What is a dental crown? Should I get one?
Are you looking for a reliable and lasting solution to tooth damage? Dental crowns may be the answer! These thin tooth caps are custom fit over teeth that have suffered excessive decay or erosion, restoring them like new.
Our Clarksville dentists use dental crowns to prevent further failure on misshapen, cracked, and discolored teeth. Also, dental crowns can secure bridges and be placed on dental implants. Investing in a dental crown now could mean saving more on extensive treatments down the line, so don’t hesitate to ask our team about them today.
What are the different types of crowns?
Patients can enhance their smiles and improve dental function with customizable dental crown options. At Beechwood Dental, patients can choose from metal, ceramic, or a combination of both materials and reap the rewards of long-lasting results.
Metal dental crowns are ideal for the strongest, longest-lasting teeth protection. However, if you’re looking for a seamless blend with existing teeth structure and shades that make it almost undetectable in appearance, porcelain fused to metal or ceramic is often recommended. Thanks to its indistinguishable color-match capabilities, patients can return to smiling confidently after their procedures!
What happens during a tooth crown procedure?
Generally, our dentists need two in-person appointments to install a dental crown. At your first dental visit, our Clarksville dentists administer anesthetic to ensure you don’t feel discomfort as they prepare for the crown installation. Before placing the crown, they discard decayed tissue and reshape the tooth so the new dental crown can fit snugly on the prepared tooth. Once prepped and ready, our dentists make impressions of the smile to accurately craft a custom-made dental appliance. Then, they place a temporary crown while waiting for the final crown to be fabricated.
During your second visit, the temporary crown will be replaced with one specially crafted for you. Your dentist will inspect it and make sure that not only does the color match perfectly but also provides a feeling of comfort when in place. Once satisfied, they’ll seal the final crown onto your tooth so that you can revel in a more striking smile than before.
Dental crowns are one of the best restorative dentistry options, from protecting against further tooth damage to improving comfort and appearance. At Beechwood Dental, our Clarksville dentists help patients decide if a dental crown can help improve their smiles (or suggest alternative treatments).
