At cUsmile Dental Care Centre, we provide dental crowns as a versatile solution for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. Crowns, also known as caps, are designed to cover the entire tooth surface, providing strength and improving its appearance.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that encase a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and function. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials, depending on your specific needs.
When Are Crowns Needed?
- Severe Decay: When a tooth has extensive decay that cannot be treated with a filling.
- Cracked or Fractured Teeth: To protect and support a tooth that is broken or at risk of breaking.
- After Root Canal Therapy: Crowns are often placed on teeth that have undergone root canal treatment to restore their strength.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: To improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
The Crown Process:
- Consultation: We start with a thorough examination to determine if a crown is necessary and discuss your options.
- Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown, and any decay is removed.
- Impressions: Molds of your teeth are taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown may be placed while your permanent one is being fabricated.
- Fitting and Bonding: Once ready, we will place the crown and make any necessary adjustments before permanently bonding it in place.
Benefits of Dental Crowns:
- Restoration of Function: Crowns allow you to eat and speak normally without discomfort.
- Durability: With proper care, crowns can last many years, making them a long-lasting solution.
- Natural Appearance: Crowns can be designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless look.
- Protection: They provide added strength to weakened teeth, preventing further damage.
At cUsmile Dental Care Centre, our goal is to provide you with high-quality dental crowns that restore your smile and oral health.
