What are Dental Crowns and Why You Might Need One?

Crowns are commonly used to protect weak teeth, cover large fillings, restore broken teeth, or after a root canal treatment.

The Dental Crown Procedure: What to Expect

Getting a dental crown usually requires two visits. During the first appointment, we will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth until the permanent crown is ready. In the second visit, we will bond the permanent crown securely to your tooth.

If you’re considering other cosmetic options, such as veneers, we can discuss the best solutions during your consultation.

Post-Treatment Care for Your Dental Crown

Caring for your new crown is simple—maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing, and attending regular dental check-ups. Avoid hard foods that can damage your crown. For comprehensive care tips, our patient resources provide valuable information to help you maintain your crown and overall dental health.
