What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that cover a damaged or decayed tooth. They are designed to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, providing a durable solution that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you’ve had a root canal, a large filling, or a cracked tooth, a dental crown can protect and strengthen your tooth, ensuring long-term dental health.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

• Restores Tooth Function: Regain your ability to chew and speak naturally.
• Enhances Aesthetics: Crowns are matched to your natural tooth color for a seamless look.
• Long-Lasting Durability: With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, offering a cost-effective solution.
• Protects Weakened Teeth: Shields and supports teeth that are cracked or at risk of breaking.

Our Dental Crown Process at Thomson Family Dental

1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Charles Spicer, Dr. Quynh Spicer, or Dr. Amanda Engelbart will conduct a thorough examination to determine if a dental crown is right for you.
2. Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown. A core build-up might be needed if the tooth is significantly weakened.
3. Impression Taking: We take precise impressions of your tooth to craft a custom crown that fits perfectly.
4. Crown Placement: Once your crown is ready, it will be securely fitted and adjusted for comfort, ensuring it functions just like a natural tooth.
