What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is like a custom-fitted cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. Think of it as a protective shield for your tooth, designed to look and feel just like the real thing. Crowns are typically made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Crowns are a versatile solution for a range of dental issues, from restoring a tooth after a root canal to covering up severe discoloration or damage. At our Oyster Bay practice, we use state-of-the-art technology to ensure your crown fits perfectly and enhances your smile’s natural beauty.

Who Makes a Good Candidate for Dental Crowns?

Wondering if a dental crown is right for you?

You might be a good candidate if you have:

A cracked or broken tooth: A crown can protect and strengthen a tooth that’s been damaged by trauma or decay.
A large filling: If your tooth has a large filling and isn’t structurally sound, a crown can provide extra support.
Severe tooth decay: Crowns can restore teeth that have been compromised by extensive decay.
A root canal-treated tooth: Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy often need crowns to prevent fractures.
Cosmetic concerns: If you have a misshapen or severely discolored tooth, a crown can improve your smile’s aesthetics.

When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Jesse and the team will take the time to evaluate your unique needs and discuss whether a crown is the best solution for you.

Types of Dental Crowns

At Precision Oyster Bay Family Dental, we offer several types of crowns:

Porcelain Crowns: These crowns are popular for their natural look and are ideal for front teeth.
Ceramic Crowns: Durable and aesthetically pleasing, ceramic crowns are perfect for those who want a metal-free option.
Metal Crowns: Made from gold or other alloys, these crowns are incredibly strong and long-lasting, often used for molars.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: These crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain.

We’ll work with you to choose the crown that best suits your smile, lifestyle, and budget.

Our Dental Crown Procedure

We know dental work can feel intimidating, but we’re here to make it as comfortable and straightforward as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you get a dental crown with us:

Consultation and Planning: We’ll discuss your concerns, take X-rays, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Tooth Preparation: We’ll gently reshape your tooth to make space for the crown. Don’t worry—we ensure you’re completely comfortable with local anesthesia.
Impressions: We take precise impressions of your tooth to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being crafted, we’ll place a temporary one to protect your tooth.
Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, we’ll make sure it fits just right before securely bonding it in place.

Before you leave, we’ll make sure everything feels right and that your smile looks fantastic.

Common Issues That Dental Crowns Can Fix

Crowns are versatile and can address a variety of dental problems, including:

Fractured or Chipped Teeth: Crowns restore the shape and integrity of damaged teeth.
Severe Decay: For teeth that can’t support a filling, crowns provide essential reinforcement.
Worn-Down Teeth: If grinding or erosion has worn down your teeth, crowns can rebuild them.
Misshapen or Discolored Teeth: Crowns can improve the appearance of teeth that don’t look their best.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer numerous benefits that go beyond just fixing a damaged tooth, including:

Restored Function: Chew and speak with ease, without worrying about discomfort or further damage.
Natural Appearance: Modern crowns are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Protection and Durability: Crowns protect vulnerable teeth and can last for many years with proper care.
More Confidence: No more hiding your smile—crowns give you the confidence to show it off.

Our patients often tell us how their new crowns have made them feel like themselves again, and we’d love to help you experience the same joy.

Dental Crown Aftercare

Taking care of your new crown is easy! Here are some tips to keep it in tip-top shape:

Brush and Floss Daily: Good oral hygiene keeps your crown and surrounding teeth healthy.
Avoid Hard Foods: Don’t chew on ice or hard candies that can damage your crown.
Regular Check-Ups: Visit us every six months so we can ensure your crown is holding up well.
Wear a Night Guard: If you grind your teeth, a night guard can protect your crown.

We’re always here to answer any questions and help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

Insurance and Payment Options for Dental Crowns

We know cost is a big consideration, and we’re here to make things as simple and transparent as possible. Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost for crowns when they’re medically necessary. Our team will help you navigate your insurance benefits and explore payment options, including flexible payment plans, to ensure your treatment is affordable.
