Dental Crowns

Crowns

Fragile tooth? Restore it with a crown.

How crowns work

A dental crown protects and wraps a damaged tooth like a snuggly cap (some people call it caps but crown sounds fancy, right?) A well applied crown will permanently protect a damaged tooth and give you an almost natural smile.

The process of applying crowns

Crowns are everlasting. It's like building a house on a damaged foundation to place a crown on a damaged tooth. Until we can consider putting a crown on, we have to make sure that the tooth will sustain it. We use X-Rays to determine decay. When the tooth shows signs of an infection, we will have you working for assessment with one of our specialists.
Your new crown will be the same size as the tooth it protects, meaning we'll need to remove some of your current tooth to match the crown. For a permanent crown, the dentist must numb the region around the tooth and then form the tooth to the correct size. If you want a bridge, either side of your missing tooth we'll prepare the teeth.
Your dentist would get an idea of your upper and lower teeth and the crown should blend in with your smile.
Your teeth, particularly their color and how they handle the light, are unique to you. It's necessary to build a crown that suits the natural look of your teeth.
The dentist will place a temporary, resin crown over the tooth while creating your permanent crown.
When your permanent crown is ready it will be tested by your dentist for fit and look. The dentist will test the bite once it's in place and make final changes.

How long can a crown last?

A crown's average lifespan is around 10 years, but crowns will last a lifetime well-cared for. When you get a crown, then plan for years to come to smile on.

Jennifer and Chrissy were great and help out with taking care of my son. The payment plan is great for me to meet. I recommend Affordable Dental in Meadowbrook for anyone who needs dental work.

Every single staff member did a great job, and I really enjoyed having dr. C .Nguyen as my dentist. Also Paulette at the front was awesome to. I do highly recommend these people if your looking for reasonable and professional dentist. Financing is awesome available. Thanks again!

So to start off I'm not happy about going to the dentist due to high prices and insurance not always working when it needs to, however, when I came to this dentist office I was so relieved. Yes the prices are high (all dental places are) BUT they have payment plans and work with you to try and help you find the best pricing for you. I had an outrageous amount of work needed to be done and the front desk girl PAULETTE was an absolute angel with helping me out. Everyone was super nice and very efficient! I got my new patient consultation and a root canal done in the same day! Will definitely be coming back!
