Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a versatile and long-lasting solution for restoring damaged teeth. Our skilled dentist may recommend a crown to help you regain your smile as well as your oral health and to help you avoid the need for a tooth extraction.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, or caps, are multipurpose restorations. They are typically recommended for teeth that are significantly damaged or decayed, and work to restore the strength, function and appearance of the tooth as well as protect it from sustaining any additional damage. Your crown will cover your entire tooth, from the gumline to the tips of the chewing surface, and will be designed to fit your tooth and your smile perfectly.

Crowns may be made of several materials, such as gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal. Porcelain is especially popular, as it matches the natural color and feel of your teeth and will last for many years.

The Dental Crown Process

Most dental crowns can be completed in two visits to Unicare Center for Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry. At the first appointment, our dentist will take impressions and prepare your tooth to receive the crown. A temporary crown may be placed to protect your tooth while you wait for the final crown to be completed. When you return for your second appointment, our dentist will check that the crown fits correctly before bonding it into place. You can then leave our office with a renewed smile!
