If a tooth has more extensive decay, a dental crown may be the ideal aesthetic and functional restorative solution.
Crowns can restore both the function and appearance of your smile, helping to improve your self confidence and overall oral health. This treatment option helps you maintain a healthy smile for life.
Choosing to have a crown placed can preserve the natural tooth, which is always the goal as preserving the natural teeth helps maintain the supporting bone structure and stability of the surrounding and adjacent teeth.
The first step in the process is to take an impression that will be used to make a model of the teeth and bite. This allows the crown to be made to look and function like your natural tooth. The tooth will then be prepped, with the decayed areas being removed. An impression of the prepped tooth will be made so that the final crown will fit properly when it is placed. Our experienced dentist and team use state of the art technology to ensure precision and accuracy throughout the process.
Sometimes the final crown can be placed on the same day but other times a temporary crown will be placed while your final restoration is being created. Crowns often last a lifetime with proper care and oral hygiene.
At our practice, we prioritize creating a positive experience for all patients, ensuring your comfort at every visit to our office.
There are four common types of crowns:
Ceramic
This type of crown is often used for teeth that are visible when smiling as they are made from a porcelain-based material that retains the look of your natural teeth.
Porcelain Fused to Metal
These crowns are known for their strength and durability while also allowing for a natural-looking restoration.
Gold Alloys
These may be used when more strength is needed, particularly for patients who grind their teeth at night.
Base Metal Alloys
These are strong and corrosion-resistant and are often used when there is less existing tooth structure available to support the crown restoration. This type of crown provides excellent support when significant tooth structure has been lost.
At Dentistry of Mendham, we provide comprehensive dental services beyond crowns, including dental implants and other restorative and cosmetic treatments. Our commitment is to help every patient achieve optimal oral health and a smile they can feel confident about.
