Strengthen and Restore Your Smile With Dental Crowns
When a tooth becomes weak, worn, or damaged, it can make chewing and smiling uncomfortable. Dental crowns provide a reliable way to restore your tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance. At Willow Street Dental, we design custom crowns that blend naturally with your other teeth—so your smile looks and feels complete again.
A dental crown acts as a protective “cap” that covers the visible part of your tooth. It reinforces the tooth’s structure, improves its function, and enhances its overall look. Each crown is crafted to match your natural tooth color and deliver long-lasting durability.
When is a Dental Crown Needed?
Your dentist may suggest a dental crown if you have:
- A cracked, fractured, or broken tooth
- A large filling that requires added protection
- A tooth that’s worn down or weakened
- A misshapen or discolored tooth
- A tooth that’s been treated with a root canal
- A dental implant that needs a top restoration
Dental crowns not only restore strength and appearance but also help prevent further damage, preserving your natural smile for years to come.
What to Expect During the Dental Crown Process
Getting a crown is a simple and comfortable procedure that typically takes two visits. Here’s what happens step by step:
Evaluation and Preparation
Your dentist examines the affected tooth to ensure a crown is the right solution. The tooth is then reshaped carefully to make room for the crown.
Impressions
A precise impression of your tooth is taken to create a perfect fit. This is sent to a dental lab where your custom crown is made. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth until the final one is ready.
Placement of the Permanent Crown
During your second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and your permanent one is checked for fit, color, and comfort. Once everything looks right, it’s securely bonded in place.
Finishing Touches
The dentist makes final adjustments to ensure a balanced bite and natural feel. Your new crown is now complete—strong, beautiful, and ready to function like a real tooth.
