Dental crowns are a versatile and effective solution for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. At Smile Design Dental Studio, we offer high-quality crowns that are custom designed to fit comfortably and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. A crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, is placed over a tooth to restore its strength, size and appearance.
Dental crowns can protect and restore teeth that are cracked, decayed or severely worn down. The process typically includes the following steps:
- Initial Examination: Dr. Franklyn Aguebor will evaluate your tooth to determine if a crown is the best solution for you.
- Preparation: The tooth is carefully reshaped to make room for the crown. Impressions are then taken to ensure a precise fit.
- Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, our dentist will place it over your tooth, ensuring a perfect fit and bite. The crown is then permanently bonded to the tooth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
