A sudden cracked or broken tooth can really put a damper on your day! The good news is that a tooth crown is the perfect solution to restore your tooth and protect your smile, and Dr. Mike and his team can help you regain your smile quickly with same-day crowns.
Here's what you should know about dental crowns and their benefits for your smile.
#1 Dental Crowns Protect Your Natural Tooth
A porcelain crown is shaded and shaped to closely mimic your own natural tooth. It fits over your healthy remaining tooth structure like a cap, so you'll still enjoy the integrity of your natural tooth and root.
#2 Porcelain Crowns Provide Durability and Function
Dr. Mike designs your crown here in our Centennial dental office, so he can make adjustments to the shade and fit as needed and ensure that you receive a quality restoration that meets his standards.
Your crown is durable and provides all the chewing function you had with your natural tooth while also complementing your smile with its aesthetics.
#3 Same-Day Crowns in Centennial Restore Your Tooth with No Waiting Time
Innovative CEREC technology allows Dr. Mike and his team to design, fabricate, and permanently place a new tooth crown in one simple appointment. This is especially helpful for patients in an emergency situation.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Dr. Mike would typically recommend a porcelain crown for these situations:
- For a cracked, fractured, or severely broken tooth
- For a tooth with a broken or lost restoration - like a filling or previous crown
- To strengthen a tooth treated with a root canal
- For cosmetic purposes to cover an oddly shaped, broken, or discolored tooth
A dental crown is also the perfect restoration for a single-tooth implant.
