Full Coverage Protection for Damaged Teeth
What Are Dental Crowns?
Crowns are dental restorations meticulously designed to encase and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. These restorations cover the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line, effectively restoring both its strength and aesthetic appearance. Crowns are commonly recommended for teeth that are cracked, decayed, or severely discolored. They serve as a protective barrier, preventing further damage and ensuring the longevity of the tooth beneath. Crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, crowns can be customized to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a lifelike appearance.
The process involves precise measurements and impressions to create a crown that fits comfortably and securely. Crowns are often employed in conjunction with treatments like root canal therapy,dental implants, or as part of a dental bridge, making them an essential solution for restoring dental health. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, crowns can significantly extend the lifespan of compromised teeth, making them a valuable investment in your oral health and overall well-being.

At Monroe Dental and Implants, we craft crowns using high-grade porcelain, ceramic, and zirconia to match the exact shade and translucency of your natural teeth.
Typically, a dental crown requires two appointments: the first to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and the second to securely bond your custom permanent crown.
You may need a crown if you have a heavily decayed tooth, a cracked or fractured tooth, a tooth that has had root canal therapy, or an unsightly discolored tooth.
