Dental Crowns in Pensacola for the Perfect Smile


 

Dental Crowns are one of the most common dental implant procedures performed by dentists around the world. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped ‘cap’ which is placed over a damaged tooth in order to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance.  Crowns are permanently cemented into place and fully encases the entire visible portion of a tooth and are made to look like your natural teeth. Crowns can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function.

 

The procedure begins with a crown preparation where the tooth has been shaved down to allow room for the crown. Our local Pensacola, FL dentist will make sure the tooth is able to support a crown well before your procedure. At this point, your crown will be implemented in order to protect your tooth from further damage. Some crowns are partial which only cover the front and biting edge of teeth while others are placed on the entire tooth.

 

Why Are Dental Crowns Needed?


Dental crowns perform several important functions including protecting weak teeth, restoring broken teeth, preventing further damage to cracked teeth and supporting teeth with large fillings. Crowns are an effective solution in the following situations:


    To protect a weak tooth from fracturing

   • To restore a broken tooth or severely worn-down tooth

   • To cover a tooth with a large filling when there is not a lot of the tooth left

   • To hold a dental bridge in place

   • To cover discolored teeth or poorly shaped teeth

   • To cover a dental implant

   • To restore a tooth after a root canal

   • To make a cosmetic modification


There are several types of crowns that can be used including resin, ceramic, porcelain, and stainless steel. For cosmetic purposes, dental crowns are usually made of porcelain or ceramic.
