Dental crowns or “tooth caps” are a type of dental restoration that fully covers a damaged tooth or an implant. They are typically used to strengthen and improve the shape, size, or appearance of the tooth. Dental crowns can be made from various materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal, or resin.
As a major player in restorative dentistry, dental crowns come with an impressive list of benefits. Here’s what you should know.
There are several reasons a dental crown could be necessary. While not an exhaustive list, a crown is ideal for the following situations:
If you are considering a dental crown, we will first need to assess the condition of your tooth and make sure that a crown is the best treatment option. Then we can fabricate a crown in our dental office and place it that same day.
With proper care, a crown can last for many years. Here are a few tips for caring for your dental crown:
While dental crowns have been used for many years to improve the appearance of teeth, recent advances in materials and manufacturing techniques have resulted in crowns with a natural appearance that is indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth.
Thanks to these breakthroughs, dental crowns can now be made from porcelain or ceramic, which mimic the translucency and color of natural teeth. In addition, the latest generation of crowns is precision-crafted using computer-aided design and advanced milling technology. This allows for previously impossible accuracy, resulting in crowns that fit snugly and blend seamlessly in your smile’s appearance.
In addition to these and other special events throughout the year, we continually seek to find ways to help others in our community. In the past, we have donated Thanksgiving dinners to two deserving Southeastern Dental Center families in need. We also proudly support local sports teams for youth like little league teams and the HC Lady Tigers.
