A dental crown is a permanent covering that fits over an original tooth when it’s decayed, damaged or cracked and a filling isn’t enough to repair it. It protects and strengthens the tooth and restores it to its natural appearance. Crowns are made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, gold, acrylic resin or a mix of materials. Whichever option you choose, at Naperville Dental Specialists, we’ll ensure your crown is functional and seamlessly blends in with the rest of your smile.
Treatment Considerations
The crown process typically takes two to three visits over three to four weeks. The procedure involves:
When the procedure is finished, proper dental hygiene, including brushing and flossing daily, is necessary to maintain healthy, bacteria-free teeth and gums. When cared for properly, your crowns can last a lifetime.
Expert Guidance
There are a variety of factors that will help us determine the best choice of material (porcelain, gold, acrylic resin, etc.) for your crown. For example, while porcelain often looks the most natural, it may not be the most durable for teeth that withstand a lot of chewing forces on a daily basis. Your Naperville cosmetic dentist will give you expert advice to help you decide on the right solution for your needs and smile.
