A Complete Solution for Damaged or Decayed Teeth
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap designed to cover a damaged or decayed tooth. At East Side Modern Dentistry, we provide high-quality crowns that restore the strength, shape, size, and appearance of your natural teeth. Crowns are often recommended when decay or damage has progressed beyond what a filling can repair.
Crafted from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination, crowns are selected based on the location of the tooth, extent of damage, and your personal preferences.
When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
Crowns are ideal for teeth that:
- Have been weakened by extensive decay
- Can no longer support a filling
- Have been treated with a root canal
Why Choose Dental Crowns?
Protection
Crowns act as a shield, protecting vulnerable teeth from further decay or damage while restoring function.
Restoration
They bring back your tooth’s original shape and functionality, helping improve chewing, speech, and confidence.
Durability
With proper care, dental crowns are long-lasting and can withstand years of daily use.
Versatility
Crowns solve a wide range of issues—from broken, cracked, or severely worn teeth to covering implants or anchoring a dental bridge.
Comfort
Each crown is custom-designed to fit comfortably over your natural tooth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
How to Care for Your Dental Crown
To ensure the longevity of your crown and maintain great oral health, follow these tips:
- Brush and Floss Daily: Use fluoride toothpaste and clean around the crown carefully.
- Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: These can damage or loosen the crown over time.
- Use a Night Guard: If you clench or grind your teeth at night, a guard can help protect your restoration
- Maintain Regular Checkups: Schedule routine visits with our Falcon team to monitor your crown and overall dental health.
- Be Gentle While Flossing: Slide floss out gently rather than snapping it upward.
- Report Concerns Promptly: Contact us if you experience discomfort, sensitivity, or loosening around your crown.
