Porcelain crowns for a complete and restored stunning smile

Dcay or injury can cause dental damage and compromise their ability to chew. More so, damaged teeth don’t look good, which can affect your overall appearance. Dental crowns can shore up compromised teeth to restore your dental health and appearance.

Dental crowns installed by Drs. Daniel Cobb, Anne Starkey, and Lance Rose seamlessly blend with your tooth — it can be difficult knowing where the crown ends and the tooth starts. So, if you have damaged a few or more teeth, there is no need to be embarrassed. Please book an appointment with Alex Bell Dental for well-fitting dental crowns.

The many functions of a dental crown

Over time, your teeth can take a beating from injuries, decay, and general wear and tear. Instead of living with a less-than-perfect tooth, we can crown your tooth to prevent further damage. A dental crown restores your tooth to its original shape, size, and color.

Besides restoring damaged teeth, our dentists may recommend a crown to:

• Aesthetically improve a stubbornly stained tooth
• Top off a dental implant
• Anchor a dental bridge in place
• Replace an old or worn-out filling

Unlike dental veneers that cover the front part of your teeth, a dental crown is a whole-tooth restoration that restores your tooth to its original strength, if not better. Besides, modern dental crowns are tooth-colored to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

The dental crown process

No one likes being hustled down in a dental chair without prior preparation. Away from the dental chair, we first have a one-on-one conversation with you to discuss your current smile and what you would want to change. We put all the options on the table and help you decide on the best choice.

If we find dental crowns suitable for you, we explain the entire procedure beforehand to manage your expectations. Then we start the treatment by numbing your mouth. Comfort is at the heart of everything we do; that’s why we have invested in state-of-the-art technologies to ensure pain-free dentistry with an outstanding outcome.

After numbing your mouth, we start the tooth preparation process. Here, we remove the decayed part and then file down and reshape your tooth to create space for a crown. We then take your bite impressions, which the lab technician will use to custom-make your dental crown.

Your dental crown may take a few weeks to be ready. Meanwhile, we install a temporary crown to protect your smile. Once your crown is ready, you will book another appointment with us. We make a few adjustments to your crown and then use dental cement to bond it to your tooth.

Benefits of dental crowns
