Do you have a damaged tooth or an unsightly flaw? Dental crowns can protect your damaged or imperfect tooth, restoring function and beauty.
However, these are not the only ways we use dental crowns.
Dental crown functions and benefits include:
- Restoring strength and stability to a weak or damaged tooth
- Concealing a flawed or discolored tooth
- Elongating short and worn teeth
- Tooth replacement methods, such as implant dentistry and bridgework
How Dental Crowns Work
Dental crowns are custom tooth covers made from various materials, including zirconia, porcelain, metal fused to porcelain, and more. Your dentist will choose the best option for your needs or provide detailed information so you can make an informed decision. Most patients prefer porcelain/ceramic crowns for their beauty and natural-looking finish.
Dental crowns fit over a treated tooth to the gumline or a dental implant root.
For damaged teeth, crowns create a safe space between bite force and tooth, preventing future damage. For dental implants, they act as your replacement teeth above the gumline.
What Is the Procedure Like for Dental Crowns?
The El Dorado Hills dental crown procedure for a damaged tooth involves treating and shaping your natural tooth, taking impressions, and creating the tooth crown. Your dentist then cements the crown over the treated tooth, adjusting for function and aesthetics.
The procedure involves attaching a crown to a single dental implant post using a connector piece called an abutment.
