What Exactly Is a Dental Crowns?
Think of a dental crown as a helmet for your tooth: a custom-made cap that fits snugly over a damaged, weakened, or unattractive tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns fully encase the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, offering both protection and aesthetic improvement.
Why Getting a Dental Crown Isn’t Just Cosmetic — It’s Crucial
Our Crown Process: Precision, Comfort, Beauty
- Smile Assessment & Digital Imaging: First, we conduct a thorough exam and take precise digital scans of your mouth to create a blueprint for your custom crown. No messy impressions here!
- Tooth Preparation: We gently reshape the tooth to ensure the crown fits snugly and comfortably. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while the permanent one is crafted.
- Custom Crown Fabrication: We partner with top dental labs that craft your crown from premium materials, perfectly matching your natural teeth's color and contour.
- Final Fitting & Placement: Your new crown is securely bonded to your tooth once ready. We make any necessary adjustments to guarantee a flawless fit, natural appearance, and proper bite.
Types of Crowns We Offer
All-ceramic or porcelain crowns are the top choice for restoring front teeth due to their exceptionally lifelike appearance. These crowns closely mimic the natural translucency of enamel, making them virtually indistinguishable from surrounding teeth. Ideal for aesthetic purposes, they offer an incredibly natural look while providing good strength for teeth that don’t undergo heavy biting forces. Because they contain no metal, these crowns are also highly biocompatible, making them a great choice for those with sensitivities. Their color can be customized to match the shade of your natural teeth perfectly.
Zirconia crowns are extremely strong and durable, making them an excellent option for molars and back teeth that withstand heavy chewing forces. These crowns are crafted from a ceramic material called zirconium oxide, known for its resilience and natural-looking finish. Zirconia offers functionality and aesthetics, providing strength comparable to metal crowns while being highly resistant to wear and fractures. Additionally, they are more biocompatible than metal crowns, reducing the risk of irritation and providing a more comfortable solution for patients.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns combine the best of both worlds, offering strength and aesthetics. These crowns feature a metal base for durability and support, while a porcelain outer layer ensures a natural look. The metal foundation makes them more resilient and ideal for back teeth that endure significant pressure from chewing. PFM crowns are a popular choice for patients who need a strong yet aesthetically pleasing option. While the porcelain provides a lifelike appearance, the metal ensures stability, particularly for those with heavier bite forces.
Gold crowns are the gold standard for durability and strength, especially for patients with strong biting forces. Known for their long-lasting wear, gold crowns are ideal for molars and back teeth, where strength is a priority. Although they may not blend seamlessly with natural teeth, their exceptional durability makes them perfect for areas that experience the most pressure. Gold crowns are highly resistant to wear and rarely cause sensitivity issues. Though less common for front teeth due to their visible color, they are an excellent choice for function over aesthetics.
