Strengthen Your Smile for the Future with Dental Crown Treatment

It’s hard to imagine having a strong, attractive smile when your teeth are weak, worn, or damaged. That’s where dental crowns come in. Crowning compromised teeth will make them stronger and more aesthetically pleasing. Dental crowns from Park Avenue Dental can boost the quality and integrity of your smile to keep it going strong for the future. Dr. Mary Taudel is your go-to dentist for dental crowns in the New York area.

Process for Getting a Crown

Crowns are hollow caps placed over existing teeth to repair and restore their structure. The process for getting a crown generally takes at least two dental visits. Your initial visit is a consultation to assess the damage and confirm that a crown is the right restorative treatment for you. The next step is reshaping your tooth to make room for a crown. As porcelain crowns are custom-made, we’ll take impressions of your tooth on the same visit and send them to a lab to create your crown. In the meantime, your tooth will be fitted with a temporary crown. Once your porcelain crown is ready, Dr. Taudel will schedule a second visit to replace the temporary crown with the permanent porcelain crown and bond it in place. Your tooth will then be fully restored and ready to use. 

There are multiple reasons for crowning a tooth. Here are just a few:

• To Restore Compromised Teeth  
  One of the main jobs of a crown is restoring compromised teeth. This could be severely decayed teeth, cracked or broken teeth, or teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. A crown will cover your tooth in its entirety, concealing all damage and renewing its structure for biting and chewing. Placing crowns on decayed or damaged teeth restores their functionality for the future.
• To Improve Your Smile’s Appearance 
  Teeth that are chipped, discolored, misshapen, or irregularly sized can detract from your smile’s appearance. Cosmetic crowns can conceal these flaws to make your smile more aesthetically pleasing. Porcelain and ceramic crowns can be customized to match the physical features of your natural teeth down to their color and sheen. Natural-looking crowns can improve your smile’s symmetry, balance, and esthetic appeal.   
• To Strengthen Your Teeth 
  Dental crowns give you stronger, healthier teeth that can endure well into the future. Crowning vulnerable teeth helps extend their lifespan to keep you smiling for years. Metal crowns are the strongest but could be more aesthetically pleasing. They’re great at strengthening cracked or broken back teeth to boost your chewing power. Porcelain fused to metal crowns adds strength and beauty to your smile. They can be used on your front or back teeth to fortify your grin.
