What are dental crowns?
Dental crowns are coverings for teeth that have damage. Made of durable ceramic or porcelain, they fit over the tooth to conceal the damage and protect the tooth.
What can dental crowns fix?
Dental crowns are a great choice for teeth that have chips, cracks, or decay. Crowns can cover extremely stained teeth, teeth with a void from a cavity that can't be filled, or a tooth that has a jagged or rough surface.
What are the advantages of a crown?
Crowns protect your tooth by preventing bacteria from growing in the damaged area of your tooth, which could cause decay and harm the neighboring teeth. If your damaged tooth is causing you discomfort while biting or chewing, the crown will restore the function of your tooth.
Aesthetically, a dental crown, which is tinted, sized, and shaped to match your tooth, looks natural and attractive.
What is the procedure for a dental crown?
Your Livermore, CA, dentist, Dr. Kamena will begin by scuffing the surface of your damaged tooth to make room for a dental crown, which fits over your tooth. Your crown will be crafted to fit the unique form of your tooth and cemented in place. Then it is cured so it is durable and long-lasting. Your dentist will make adjustments if necessary to ensure the crown blends in perfectly and inconspicuously.
