When a tooth is damaged or weakened, a dental crown can restore its strength, function and appearance. Dental crowns provide a long-lasting solution for patients with cracked, decayed or worn-down teeth. Our dentists and team offer high-quality crowns designed to protect teeth while blending naturally with your smile.
Strengthening and Restoring Teeth
A dental crown is commonly used to restore teeth that are too damaged for a standard filling while preventing further deterioration. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic and metal, each offering durability and aesthetic benefits.
Patients may need a dental crown for several reasons, including:
- Protecting a weakened or fractured tooth
- Restoring a tooth after a root canal
- Covering a dental implant
- Enhancing the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth
- Supporting a tooth with a large filling that lacks enough natural structure
By placing a crown, our team helps patients maintain proper bite alignment and prevent additional oral health issues.
Personalized and Comfortable Treatment
Our dentists and team focus on patient comfort and precision when designing and placing dental crowns. The process typically involves preparing the tooth, taking impressions and ensuring a perfect fit for long-term durability. Modern dental technology allows us to create crowns that match the natural shape and color of surrounding teeth, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
We take the time to explain each step of the process and address any concerns to ensure that patients feel confident in their treatment. Our goal is to provide a seamless experience at Prime Dental Group with results that improve both oral health and overall well-being.
