What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns cover single teeth like caps to add structure to worn and damaged teeth. We often recommend a dental crown if you have a large dental filling, a worn tooth, or a fractured tooth. Dental crowns can also secure traditional dental bridges or cover single dental implants.
Dr. Yaldo works with dental laboratories to provide dental crown treatment for patients in his local dental office. Dental crowns restore tooth function and create more stable and aesthetically pleasing smiles. Dr. Yaldo also provides additional restorative dentistry treatments to patients in Keego Harbor, MI.
Why Do I Need A Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are versatile treatments that can fix many tooth problems, including health-related and appearance-related. We custom create the crowns making them a great choice for fixing both dental health problems and cosmetic concerns. Dr. Yaldo will suggest you get a tooth crown to help with:
- Broken or cracked teeth: Crowns can cover and protect teeth that have been damaged.
- Large cavities: When a tooth has a big cavity that’s too large for a regular filling, a crown can save the tooth.
- Weak teeth: Crowns can strengthen teeth that are at risk of breaking.
- Worn-down teeth: If teeth are very worn from grinding or acid erosion, crowns can restore their shape and function.
- Discolored teeth: Crowns can cover teeth with bad stains that do not respond to tooth whitening treatments.
- Misshapen teeth: If you have teeth that are oddly shaped, crowns can make them look more normal.
- After a root canal: Teeth that have had root canal treatment often need crowns to protect them.
To hold a dental bridge: Crowns can support a bridge that replaces missing teeth. - Cosmetic improvement: Crowns can improve the overall look of your smile. We can use them to change the shape, size, or color of teeth.
- To cover a dental implant: We will use a crown to the replace the visible part of a tooth by securing it to a dental implants.
Dental Crown Treatment in Keego Harbor, MI
Dr. Yaldo works with dental laboratories to create custom dental crowns. First, Dr. Yaldo will take X-rays to locate the teeth that require treatment. He will prepare the teeth for crowns by removing a small portion of the enamel. Etching into the enamel shapes the tooth to ensure the crown adheres properly and looks natural.
Dr. Yaldo will take dental impressions of the treated tooth or teeth. Then, Dr. Yaldo sends these impressions to a dental lab, where technicians create crowns from porcelain materials.
In the meantime, Dr. Yaldo will provide a temporary crown. Once the permanent crown is complete, Dr. Yaldo will remove the temporary crown and ensure that the permanent crown is in the correct shape and shade. Then, he will cement the crown on the tooth and polish the crowns for a natural sheen.
