What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is also known as a cap. It is a type of restoration most used to treat a severely damaged or decayed tooth. Crowns work by enclosing the entire tooth down to the gumline. Traditional crowns are designed to protect one tooth at a time from further damage, decay, or re-infection.
While these restorations come in various materials, we provide you with versatile options. These include crowns crafted from durable porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, and metal. Our team understands the importance of preserving your natural beauty and confidence, especially after receiving dental treatment. We take time to custom design your crown, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
How Do They Work?
Our team offers dental crowns in Southfield as a single service or we can add them into a comprehensive treatment plan. We can treat a wide range of issues involving dental health, function, and appeal. These restorations can:
- Strengthen a weak or worn tooth
- Restore a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
- Attach and support a dental bridge
- Protect a tooth after root canal therapy
- Protect a tooth after removing decay
- Replace a missing tooth along with a dental implant
- Enhance the shape and shade of a tooth
Dental Crowns for Root Canal Therapy
When infection jeopardizes the health of your tooth, our dentist may recommend root canal therapy. We place dental crowns to protect teeth after RCT, whether our dentist or a local endodontist performs the treatment. Dr. Hines does most root canal treatments here in our office, but more complex cases are referred to a specialist.
Treating Dental Emergencies with Crowns
Common dental emergencies involve significant damage, infection, or decay. For many of these situations, we may recommend a crown to protect your tooth. If you experience an accident or injury, our team can restore your smile quickly and effectively with a crown.
Crown Lengthening & Dental Crowns
Just because a tooth requires restoration doesn’t mean natural aesthetics should be compromised. Our dentist performs crown lengthening procedures using laser technology in conjunction with your restoration. With this treatment, she can contour your gum tissue to ensure uniformity after crown placement.
Receiving Dental Crowns in Southfield
Getting a crown often requires two visits. Your first appointment typically involves a detailed consultation, exam, and a series of x-rays. We perform these essential steps to fully understand your situation, determine your needs, and provide an accurate diagnosis.
If a crown is your best option, we’ll use our digital scanners to create computerized impressions of your smile. Our dentist sends your images to a trusted local lab that crafts and completes your custom crown in about 10 to 14 days. Dr. Hines can recommend ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, or a zirconia crown depending on your case.
Once ready, we place your new restoration at your second appointment. Our dentist ensures a proper bite and comfortable fit so that you can leave with renewed dental health and confidence.
