If you have a severely damaged or weakened tooth, Dr. Jacob Wood and the team at Parkway Family Dental are here to help. We offer ceramic and porcelain dental crowns to restore the health, functionality, and beauty of your smile.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown, often referred to as a “cap,” is a versatile restoration used to cover and protect a damaged tooth. Crowns restore the tooth’s strength, functionality, and appearance while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
Crowns are custom-designed to fit seamlessly with your bite and are made from high-quality materials, including:
- Porcelain: Preferred for its natural, tooth-like appearance.
- Ceramic: Another aesthetic option ideal for visible teeth.
- Gold or metal: Durable and ideal for specific cases.
Dental crowns are a common solution for a variety of restorative and cosmetic needs, including:
- Repairing broken or severely decayed teeth that cannot be treated with fillings.
- Restoring teeth after root canal therapy.
- Supporting dental bridges or covering dental implant restorations.
- Improving the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.
The Dental Crown Process
Getting a crown is a straightforward process that typically takes one or two visits:
- Initial Visit: Dr. Wood will prepare the damaged tooth by removing decay and shaping it to support the crown. Impressions will be taken to create your custom restoration and a temporary crown may be placed.
- Final Visit: Once your permanent crown is ready, it will be securely bonded to your tooth, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
At Parkway Family Dental, we prioritize your comfort and oral health. Our personalized approach ensures that every crown is tailored to your needs, providing a long-lasting solution that enhances your smile’s functionality and beauty.
