What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-crafted, tooth-shaped cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. This protective restoration is precisely designed to match your natural teeth in appearance and function, restoring the tooth's strength, shape, and size while maintaining your smile's natural beauty.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Improved oral function: Crowns restore the natural shape and function of your teeth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably.
- Enhanced aesthetics: Crowns are crafted from materials that mimic the translucency and color of natural teeth, and Dr. Leila carefully matches your crown to your surrounding teeth for a seamless blend.
- Durable and long-lasting: With proper care, your dental crown can provide long-term protection and stability for your tooth.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
You may be a candidate for a dental crown if you have:
- A severely damaged or decayed tooth
- A weakened tooth at risk of fracturing
- A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
- A large filling that needs replacement
- A misshapen or severely discolored tooth
- A dental implant needing restoration
Getting a Dental Crown at San Juan Family Dentistry
Getting a dental crown at San Juan Family Dentistry is a comfortable, straightforward process that takes place over two visits. During your first appointment, Dr. Leila uses advanced SOL dental laser technology to precisely prepare your tooth, gently removing any damaged areas with minimal discomfort and shaping it to accommodate your new crown. Detailed digital impressions are taken to ensure your custom crown will fit precisely and comfortably, and a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is crafted.
When your custom crown is ready, usually within about two weeks, you'll return for a second appointment. Dr. Leila will carefully check the fit and appearance of the permanent crown before bonding it securely in place. This two-visit approach, supported by SOL laser technology, allows for greater precision and a more comfortable experience throughout your treatment.
