At Mission Family Dentistry, we proudly craft and place crowns that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that your smile looks natural and vibrant. Dental crowns are tailor-made caps placed over teeth that are damaged, decayed, or cracked, providing a covering that helps strengthen and protect the tooth’s structure while restoring its original shape and size.
The Process of Receiving a Dental Crown
- First, the tooth is carefully examined and prepared. Any decay is removed, and the tooth is reshaped to fit the crown properly.
- An impression of the tooth is then taken to ensure the crown fits seamlessly with your bite and matches the shape and color of your surrounding teeth.
- A temporary crown may be placed while your permanent crown is being crafted in a dental laboratory.
- Once your crown is ready, it will be securely fitted, adjusted, and bonded into place to ensure optimal comfort and functionality.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- They restore the functionality and appearance of your teeth, allowing you to enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile.
- Crowns help protect against further tooth decay, damage, and loss by providing a strong protective barrier.
- They are customized to match the color and contour of your existing teeth, ensuring a natural look.
- Crowns can last many years with proper care, making them a cost-effective solution for damaged teeth.
