Crowns serve to restore and enhance damaged teeth, as well as to replace those that are missing. Commonly referred to as caps, crowns completely encase a compromised tooth. This not only fortifies the tooth but also significantly enhances its appearance, shape, and alignment. Crowns may be utilized to: • Replace a large filling when there is insufficient tooth structure • Safeguard a weakened tooth from breaking • Repair a fractured tooth • Support a dental bridge • Encase a dental implant • Improve the look of a discolored or misshapen tooth • Envelop a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy.
Crowns and veneers are essential for achieving beautiful aesthetic results. They can successfully address issues such as discoloration, shape irregularities, wear, or alignment problems of teeth. While veneers typically require less alteration of the tooth structure compared to crowns, both can deliver equally stunning aesthetics. The choice between these two options for your smile transformation depends on the overall health of the teeth needing attention.
To embark on your smile makeover journey, we start with detailed planning. We create impressions of your teeth that need treatment, followed by constructing models featuring ideal shapes and positions for your teeth. The existing teeth are shaped to accommodate crowns or veneers, and temporary options are secured based on these pre-designed models. Ultimately, the final crowns or veneers are custom-made and permanently affixed, leaving you with a stunning new smile!
Crowns are commonly employed to address functional problems too. They serve as the preferred solution for restoring teeth that have fractured, cracked, or contain large failing fillings or significant wear, bringing them back to their natural function. In addition to enhancing aesthetics, they are often used to salvage severely damaged teeth.
"Welcoming, professional and respectful of patients levels of anxiety/ and distress regarding dental procedures. The staff takes excellent care in the comfort of patients. Questions are answered respectfully. Warmth and concern are expressed approximately. This is a practice that builds relationships between professional staff and their patients- who are not just “passing through” but are part of the practice- which is not so large that one feels like a number- not an individual."
