Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are a reliable and versatile solution for restoring the health, function, and appearance of damaged or compromised teeth. Whether your tooth has been weakened by decay, fractured from an injury, or needs support after a root canal, crowns can provide a durable and natural-looking restoration.
If you’ve been experiencing discomfort or have concerns about a damaged tooth, dental crowns may be the ideal solution to protect your oral health. At Floss & Co., we specialize in creating custom dental crowns that are designed to fit comfortably and seamlessly with your smile. By using advanced techniques and high-quality materials, we help ensure your crown restores both the strength and beauty of your tooth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the visible part of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. Crowns are often used when a tooth is too damaged or weak to be repaired with a filling. They are designed to mimic the look and function of a natural tooth, making them a popular choice for both restorative and cosmetic dentistry. At Floss & Co., we craft crowns that are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring they match the color and shape of your natural teeth for a flawless finish.
There are many situations where a dental crown may be recommended. Common reasons include protecting a tooth weakened by decay or cracking, restoring a broken tooth, or capping a tooth after a root canal to prevent it from becoming brittle. Crowns can also enhance the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth. Depending on your specific case, materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal may be used to create your crown. Each material offers unique benefits, and our team will work with you to determine the best option for your oral health and lifestyle.
Breaking Down the Dental Crown Process
Getting a dental crown at Floss & Co. is a straightforward process designed to prioritize your comfort and ensure a perfect fit. The journey begins with an initial consultation, where we’ll evaluate the condition of your tooth and discuss your treatment options. If a crown is recommended, the tooth will be carefully prepared, which involves removing any damaged or decayed portions to create a solid foundation. We’ll then take a precise impression of your tooth, which will be sent to a dental lab to create your custom crown.
While your permanent crown is being fabricated, you’ll receive a temporary crown to protect your tooth in the meantime. Once your permanent crown is ready, we’ll bond it securely to your tooth, ensuring it fits perfectly and aligns with your bite. This final step is key to achieving a natural feel and appearance, so we’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort. With the crown in place, your tooth will be stronger, more functional, and ready to support your everyday activities, from chewing to smiling with confidence.
How to Care for Your Dental Crown
By practicing good oral hygiene—brushing twice a day, flossing regularly, and visiting Floss & Co. for routine cleanings—you can keep your crown in great condition for years to come. It’s also important to avoid biting down on extremely hard or sticky foods, as these could cause damage to your crown or the tooth underneath. Treat your crown as you would your natural teeth to help maintain its durability and appearance.
Additionally, if you grind or clench your teeth at night, wearing a custom night guard can protect your crown from unnecessary wear or damage. Crowns are designed to last many years, but regular dental check-ups allow us to monitor their condition and address any issues early. With the proper care, your dental crown can continue to function and look just like a natural tooth, helping you maintain a strong, healthy, and beautiful smile.
