your provider. Our office can help explain your coverage and financing options.
The process typically requires two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, and an impression is taken to create the crown. At the second appointment, we fit and secure the permanent crown.
No, dental crowns are crafted to match the color and translucency of your natural teeth. They are designed to blend seamlessly to make sure that your smile looks entirely natural.
