Crowns

Some of the reasons you might need a tooth crown include:

• Large broken down dental filling
• Extensive dental decay
• Cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
• Discolored tooth
• Broken or fractured teeth
• Cosmetic enhancement
• Fillings that are too large
• Tooth with poor size or shape
• Teeth with root canal treatment

A dental crown will enhance the appearance of the damaged tooth. More importantly, a dental crown will restore the tooth’s natural function. Your tooth crown will enable you to bite down, chew, and speak naturally.

Porcelain is the most lifelike material that can be used to fashion dental crowns. Your front teeth are crucial to your overall appearance. If your front tooth needs a tooth crown, we will use the most natural, beautiful, durable and translucent porcelain!

Crowns are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced.

Dr Suresh Patel will discuss your needs and goals with you. He will determine if porcelain crowns are the proper cosmetic dentistry treatment for you.

At the first appointment, Dr Patel will prepare the teeth for the crown by removing a small portion of the tooth enamel.

Dr Patel will take Digital scan impressions of the prepared teeth and send the impressions to the dental lab.

He will then place temporary dental crowns while you wait for your permanent porcelain crowns to be complete. This typically can take one to two weeks.

At the second visit, Dr Patel will permanently bond your beautiful new dental crowns directly to your teeth.
