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.

If Claudia suggests you do it, she's right just do it the sooner the better. Staff and Doctors are wonderful, patient, kind even when I kind of had an attitude because I didn't listen and had to come back. Will recommend these guys to any of looking for a great group of specialists.

I had a great experience the minute I walked in. Greeted by front desk. Once I signed in, it was a short wait. X-rays taken and doctor was in pretty quick. Worked out a great payment plan with the help of front desk. Paulette and Claudia were so friendly and helpful! Thank you ladies for being so kind and cheerful.

I had a great experience getting my wisdom teeth removed. Daisy, the dental assistant, was absolutely amazingโ€”so kind, patient, and gentle throughout the entire process. She helped ease my nerves and explained everything in a calm, reassuring way. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and takes pride in her work. She worked seamlessly alongside the dentist and made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. I truly felt like I was in great hands thanks to her! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
