Premium Dental Crowns: Restore Your Smile, Function, and Confidence

Product Overview

A dental crown, often referred to as a "cap," is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth above the gum line. Designed to restore a tooth's original shape, size, strength, and appearance, a crown acts like a protective shield, encasing the entire visible portion of the tooth. Our premium dental crowns are meticulously crafted using advanced materials and techniques to ensure a perfect fit, lasting durability, and a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Why Might You Need a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns are a versatile solution recommended for a variety of dental concerns, including:

• Protecting a weak tooth from fracturing or holding together parts of a cracked tooth.
• Restoring an already broken tooth or a tooth severely worn down.
• Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling when there isn't much tooth structure remaining.
• Holding a dental bridge in place.
• Covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth for cosmetic improvement.
• Restoring a dental implant.
• Covering a tooth after a root canal procedure to protect its integrity.

Key Benefits of Our Dental Crowns

• Exceptional Aesthetics: Custom-matched to your natural tooth color and shape, ensuring a seamless and beautiful smile.
• Restored Functionality: Allows you to chew and speak comfortably and effectively, just like with a natural tooth.
• Long-Lasting Solution: Crafted from durable materials designed to withstand daily wear and tear for many years.

Our Advanced Crown Materials

We offer a range of high-quality materials, each with unique advantages, to best suit your individual needs and aesthetic preferences:

• All-Ceramic / Porcelain Crowns

  • Ideal for: Front teeth and those seeking the most natural, translucent appearance.
  • Benefits: Excellent aesthetics, metal-free, biocompatible, and a great option for patients with metal allergies. Modern ceramics are highly durable.

• Zirconia Crowns

  • Ideal for: Both front and back teeth, especially when strength and aesthetics are equally important.
  • Benefits: Incredibly strong and fracture-resistant, yet still offers excellent aesthetics. Zirconia is biocompatible and can withstand significant chewing forces.

• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

  • Ideal for: Back teeth or situations requiring maximum strength combined with good aesthetics.
  • Benefits: The metal substructure provides exceptional strength, while the porcelain exterior offers a natural tooth-like appearance. A cost-effective balance of durability and beauty.

• Gold or Other Metal Alloy Crowns

  • Ideal for: Back teeth where maximum strength and durability are the primary concerns, and aesthetics are less critical.
  • Benefits: Unmatched strength, very gentle on opposing teeth, and highly resistant to fracture. They require minimal tooth reduction during preparation.

The Dental Crown Process (What to Expect)

Typically, the placement of a dental crown involves two appointments:

1. First Appointment: Consultation & Preparation
   • Your dentist will examine the tooth and take X-rays to ensure it can support a crown.
   • The tooth will be reshaped (prepared) to make room for the crown.
   • Digital impressions or traditional molds of your tooth will be taken and sent to a dental lab.
   • A temporary crown will be placed to protect your prepared tooth while your custom permanent crown is being fabricated.
2. Second Appointment: Crown Placement
   • Once your permanent crown arrives from the lab (usually 1-2 weeks), the temporary crown will be removed.
   • Your dentist will check the fit, bite, and color of the new crown.
   • Once you and your dentist are satisfied, the crown will be permanently bonded to your tooth.

Caring for Your New Crown

With proper care, your dental crown can last for many years, often more than a decade.

• Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day and floss daily around your crowned tooth, just as you would with your natural teeth.
• Regular Dental Check-ups: Continue with your routine dental exams and cleanings to ensure the health of your crown and surrounding teeth.
• Avoid Hard Foods: While durable, avoid chewing on extremely hard foods (like ice, hard candies, or popcorn kernels) which could potentially chip or damage your crown.
• Address Grinding/Clenching: If you grind or clench your teeth (bruxism), your dentist may recommend a nightguard to protect your crown and natural teeth.
