If you are looking to restore, protect, or enhance your teeth, dental crowns are an excellent option to consider.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are protective coverings that encase damaged or weakened teeth. They are custom-made to fit over your existing tooth structure, providing both strength and aesthetic improvement. Crowns are a versatile solution for a wide range of dental concerns, including:
- Restoring severely decayed or damaged teeth
- Protecting teeth after root canal treatment
- Rebuilding teeth with large fillings
- Improving the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth
- Supporting dental bridges
Types of Dental Crowns
At Robert Miller, DDS, we offer various types of dental crowns to cater to individual needs and preferences. Our experienced dentist will guide you in choosing the best option for your specific case. The common types of dental crowns include:
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are popular for their natural appearance and excellent durability. They can be color-matched to your surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless integration and an aesthetically pleasing result. Porcelain crowns are an ideal choice for front teeth.
Metal Crowns
Metal crowns, often made of gold or silver alloys, offer exceptional strength and longevity. They are particularly suitable for back teeth, where strength is a priority over aesthetics.
Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns combine the benefits of both porcelain and metal crowns. They possess excellent strength while maintaining natural-looking aesthetics. Ceramic crowns are an excellent option for restoring both front and back teeth.
Composite Resin Crowns
Composite resin crowns are an affordable and versatile option. They provide good durability and can be color-matched to your natural teeth. However, they may be more prone to chipping or staining over time.
The Crown Placement Procedure
Getting a dental crown typically requires two visits to our dental office. During the first visit, Dr. Robert Miller will assess your oral health, discuss your concerns, and prepare your tooth for the crown. This involves removing any decay and shaping the tooth to create space for the crown.
Next, impressions of your teeth will be taken to craft a custom crown that fits perfectly. While the permanent crown is being made, a temporary one will be placed to protect your tooth.
During the second visit, the temporary crown will be removed, and the permanent crown will be carefully bonded to your tooth using strong dental cement. Dr. Robert Miller will ensure the crown fits well and looks natural, making any necessary adjustments.
