Dealing with a damaged tooth that's impacting your smile and self-confidence? Dental crowns could be the right solution for you! Dental crowns are a dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. They are typically used when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth. Crowns are custom-made to fit over your entire tooth, from the gum lineup, providing you with a natural, long-lasting solution for damaged or decayed teeth.
Why Should I Get Dental Crowns?
If you're dealing with a weak or damaged tooth, a dental crown can provide the strength and protection your tooth needs to function properly. Dental crowns not only restore the functionality of your tooth, but they also improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile. They are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, making them a discreet solution for a range of dental problems. Whether you're dealing with a large cavity, a cracked tooth, or you're in need of a root canal, a dental crown can provide the restoration you need to eat, smile, and speak with confidence again.

The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Improved Aesthetic Appearance
One of the major benefits of dental crowns is that they help improve the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. If you're self-conscious about your smile because of a damaged or decayed tooth, a dental crown can restore your confidence. They are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, so no one will even know you have a crown unless you tell them.
Long-Lasting Solution
Dental crowns are designed to last. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, your dental crown can last up to 15 years or more. This makes them a cost-effective solution for long-term oral health. Plus, they're resistant to staining and decay, so you can enjoy a bright, healthy smile for years to come.
Restored Tooth Function
A damaged tooth can make it difficult to eat or speak properly. Dental crowns restore the function of your tooth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and speak clearly without discomfort or difficulty. Plus, because they're so durable, you don't have to worry about your crown chipping or breaking.
The Dental Crowns Treatment Process
Examination and Preparation
The first step in the dental crown process is a thorough examination and preparation of the tooth. Dr. Kallianpur will examine your tooth to determine the extent of the damage and whether a crown is the best solution. If a crown is recommended, the tooth will be filed down to make room for the crown.
Impression Making
Once your tooth has been prepared, an impression of your tooth will be made. This impression will be used to create your custom crown, ensuring it fits perfectly over your tooth and blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Crown Placement
The final step in the process is the placement of the crown. Once your custom crown is ready, it will be placed over your prepared tooth and cemented in place. This completes the restoration, leaving you with a strong, healthy, and beautiful tooth.
