Dental crowns are a restorative treatment that can be used for a variety of reasons. For example, they strengthen teeth weakened by cracks, cavities, or root canal treatment. They can cover irregularly shaped teeth or teeth with severe discoloration. Crowns can also complete a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.
While dental crowns are usually placed on molars, they can also be used on the incisors, canines, or premolars. Each crown is custom-made to fit snugly over the tooth that needs reinforcement or cosmetic coverage. They are designed to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile!
At Your Community Smile, we offer CEREC® same-day dental crowns. We’ll first gently reshape your tooth and take an impression of it so your crown will be a perfect fit. With our on-site milling machine, we’ll create your custom dental crown and bond it to your tooth in just one visit! This revolutionary technology is more efficient and convenient, since traditional crowns take at least two appointments.
Crowns on your front teeth don’t require special care beyond what you’d do for your regular teeth. Brush at least twice a day, floss every day, and visit our office for regular cleanings and exams. Reduce your risk of tooth discoloration by avoiding tobacco products, coffee, and wine.
