Dental crowns offer a solution for protecting and enhancing teeth. They cover damaged teeth entirely, restoring shape, size, strength, and appearance, and are made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal, and resin. Typically, the process involves two visits: one for tooth preparation and taking an impression, and another for fitting the crown. At Shwarts Family Dentistry, we provide expert care and personalized service to ensure your dental crown fits perfectly and functions seamlessly.
Dental crowns are needed for various reasons: covering broken or fractured teeth, addressing severe tooth decay, and protecting fragile teeth after a root canal. The material choice affects durability and cost, with porcelain and ceramic being popular for their natural look, metal for durability, and resin for affordability.
The procedure starts with an initial consultation and examination, followed by tooth preparation and taking impressions. A temporary crown is placed until the permanent one is ready. During the second visit, the permanent crown is fitted and secured.
Dental crowns improve appearance, restore function, and offer durability, lasting many years with proper care. Maintenance includes good oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods, and regular dental check-ups. Costs vary based on material, location, and insurance coverage.
Potential risks include sensitivity, allergic reactions, and the possibility of a loose crown. Alternatives to crowns include veneers, bonding, and inlays/onlays, each with its own benefits.
Consult with Shwarts Family Dentistry to determine if a crown is right for you and to explore the best options for achieving a healthy, beautiful smile. For personalized advice, book an appointment with our office today.
