Dental Crowns are durable restorations that cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. Made from materials like porcelain or ceramic, crowns enhance both the function and appearance of your smile, restoring strength and beauty to compromised teeth.
Are You a Good Candidate for a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns can be used with a dental implant to replace a missing tooth, or attached a bridge. They can also be used to treat tooth imperfections and damage including:
- Broken or damaged teeth
- Misshapen or otherwise unattractive-looking teeth
- Teeth that have become brittle or weak from a root canal
- Teeth that have weakened from having amalgam fillings
The Dental Crown Placement Process
Dental crown placement is typically performed over two dental visits. During your first visit, our dental professionals will prepare your tooth to receive the dental crown by removing some tooth enamel. Once the tooth has been resized, we will make an impression of your tooth.
Crowns are usually created in an outside lab using the impressions taken by our dental professionals. These impressions allow our dentists to perfectly match your new crown to your existing teeth. To protect your tooth until the permanent crown is ready, we will place a temporary crown.
Dental Crown Treatment Syracuse Once your permanent crown is ready, you will need to return to our office to have it placed. A member of our dental team will remove your temporary crown and place the permanent one in its place. If necessary, your dentist will put the finishing touches on your crown to make sure it fits perfectly and matches the surrounding teeth. To finish the procedure, the crown will be bonded to your teeth using dental cement.
