Dental Crowns

Our restorative dentistry services were created to ensure that we can help patients restore their smiles when something goes wrong. A common dental concern that we treat in our office is dental damage.

Dental damage can be anything from a minor chip to a deep crack that threatens to cause pain or discomfort.

While some dental damages can be remedied using cosmetic dentistry services, others threaten the functionality of your smile. When this occurs, our doctors will suggest a dental crown to save a damaged tooth. Learn more about dental crowns below.

The dental crown procedure may require multiple appointments depending on the severity of your dental damage. We will need to shave down the affected tooth to its foundational core. The foundational core will support the custom dental crown once it has been created. We will provide you with a temporary crown to wear until the permanent crown is complete. Once the permanent crown is created by our labs, we will call you back in to permanently attach the crown using dental cement. Dental crowns require extensive enamel removal, meaning your tooth will need to be numbed to ensure you do not experience pain or discomfort. Talk to our doctors about your sedation dentistry options if you are anxious regarding the dental crown procedure.

With dental crowns, our experienced dentists in Miami, FL can create beautiful smiles. These crowns can repair damaged teeth, improve their functionalities and make them look appealing. Dental crowns are quite sturdy in nature, and they offer several other benefits like:

They can help in saving teeth that are severely damaged. Sometimes due to trauma or decay, teeth become so weak that dentists are left with only two options: extractions or dental crowns. The latter helps in saving your natural teeth.

If you have a history of cavities on the same teeth for many times, using the crown can be a great option. It works as a barrier between the impacted tooth and the rest of the mouth- it helps prevent the bacteria from spreading.

Crowns are sturdy and more durable than fillings or inlays and onlays. It can last for many years.
