Do you suffer from dental damage? Dental crowns might be the solution. At Radiance Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we provide high-quality dental crowns to restore the function and appearance of damaged teeth.
Dr. Rebecca Rath specializes in traditional gold, e.max, and zirconia crowns, ensuring you receive the best solution for your needs. While we do not offer same-day crowns, our durable custom crowns are designed to blend with your natural smile.
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are an essential part of restorative dentistry, providing a durable solution for a variety of dental issues. Crowns are often placed over teeth after they have had a root canal completed. At Radiance Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we use the latest materials and techniques to create crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
We offer several types of crowns to meet your specific needs and preferences:
- Traditional gold crowns: Known for their durability and strength, gold crowns are ideal for molars and back teeth.
- E.max crowns: Made from high-strength ceramic, these crowns offer a natural look and excellent durability.
- Zirconia crowns: Extremely strong and aesthetic, zirconia crowns are suitable for both front and back teeth.
Advantages of Dental Crowns
Patients who suffer from dental damage or missing teeth can benefit greatly from dental crowns. Dental crowns restore function by enabling proper chewing and speaking, making everyday activities more comfortable and efficient.
They also enhance appearance, as custom crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, resulting in a more attractive smile.
Additionally, the durability of dental crowns is noteworthy, as high-quality materials ensure long-lasting results, providing a reliable solution for maintaining your dental health over time.
The Dental Crown Process
How Are Dental Crowns Placed?
The dental crown process begins with a consultation where Dr. Rath will assess your dental health and discuss the best type of crown for your specific needs. Next, the tooth preparation stage involves shaping the damaged tooth to make room for the crown. This is followed by taking impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
Once the custom crown is ready, it is carefully fitted and bonded to your tooth, ensuring a secure and natural-looking result. Finally, Dr. Rath will provide you with detailed instructions for caring for your new crown to ensure its longevity.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or even longer. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene practices are essential to maintaining their longevity. It’s important to avoid habits that can damage the crowns, such as biting on hard objects, grinding your teeth, or using your teeth to open packages.
Maintaining a healthy diet and addressing any dental issues promptly can also help extend the life of your dental crowns. You can always consult with Dr. Rath if you have questions about your dental crown.
