Dental Crowns provide the perfect, long-lasting solution to strengthen cracked, chipped or damaged teeth. Crowns can be used for any tooth shape from front incisors to molars. Crowns can even be used to improve the look of worn, misshapen or crooked teeth. Think of your new crown as a cover or “cap” that improves the look of your problem tooth.
Our dentists may recommend a crown for various dental issues, including:
Additionally, crowns can support certain dental bridges and partial dentures. In some cases, our dentists may recommend an implant-supported crown.
During your crown consultation, your dentist will take comprehensive X-rays and intraoral images. They will then create a 3D model of your teeth using state-of-the-art digital mapping technology. Finally, a beautiful, color-matched crown will be crafted using our revolutionary CEREC system.
In most cases, you can receive your new crown in just one appointment without the need for a temporary crown. Once ready, your beautiful new crown will be securely bonded to your tooth with a strong dental bonding cement. It’s that easy!
Watch Dr. Pagniano explain our revolutionary same-day crown process.
At Dublin Dental Care, we mainly use porcelain crowns. Porcelain crowns are extremely strong and provide the high compression strength required to hold up to the pressure of a bite. Porcelain also gives our dentists the flexibility to perfectly match your tooth color.
Even though they are incredibly strong, your new crown is not indestructible. And, just like your regular teeth, the crown will be susceptible to cracking, chipping or grinding. Which is why your dentist may recommend a custom night guard.
There is no special maintenance to care for your new crown. Simply follow good brushing and flossing habits as you normally would. It is also recommended that you avoid chewing extremely hard or sticky foods.
Even though your crown is cemented in with extremely strong material, in rare cases they sometimes become loose or fall out. If this happens, it is a simple procedure to have one of our dentists receament the crown.
Dublin Dental Care is one of the few offices in the Columbus area that has invested in CEREC 3D technology, allowing us to provide same-day crowns. While there may be rare situations requiring two appointments, most of the time we can complete your crown in a single visit—saving you time and minimizing disruptions to your work and family life!
Additionally, our dentists are highly trained in the creation and placement of crowns, bridges, dentures, and other restorative devices. When you trust your smile to Dublin Dental Care, you can be confident that we are dedicated to restoring your beautiful smile. Schedule your consultation today!
