Damaged teeth can interfere with your daily life, making it difficult to enjoy a full range of healthy foods or chew hard items like raw veggies and nuts. They may even impact your speech patterns and your facial appearance, especially if a damaged tooth becomes a lost tooth.
At Avondale Dental Centre, we make every effort to save every tooth possible because conservation is the best policy, and the best teeth are the natural ones. One of the most lasting options is a dental crown, which can protect and restore a tooth for fifteen years or longer.
If one of your teeth could benefit from a dental crown, our Avondale DDS is excited to share your options and other aspects of adding a tooth crown to complete your smile.
How Are Dental Crowns Made?
Dental crowns cover the entire tooth structure and protect it from the forces caused by chewing. But crowns are also made to be attractive when restoring more visible teeth. We offer this option in porcelain for a natural look, gold or metal crowns for strong molar restorations, and porcelain fused to metal that provides the best of both.
We also offer CEREC same-day dental crowns, which we design and build in our clinic. Our dentists use digital impressions and special software so that your finished crown looks just like your natural tooth but will resist decay and staining for years to come.
Does Getting a Dental Crown Hurt?
Depending on the reason you’re getting a dental crown, the procedure is usually pain-free. But if your crown is the final step of root canal therapy, you may feel some residual soreness from your past infection and its treatment.
When Dr Sinan places your crown, he will ensure that it fits ideally and feels comfortable.
