Premier Dental of Ashville is committed to helping patients restore and maintain their oral health with high-quality, long-lasting solutions. Dental crowns are one of the most effective treatments we offer for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. Known for their strength, versatility, and natural appearance, dental crowns are an essential part of our comprehensive restorative dentistry services.
Dental crowns—also referred to as caps—are custom-made restorations designed to completely cover a tooth that has been compromised due to decay, damage, or wear. These crowns are crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys and are designed to closely match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. The result is a restoration that improves the tooth's function and enhances its appearance for a seamless, natural-looking smile.
Dental crowns are used in a wide range of restorative and cosmetic situations. One of the most common uses is to restore a tooth that has been severely weakened by decay and cannot be repaired with a filling. Dental crowns are also frequently placed on teeth that have undergone root canal therapy, as the procedure can make the tooth more fragile.
Other situations where crowns may be recommended include:
• Repairing cracked, broken, or severely worn-down teeth
• Restoring a tooth after trauma or injury
• Enhancing the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth
• Supporting a dental bridge or topping a dental implant
By reinforcing and protecting the tooth, dental crowns restore strength and function, allowing you to chew and speak easily and confidently.
At Premier Dental of Ashville, we ensure the process of receiving a dental crown is smooth and comfortable. It begins with a detailed examination and consultation to determine the appropriate treatment plan. The affected tooth is then carefully prepared by removing decay and reshaping it to fit the crown.
Next, we take impressions of your tooth to create a precisely fitted crown. While your permanent crown is custom-fabricated in a dental lab, we place a temporary crown to protect your tooth. Once your final crown is ready, we will carefully fit and bond it into place using a strong dental adhesive.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, dental crowns can last many years. We recommend brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects. These practices help maintain the crown and the surrounding natural teeth, ensuring long-term success.
If you are dealing with a damaged, weakened, or cosmetically compromised tooth, dental crowns may be the ideal solution for restoring your smile. At Premier Dental of Ashville, our experienced team is here to deliver personalized, high-quality care that helps you achieve lasting oral health.
