What Is a Dental Crown?

  • A dental crown is a restorative cap that completely covers a damaged, decayed, or unsightly tooth. Crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal, dental crowns restore the tooth’s structure, strength, and appearance.

    At Clove DDS, we utilize modern technology and techniques to ensure your crown looks natural and functions like a regular tooth. Dental crowns are a versatile solution for a variety of dental concerns and can be used in combination with other treatments such as dental bridges or implants.

Signs You Might Need a Dental Crown

  • Cracked or Broken Teeth: A crown can protect and stabilize a tooth that has been fractured or chipped.
  • Extensive Decay: When a cavity is too large for a traditional filling, a crown can provide necessary coverage.
  • Root Canal Therapy: After a root canal, a crown is often placed to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
  • Cosmetic Concerns: Crowns can address discoloration, irregular shapes, or uneven sizes for a more attractive smile.
  • Worn Teeth: Teeth that are worn down due to grinding or acid erosion may benefit from the reinforcement of a crown.
  • Dental Implants: A crown serves as the visible and functional part of a dental implant restoration.

The Dental Crown Procedure

  1. Initial Appointment:
    • We will examine your tooth and discuss your treatment goals.
    • X-rays may be taken to assess the health of the affected tooth and surrounding tissues.
    • The tooth will be prepared by removing any decay and reshaping it to accommodate the crown.
  2. Impressions and Temporary Crown:
    • An impression of the prepared tooth will be taken to create a custom crown.
    • You’ll receive a temporary crown to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being fabricated.
  3. Final Placement:
    • At your second visit, the permanent crown will be checked for fit and color.
    • Once adjustments are made, the crown will be securely bonded to your tooth.
    • You’ll leave with a fully restored tooth that looks and feels natural.
