Dental crowns offer a long-term solution to many tooth concerns.
Dental crowns can help restore the strength and appearance of a tooth that has been seriously damaged, weakened, or decayed. It is a custom-made cap that fits over the natural tooth and blends seamlessly with the rest of your teeth, so you get a beautiful smile along with the added protection your tooth needs. At Dentistry by the Lake, we offer dental crowns as part of our comprehensive dental services, and we’d be happy to help you get a durable fitting that feels comfortable and looks like your natural teeth.
There are many circumstances where dental crowns can be helpful. Common uses include:
- Restoring a tooth after a root canal
- Protecting a cracked or weakened tooth
- Covering a large filling that left little of the natural tooth
- Replacing a missing tooth as part of a dental implant
- Improving the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth
Our process for placing dental crowns starts with thorough preparation. We will answer all of your questions and ensure you feel confident in the procedure before we get started. Our skilled team will take precise impressions and fit your tooth with a temporary crown until the permanent, fully customized one is ready. Once your crown has been placed, you can expect to chew and speak comfortably once more, as well as enjoy an enhanced smile.
With proper care, which includes daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, dental crowns can last many years. They are designed to be a strong and reliable solution for restoring and protecting your teeth.
