If your teeth sustain damage, Dr. Todd Anderson may recommend restoring them with porcelain dental crowns in Nixa, MO! This versatile restoration works to give you back a beautiful smile as well as prevent any additional damage from occurring.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, or caps, are a type of restorative treatment used for teeth that have sustained damage or decay. Teeth caps are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, fitting over the entire visible portion of the tooth to restore its shape, appearance and strength. While crowns may be made from several different materials, here at Absolute Dental Care we have chosen to use only teeth caps made from high-quality porcelain. Porcelain looks and feels like your natural tooth enamel, producing a beautiful final result and giving you a crown that will last for many years to come.
When Are Crowns Recommended?
Our dentist may recommend a dental crown to:
- Anchor and attach a dental bridge
- Cover and complete a dental implant
- Improve a misshapen tooth
- Improve the appearance of your teeth and smile
- Protect and restore a tooth after a root canal treatment
- Restore a tooth damaged by cavities or other issues
- Strengthen a tooth that is fractured or otherwise weakened
- Support a tooth with a large filling and little remaining natural tooth structure
Dental Crown Procedure
Dental crowns typically take two appointments to complete. At your first appointment, our dentist will take impressions and prepare the tooth. A temporary crown may be placed to protect your tooth until your final crown is ready. At the second appointment, we will check that your final crown fits properly before bonding it permanently into place.
