At Dental Arcade, we understand that preserving the structural integrity and appearance of your teeth is crucial. Dental crowns, one of the comprehensive services we offer, play a key role in restoring and enhancing the function and aesthetics of damaged or weakened teeth. 

When Dental Crowns Are Needed

Dental crowns are recommended in various situations, including:

  • Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth has extensive decay that cannot be effectively addressed with a filling.
  • Cracked or Fractured Teeth: To protect and reinforce teeth with cracks or fractures.
  • Large Fillings: After a large filling, a dental crown provides added strength and support to the tooth.
  • Root Canal Therapy: Following a root canal procedure, a dental crown is often placed to protect and restore the treated tooth. 

Comprehensive Assessment

Dr. Dansa and Dr. Valaskes assess your mouth to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your specific dental needs. This includes evaluating the extent of damage, considering the location of the affected tooth and discussing your preferences.

  

The Dental Crown Procedure

The placement of a dental crown typically involves the following steps:

  1. Tooth Preparation: The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed to create space for the crown.
  2. Impression: An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to ensure a custom-fit crown.
  3. Temporary Crown: While the permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.
  4. Permanent Crown Placement: Once the custom crown is ready, it is securely bonded to the tooth, restoring its strength and appearance. 

Aftercare and Maintenance

Following the placement of a dental crown, our dentists and team provide guidance on aftercare and maintenance. This includes maintaining good oral hygiene practices, regular checkups and addressing any concerns promptly to prolong the life of the crown.
