Renew Your Smile with Dental Crowns
Does your tooth need a little rehab? It’s not uncommon for teeth to become worn, cracked, or misshapen, but a simple crown can make them look and feel new again. At Peppermint Dental & Orthodontics, we’ll expertly cover your existing tooth with a new outer surface that’s strong, cavity resistant, and matches your other teeth.
Crowns are ideal for teeth that:
- Have been weakened by tooth decay
- Cannot hold a filling
- Have undergone a root canal procedure
Call to schedule an assessment at Peppermint Dental & Orthodontics today. Together, we’ll determine if saving or improving your tooth with a crown is your best option.
You don’t have to live compensating for a tooth that’s not quite right. Our team will help restore your best bite, jaw, and smile function.
What is the purpose of Dental Crowns?
There are multiple benefits to getting a new dental crown. One main reason is if a tooth is cracked, fractured, or broken. Another reason is if you have had a recent root canal, which can weaken the tooth. Additionally, if a tooth has a large filling or deep decay, crowning it can provide protection and restoration.
Who is eligible to receive Dental Crowns?
Our team will evaluate your teeth to see if a crown is needed. If a crown is recommended, it is best to schedule treatment promptly to prevent further damage to the tooth. If you need a replacement crown, we can easily take care of that in our office. Our skilled dental professionals can place crowns on any tooth that needs to be restored.
What happens during a Dental Crown procedure?
To start the crown procedure, we will first administer a local anesthetic to numb the area in your mouth. This will ensure a comfortable experience during your appointment. The tooth will then be carefully filed down to make room for the crown. Impressions will be taken to create a custom-made crown. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled for the final placement of the crown. Rest assured, the crown will not only enhance your smile but also last for years to come.
