Crowns
Dental Crowns, also known as caps, are custom-designed restorations used to cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. They serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, restoring the tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance. Dental Crowns are crafted from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Key Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental Crowns offer several essential benefits:
- Restoration of Tooth Function: Crowns are designed to restore the tooth’s functionality, allowing you to chew and speak with confidence.
- Protection for Weakened Teeth: They provide a protective shield for teeth that have undergone extensive dental work or have suffered from decay.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Crowns are customized to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s appearance.
Same Day Crowns
We use advanced digital scanning and 3D printing technology to create custom dental crowns in a single visit. With precise imaging, we design a crown that fits your tooth perfectly, eliminating the need for messy impressions or multiple appointments. If needed, our specialists can also perform gentle gum contouring to ensure the crown sits seamlessly and enhances your smile’s overall appearance. Our in-office milling and 3D printing systems allow us to craft strong, natural-looking crowns on the spot, so you can leave with a restored smile the very same day.
