At Weston Dental Center, we offer high-quality crowns for teeth to restore your smile and improve oral functionality. Dental crowns are artificial caps that cover damaged teeth, providing strength and protection while enhancing their appearance. Crowns can be essential for individuals dealing with cracked, chipped, or severely decayed teeth, ensuring that your dental health is maintained effectively.
A crown is used to reinforce and protect a tooth that has lost enough structure to function independently.
In cases where a filling would not provide enough support, dental crowns in Weston help restore the tooth’s function and allow it to handle normal use.
A crown is usually recommended when a tooth has been significantly weakened, such as after root canal treatment or when a large portion of the tooth has broken down. It helps prevent further damage during chewing.
The lifespan of a crown depends on how the tooth is used and maintained. Maintaining consistent oral care and routine dental visits helps crowns stay stable and effective over time.
The area is numbed before the procedure, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Afterward, it is common to notice slight sensitivity, which usually settles as the tooth adjusts.
Most crowns are completed over two visits, where the tooth is first prepared and then fitted with the final restoration. Some practices offer same-day options using digital design and in-office fabrication.
Crowns are fabricated from different materials, including ceramic, porcelain, metal alloys, or blended materials. The selection depends on the position of the tooth and how much force it needs to withstand.
Yes, crowns can improve the look of teeth that appear worn, uneven, or darker than surrounding teeth. As part of cosmetic dentistry in Weston, they are shaped and shaded to match nearby teeth as closely as possible.
Even though the crown itself does not decay, the tooth underneath still requires care. Daily brushing, flossing around the crown, and routine dental checkups help keep the area healthy.
If you notice a cracked tooth, discomfort when chewing, or a large existing filling that feels unstable, it is important to have it checked. A dentist in Weston can assess whether a crown is needed to protect the tooth.
A crown may loosen if the underlying tooth changes or if the cement weakens over time. If it comes off, it should be evaluated promptly so it can be reattached or replaced if necessary.
Without fail, every time a dentist took a syringe to my gums, my tears would automatically start flowing. That is, until Dr Justin Hosseini did that. No tears! And the entire process of getting my crown, in one session, was totally amazing! It's great to see the latest technologies being implemented, resulting in a more efficient, but more importantly, a more comforting experience. I never imagined I could have something good to say about a visit to the dentist, but it finally happened. Thank you, Dr. Hosseini, and to your wonderful staff.
