Crowns
A cracked, broken, or damaged tooth, left untreated, can leave your oral health susceptible to a host of problems. North Mountain Dentistry is proud to offer quality dental crowns, skillfully and artistically created to restore your healthy smile. Learn more about what our cutting-edge crowns can do for you.
What Are Dental Crowns and What Are Their Uses?
A dental crown is a restoration we use to strengthen a weak or damaged tooth or to repair its size, shape, alignment, or appearance. We offer crowns in a variety of materials, including ceramic and porcelain fused to metal.
Crowns are versatile restorations with many uses. The following are some possible reasons you may require a dental crown:
- Correcting the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth
- Strengthening teeth after root canal therapy
- Preserving teeth weakened by deep decay, injury, or breakage
- Repairing teeth worn due to grinding, a condition known as bruxism
- Covering dental implants to restore missing teeth
Why Choose Ceramic Crowns?
Our ceramic crowns are translucent, with amazingly lifelike results unmatched by any other type of restoration. The material is very strong and durable, withstanding the rigors of chewing. Ceramic crowns provide excellent protection for the underlying tooth structure, practically sealing off bacteria and preventing new decay. Moreover, being metal-free, ceramic crowns do not cause metal allergies.
How Are Dental Crowns Placed?
The dental crown procedure typically requires two office visits. We will prepare your tooth to accommodate your restoration, and then we will make an impression of the area to send to our dental laboratory for fabrication. We will place a temporary crown to protect your prepared tooth.
When your dental crown is ready, you will return to our office for a follow-up appointment. After checking your new restoration for a perfect fit, we will cement it in place and make some final adjustments. Your new dental crown will restore your tooth's strength, function, and appearance.
How Should You Care for Your Restored Teeth?
To ensure the longevity of your new crown, you need to maintain proper oral hygiene practices. Make sure to brush and floss regularly and to keep up with your routine dental exams and cleanings. That will allow your trusted team at North Mountain Dentistry to monitor your oral health and restorations to ensure they stay in tip-top shape. With proper care, your new crowns will keep you smiling with confidence for many years to come.
