Dental Crowns Norcross, GA
A dental crown, often referred to as a dental cap, serves as an essential solution for restoring and protecting damaged or weakened teeth. If a tooth has significant decay, structural damage or requires cosmetic enhancement, a crown can restore its appearance and function. Custom-crafted to fit over the entire tooth from the gumline up, a crown helps preserve the tooth’s integrity while mimicking the natural shape and color of your smile.
Crowns are available in various materials, including porcelain, porcelain fused to metal and gold. Porcelain crowns are especially popular due to their ability to closely match the color and translucency of natural teeth. Our dentists will work with you to select the material that suits your specific needs and goals, ensuring you achieve a durable and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
There are several situations where a dental crown may be the ideal option. If a tooth is too damaged for a filling to provide adequate support, a crown can offer the necessary protection. Crowns are also used for restorative purposes such as:
- Protecting a tooth after root canal therapy
- Supporting and anchoring a dental bridge
- Covering and completing a dental implant
- Strengthening cracked or weakened teeth
- Improving the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth
Additionally, crowns can offer structural support for teeth that have large fillings, especially when much of the original tooth structure is missing. Whether you need a crown for functional restoration or cosmetic improvement, our team will guide you through every step of the process to ensure a comfortable and seamless experience.
