Why Should I Get Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a versatile solution for a variety of dental issues. If you have a tooth that's damaged or decayed, a crown can help to protect it from further damage. Crowns can also be used to hold a dental bridge in place or to cover a dental implant. They can even be used for cosmetic purposes, to cover a discolored or misshapen tooth. With a dental crown, not only can you improve the functionality of your tooth, but you can also enhance your smile and boost your confidence.

The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Improved Appearance
Dental crowns can significantly enhance the appearance of your teeth. They are designed to look like a natural tooth, so they can easily blend in with the rest of your smile. Whether you have a tooth that's discolored, misshapen, or broken, a dental crown can restore its appearance, giving you a more attractive and confident smile.
Enhanced Functionality
A damaged tooth can make it difficult to eat or speak properly. With a dental crown, you can restore the functionality of your tooth. Crowns are designed to withstand the pressures of biting and chewing, so you can eat your favorite foods without any discomfort or difficulty.
Long-Lasting Solution
Dental crowns are a durable and long-lasting solution. They are made from high-quality materials that are designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last for many years, making it a cost-effective solution for dental restoration.
The Dental Crowns Treatment Process
Examination And Preparation
The first step in the dental crown process is a thorough examination of your oral health. Dr. Golden will assess the condition of your tooth and determine whether a crown is the best solution. If a crown is needed, the tooth will be reshaped to prepare it for the crown.
Impressions And Temporary Crown
Once the tooth is prepared, an impression of it will be taken. This impression will be used to create a crown that fits perfectly over your tooth. While the permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown will be placed over your tooth to protect it.
Placement Of The Permanent Crown
When the permanent crown is ready, Dr. Golden will carefully place it over your tooth, ensuring a perfect fit. The crown will then be cemented in place, restoring the appearance and functionality of your tooth. If necessary, follow-up visits will be scheduled to make sure your crown is functioning properly and your oral health is improving.
