I really appreciate the experience I’ve had here.  I’m the type of person that’s pretty nervous about going to the dentist…they dealt with me in a kind way and I didn’t feel any kind of pain, they were able to sedate me…I’m very happy with the end result.  I had a broken tooth so they put a crown on and a veneer on my other tooth, they took care of everything. They also did a whitening… was a really nice experience - Brian

What are Dental Crowns?

lady smilingA crown is a prosthetic postioned over a tooth to create a smoother look and enhance strength and durability. When a tooth is cracked, has an old filling, or is severely decayed, the placement of a crown is often recommended. Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your smile. Types of crowns include the full porcelain crown (ideal for use on the front teeth), the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and the all-metal crown (ideal for use on the back teeth).

The Dental Crown Procedure

Before placing the crown on the tooth, we file the tooth down to make room for it. Then an impression of the tooth and the surrounding teeth is taken. A temporary acrylic crown is placed on the tooth. When the permanent crown is ready (1-2 weeks normally), the temporary crowns are replaced. A crown may last up to 40 years.
