A Personalized Dental Crown Approach In Maple Grove, Minnesota
When a tooth is cracked, decayed, or damaged, a dental crown may be needed to be fitted onto the tooth. A dental tooth crown permanently covers or caps a filling or a dental implant, or even encircles it, protecting the viable tooth structure beneath it. Dental crowns can be made of porcelain, gold (other metals), acrylic resin, an amalgam (mixture) of these materials. Porcelain dental crowns tend to have the most realistic appearance.
Every patient is different and Minneapolis dentist Dr. Sledd and our staff will spend time with you to understand your unique situation and help you determine the best tooth crown material for your smile. Factors that may affect the material selection for your dental crown include age, health concerns, overall oral health, etc. What is important (and comforting) to note here is that Dr. Sledd and the Arbor Lakes Dental staff in Maple Grove take these considerations regarding your dental crown(s) seriously and will help you make the best decisions regarding your oral health and appearance.
The Tooth Crown Procedure
The dental crown procedure normally requires at least two appointments—one to take molds to aid in the custom tooth crown creation, and one to apply or bond it to the tooth structure or dental implant. Dr. Sledd and the Arbor Lakes Dental staff go to great lengths to ensure that your dental crown fits perfectly and that it provides an optimal permanent chewing surface. Shortly after the tooth crown is placed, most patients don’t even notice it and carry on with their normal daily activities with no issues.
Dental crowns can whiten, reshape, and realign existing teeth—adding to a healthy and vibrant smile! Our patients have been delighted with their new dental crowns and the freedom from discomfort, embarrassment and worry they offer.
