The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are versatile and offer a range of benefits, making them an excellent choice for various dental issues. They can:

  • Protect a weak tooth from breaking
  • Restore an already broken or severely worn-down tooth
  • Cover and support a tooth with a large filling
  • Hold a dental bridge in place
  • Cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth
  • Cover a dental implant

The process of getting a dental crown is designed to be smooth and efficient. It typically involves two visits. During the first visit, our dentist will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. We will then take an impression of your tooth, which will be used to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being made.

We understand that dental procedures can sometimes be daunting, which is why our team is committed to providing a comfortable and welcoming environment for all our patients. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the latest technology to ensure that your dental crown fits perfectly and looks natural.
