Benefits of White Crowns

White crowns are about more than just looks—they also help protect and strengthen your teeth. Here are some key benefits:

• Look Like Natural Teeth: White crowns are color-matched to your real teeth, making them ideal for visible areas like the front of your mouth. They’re designed to blend in so no one can tell you’re wearing a crown.

• Restore Strength and Function: A white crown covers and protects the affected tooth, allowing you to chew and speak normally again. These crowns are extremely durable, so they hold up well in daily use.

• Require Less Tooth Reduction: Some types of white crowns allow for less tooth reduction, which means we can save more of your original teeth during the tooth preparation stage. This helps keep the tooth stronger in the long term.

• Promote Better Oral Health: Covering a damaged tooth with a crown can prevent further damage, decay, or tooth loss. It also helps maintain the health of your entire mouth.

White Crowns Procedure

Getting a white crown is a straightforward process that typically involves two visits, though CEREC crowns can be completed in just one. Here’s how the procedure usually works:

1. Initial Exam and X-Rays: We begin with an exam and x-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding area. This helps us identify any dental issues and choose the best crown materials.

2. Tooth Preparation: The tooth preparation step involves reshaping the damaged tooth to make room for the crown. This may involve tooth reduction and removing any decay or old filling material.

3. Impression and Temporary Crown: We take an impression of the prepared tooth and send it to a dental lab where your crown is custom-made. While waiting for the permanent crown, we place a temporary crown to protect the tooth.

4. Crown Placement: Once your final crown is ready, we check the fit and color. Using local anesthetic, we carefully cement the crown into place for a secure fit.

5. Final Adjustments: We check your bite and make minor adjustments to ensure comfort. The goal is for the crown to feel and function like your natural tooth.
