Welcome to Highland Family Dental Care, where we prioritize your dental health and comfort. Dr. Mana Shoeybi and our dedicated team are here to provide you with the best care possible. One of the services we offer is dental crowns, a versatile solution for restoring and enhancing your smile.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, size, and function. Think of it as a protective shield for your tooth, designed to look and feel just like a natural tooth. Crowns are crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these, ensuring they can withstand the forces of chewing and biting.
The primary purpose of a dental crown is to strengthen a tooth that has been weakened by decay, fracture, or a large filling. It can also be used to improve the appearance of a tooth that is discolored or misshapen. By covering the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, a crown provides a seamless and natural look, blending in perfectly with your other teeth.
Dental crowns are versatile and can be used in various situations. They are often recommended after a root canal treatment to protect the treated tooth, or to anchor a dental bridge in place. Crowns can also be placed on top of dental implants, serving as the visible part of the replacement tooth.
At Highland Family Dental Care, we ensure that each dental crown is meticulously crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing you with a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing result. Whether you need a crown for restorative or cosmetic reasons, Dr. Mana Shoeybi and our team are here to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
Reasons for Needing a Dental Crown
You might need a dental crown if you have:
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A tooth that has undergone a root canal
- A large filling that needs support
- A dental implant that needs covering
- Discolored or misshapen teeth for cosmetic improvement
Types of Crowns
There are several types of crowns available, each with its own benefits:
- Porcelain Crowns: These are popular for their natural look and are often used for front teeth.
- Metal Crowns: Known for their strength, these are ideal for molars that require durability.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: These offer a balance of strength and aesthetics.
- Ceramic Crowns: Great for those with metal allergies, providing a natural appearance.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Getting a dental crown usually involves two visits to our office. During the first visit, Dr. Shoeybi will examine your tooth and prepare it for the crown. This may involve reshaping the tooth and taking an impression to ensure the crown fits perfectly. You’ll receive a temporary crown to protect your tooth until the permanent one is ready. On your second visit, the permanent crown will be placed and adjusted for a perfect fit.
