At Center Valley Dental, we are proud to offer dental crowns as part of our restorative dentistry services. Dental crowns are an excellent solution for patients who have decayed, damaged, or weakened teeth and want to restore their smile’s function and appearance. Our dentists, Dr. Lang and Dr. Ren, provide custom dental crowns using quality materials to achieve exceptional results. A dental crown should fit and feel completely natural and maintain your natural bite.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth. Crowns help restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a tooth compromised by decay, injury, or other dental issues. Once a crown is in place, it covers the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, protecting it from further damage and allowing it to function like a natural tooth.
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials. At Center Valley Dental, we often recommend porcelain crowns because they look natural and blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
There are several reasons why your dentist might recommend a crown. Some common reasons include:
- A tooth that is cracked or broken
- A tooth that has been severely worn down
- A tooth that has a large filling and needs extra support
- A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
- To cover a dental implant
- To improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth
If you are experiencing any of these dental issues, a crown can restore your tooth’s strength and protect it from future damage.
