Are you experiencing tooth pain and sensitivity, or noticing chips or cracks in your teeth? A dental crown from AVA Dental in Westfield, IN, could be the perfect solution to restore your smile's health, function, and appearance.
As part of our all-inclusive dental service selection at AVA Dental, e place dental crowns on weak or cracked teeth to strengthen them and improve their appearance. Dental onlays or crowns are available for patients who are missing one or more teeth. These restorations not only improve chewing and speech but also restore the patient’s smile. While dental bridges offer a stable alternative for filling gaps between teeth, dental implants provide a long-term, natural-looking solution that integrates with your jawbone.
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that act as a protective cover for a damaged or weakened tooth, offering strength, protection, and an improved appearance. Think of them as a protective shield for your weakened tooth.
You may need a dental crown to restore or correct:
- Weakened teeth from decay, cracks, or large fillings.
- Damaged teeth that are chipped, broken, or fractured
- Worn-down teeth from grinding or clenching.
- The appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth
Dental crowns are also often used to support a dental bridge, seal a dental implant, or complete root canal therapy.
The Dental Crown Process at AVA Dental
AVA Dental prioritizes your comfort and strive to make the crown process as smooth as possible. At your consultation, our dentists will thoroughly examine your teeth and take X-rays to assess the health of your tooth and surrounding bone. We'll discuss your options and determine if a crown is the best treatment for you.
Our dentist will reshape the tooth to accommodate the crown and, if necessary, we may build up the tooth with filling material. We'll take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom-made crown that fits perfectly, then you'll typically receive a temporary crown while your permanent crown is fabricated in a dental laboratory.
Once your permanent crown is ready, you'll return to our Westfield dental office, allowing your dentist to ensure your new crown fits perfectly and comfortably before permanently cementing it in place. At AVA Dental, we offer dental crowns crafted from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, zirconia and BruxZir, so you can select the crown that best suits your smile.
Because maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for the longevity of your dental crown, our team recommends brushing and flossing regularly, and attending your regularly scheduled dental checkups and cleanings at AVA Dental.
