office directions At our practice, we understand how important a healthy, beautiful smile is to you. Dental crowns are a versatile solution that can restore the appearance and function of your teeth. Whether you have a damaged tooth or want to enhance your smile, dental crowns offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing option.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, making them an excellent choice for both restorative and cosmetic purposes. They provide strength and protection to weakened teeth and can also improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Why Choose Dental Crowns?
Choosing dental crowns can offer numerous benefits for your oral health and confidence. Crowns can protect a weak tooth from breaking, restore an already broken tooth or support a tooth with a large filling. They can also support a dental bridge, cover unsightly teeth and be placed over a dental implant.
Our Process
Our approach to dental crowns begins with a comprehensive examination. We will discuss your dental health, aesthetic goals and any concerns you may have. Next, we prepare the affected tooth, take precise impressions and place a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is being crafted. Once your custom crown is ready, we will ensure it fits perfectly and looks natural before securing it in place.
We are committed to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
