What Can a Dental Crown Fix?

We use dental crowns to solve a wide variety of major dental problems caused by accidents, disease, or daily wear and tear. We frequently recommend a crown to:

  • Protect a weak or cracked tooth from breaking completely
  • Restore a badly worn down or fractured tooth
  • Cover and support a tooth that has a very large filling
  • Protect a fragile tooth after root canal therapy
  • Cover severely discolored or misshapen teeth

The Benefits of Choosing Our Crowns

Our custom dental crowns provide incredible long-term benefits for your oral health. We use high-grade porcelain and porcelain-bonded-to-gold materials to ensure maximum strength and durability.

  • Natural Appearance: We custom-shade the porcelain to match the exact color of your surrounding teeth seamlessly.
  • Restored Function: A crown rebuilds your bite, allowing you to chew your favorite foods and speak comfortably.
  • Long-Lasting Results: With excellent daily oral hygiene, our high-quality crowns can last 20 to 30 years.
  • Relief from Pain: Covering a tooth that has tiny hairline cracks instantly relieves the sharp pain associated with chewing.

What to Expect During the Crown Process

Getting a custom dental crown requires two comfortable visits to our office. We prioritize your peace of mind and comfort at every step of the procedure.

During your first visit, Dr. Anthony Ortega gently removes any decay and shapes the tooth to prepare it for the restoration. We take highly precise impressions to ensure your new crown fits flawlessly. Before you leave, we place a secure temporary crown to protect your tooth while a specialized dental lab crafts your permanent piece.

On your second visit, we carefully remove the temporary cover. We place your new, permanent crown and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite feels perfectly aligned. Finally, we cement the crown securely into place, leaving you with a beautiful, fully restored tooth.

FAQ

Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of either plastic or metal.

On the subsequent visit, we will remove the temporary crown and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful looking tooth.

Where damage to a person’s teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain “pasted on gold” crowns to make the smile appear “as new”. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for 20 to 30 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.

  • Offers support to misshapen teeth or badly broken teeth
  • Looks completely natural
  • Fixes “smile” and functional chewing problems

Crown and bridgework is a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or bridges can be used as a long-term solution.

Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause “appearance” problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.
