At Clove DDS in Riverpark, we specialize in providing top-quality dental crown services to help you restore your smile and protect your oral health. Whether you’re dealing with damaged teeth, severe decay, or want to enhance the appearance of your smile, our dental crowns offer the perfect solution. Let us help you achieve a smile that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, decayed, or aesthetically compromised tooth. Crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal, crowns are designed to mimic the look and function of a natural tooth. They not only restore the tooth's structure but also protect it from further damage.

At Clove DDS, we offer a range of crown materials to suit your needs, ensuring a natural and long-lasting result. Dental crowns can also be used in conjunction with other restorative treatments, such as root canals or dental implants.

Signs You Might Need a Dental Crown

It’s not always obvious when you might require a dental crown, but here are some common signs to look out for:
  1. Cracked or Fractured Teeth: A dental crown can protect and restore the function of a tooth with a significant crack or fracture.
  2. Severe Tooth Decay: When a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown can provide the necessary strength and coverage.
  3. Discolored or Misshapen Teeth: Crowns are an excellent option for improving the appearance of teeth that are stained or irregularly shaped.
  4. Post-Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a crown is often used to protect the tooth and restore its full functionality.
  5. Worn Down Teeth: Teeth that have been worn down due to grinding (bruxism) or other factors may benefit from the added support of a crown.
  6. Dental Implants: Crowns are used as the visible portion of a dental implant to complete the restoration.

 

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, schedule a consultation at Clove DDS to determine if a dental crown is right for you.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown typically involves two appointments at our Riverpark office. Here’s what you can expect:
  1. Initial Consultation:
    • During your first visit, we will examine your teeth and discuss your concerns.
    • X-rays may be taken to assess the condition of the affected tooth and surrounding structures.
    • Once we determine that a crown is the best solution, we’ll prepare your tooth for the crown placement.
  2. Tooth Preparation:
    • The tooth will be reshaped to create space for the crown.
    • If necessary, decay or damage will be removed, and the tooth will be reinforced with a filling material.
  3. Impressions:
    • An impression of your tooth will be taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
    • You may receive a temporary crown to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated.
  4. Crown Placement:
    • At your second appointment, the permanent crown will be fitted and adjusted for comfort and alignment.
    • Once you’re satisfied with the fit, the crown will be bonded securely to your tooth.

Our team at Clove DDS will ensure that your procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible, using advanced techniques and modern materials.
