Dental CrownsIn Miromar Lakes
Dental crowns are a versatile and essential treatment option available at Neomar Family and Implant Dentistry in Fort Myers. These custom-made caps are designed to fit over a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, size, and function. Whether you're dealing with a weakened tooth following a root canal, or you need to cover a dental implant, crowns provide the strength and aesthetic appeal you need.
Why Should I Get Dental Crowns?
Getting dental crowns is a wise choice for anyone looking to protect and enhance their dental health. Crowns serve as a robust solution for teeth that have been significantly weakened by decay or have undergone a root canal procedure. They act like a shield, preventing further damage and preserving the tooth’s structure. Additionally, crowns are an excellent cosmetic option, improving the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.
The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Protection and Strength
Dental crowns provide unparalleled protection for compromised teeth. They encapsulate the entire visible portion of a tooth, effectively shielding it from further decay or damage. This is especially beneficial for teeth that have undergone root canals, as they are more susceptible to fractures.
Enhanced Aesthetics
One of the standout benefits of dental crowns is their ability to enhance the appearance of your teeth. Whether you have a chipped, cracked, or severely discolored tooth, crowns can transform your smile. Made from high-quality materials like porcelain, they mimic the natural translucency and color of your teeth, ensuring a harmonious look.
Durability and Longevity
Dental crowns are renowned for their durability and longevity. When properly cared for, they can last for many years, making them a cost-effective solution for dental restoration. Crowns are designed to withstand the daily pressures of chewing and biting, providing you with a long-lasting solution that doesn’t compromise on function.
The Dental Crown Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The dental crown process begins with a thorough consultation and assessment with Dr. William J. Garcia. During this visit, he will evaluate the condition of your tooth and discuss your treatment goals. X-rays may be taken to assess the tooth's root and surrounding bone structure. This step is crucial in determining whether a crown is the best solution for your dental needs. Dr. Garcia will explain the procedure in detail, addressing any concerns you may have and ensuring you feel comfortable and informed.
Tooth Preparation and Impression
Once the decision to proceed with a dental crown is made, the tooth is prepared to accommodate the crown. This involves removing a small amount of the tooth's outer surface to make room for the crown. After preparation, an impression of your tooth is taken to create a model for the custom crown. This impression is sent to a dental lab where skilled technicians craft your crown to precise specifications. A temporary crown may be placed to protect your tooth until the permanent one is ready.
Crown Placement
When your custom crown is ready, you will return to Neomar Family and Implant Dentistry for the final placement. Dr. Garcia will carefully remove the temporary crown and check the fit and color of the permanent crown. Once both you and Dr. Garcia are satisfied with the fit and appearance, the crown is permanently cemented onto your tooth. This step is completed with precision to ensure that the crown functions like a natural tooth, restoring your smile and confidence.
