You know that sinking feeling when you bite down, and something just doesn’t feel right? Maybe it’s a natural tooth that’s been chipped, cracked, or weakened over time. Every time you chew, smile, or even speak, it’s a frustrating reminder that something in your mouth isn’t quite how it should be. Whether it’s from an accident, decay, or wear and tear, a damaged tooth can make daily life uncomfortable. That’s where dental crowns come in — to restore function and bring back confidence in your smile.
At SmileWorks, our advanced technology ensures your dental crowns fit precisely and look natural. Whether you are dealing with a tooth weakened by extensive decay or one that needs reinforcement after a root canal treatment, our team is here to provide you with a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. With our commitment to patient care and our use of state-of-the-art techniques, we can help you get back to smiling confidently in no time.
Dental crowns are custom-made, tooth-shaped caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth. They provide the necessary strength to protect the affected tooth while restoring its original shape and appearance.
Think of a crown as a protective shield designed to restore both the strength and appearance of a tooth that has been compromised. Once placed, the crown acts like a new outer layer, bringing back the tooth’s original appearance, shape, and function. Crowns are also used in dental implant procedures to replace missing teeth.
Crafted from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, and metal, dental crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are meticulously shaped and colored to match your existing teeth, ensuring a natural look.
Dental crowns come in various materials, each offering distinct advantages depending on your specific needs. Each type of crown has its unique benefits, and at SmileWorks, we will help you choose which is right for you based on your dental needs and personal preferences.
Porcelain crowns are an excellent choice for front teeth due to their natural appearance. They are crafted to mimic the translucence and shade of real teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth. All porcelain crowns are popular for those who prioritize aesthetics. These crowns are particularly effective in restoring teeth and addressing dental concerns related to appearance.
Ceramic crowns are similar to porcelain in appearance and are highly resistant to wear and staining. They are biocompatible, making them an excellent choice for those with metal allergies. These all-ceramic crowns provide both strength and beauty and are often used for visible teeth that require durability.
Metal crowns are known for their durability and longevity. Made from gold, palladium, or base metal alloys, they can withstand heavy biting forces, making them ideal for molars. While some may perceive them as less visually appealing due to their metallic color, metal crowns are incredibly sturdy and can last for many years. Metal crowns are an excellent option for patients who want to prioritize maintaining a strong bite.
PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain. The metal base ensures durability, while the porcelain outer layer blends with your natural teeth. This type is a solid choice for both front and back teeth, balancing aesthetics and strength. PFM crowns are ideal for patients looking to restore teeth without compromising durability.
Resin crowns are more affordable but may not be as durable as porcelain or metal. They can wear down over time and are more prone to chipping. However, they can still be a viable option for temporary crowns or those seeking a more budget-friendly solution.
At SmileWorks, we use the latest technology for dental crown procedures. Our team utilizes 3D scanners and printers to create custom-fit crowns with remarkable accuracy, ensuring your crown fits perfectly and looks and feels like a natural part of your smile.
The dental crown procedure involves preparing the affected tooth, taking impressions, and creating a custom dental crown that matches your natural tooth color. We often use temporary crowns made from resin or other materials to protect the prepared tooth while the permanent crown is crafted in the dental lab. Once your custom dental crown is ready, it is cemented onto your prepared tooth with dental cement, restoring its function and appearance.
Every patient is unique, and we believe your treatment should be, too. We take the time to understand your needs and goals, tailoring our approach to create a plan that works best for you. Whether you are concerned about aesthetics, tooth pain, or long-term durability, we have options to suit every preference.
We know dental work can be stressful for some, which is why we provide a welcoming and relaxed environment. The SmileWorks team is led by experienced professionals who take pride in ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in your care. Our friendly staff and modern facilities help put you at ease from the moment you walk in.
