Restore Your Smile Today
Crowns replace severe cases of tooth decay that have resulted in a large amount of tooth loss. Crowns allow the tooth to be restored with function and aesthetics without needing an extraction. It is always best to have as much tooth structure as possible.
A bridge may be an option when you are missing a tooth and the teeth on the sides are already compromised. This involves making two crowns on the side of the missing tooth which hold another crown in the middle. This three-piece unit will make you feel like you have a full set of teeth again.
The Dental Crown Placement Process
This process begins with a consult and exam where we develop a plan for you. We take dental impressions to ensure a precise fit for your tooth. We also treat and resolve any decay or infection prior to placement of the crown.
Once the impressions are ready for your tooth, we place the crown for a proper fit. Once your crown is fitted appropriately, you can again be confident about your dental health and your amazing smile.
