What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, sometimes called "caps," are custom-designed protective coverings that completely encase a damaged or weakened tooth. Made from durable, tooth-colored materials, crowns restore both function and aesthetics to your smile. Each crown is carefully crafted to match your natural tooth color and contours for a seamless appearance.
​
Our Hoschton dental practice may recommend a crown when you have:
-
A tooth weakened by extensive decay or large fillings
-
A cracked, fractured, or severely worn tooth
-
A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
-
A severely discolored or misshapen tooth
-
A dental implant requiring restoration
-
Need for a dental bridge, which uses crowns as anchors
Our Dental Crown Process
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Nick will thoroughly examine your tooth and surrounding gum tissue, often using digital X-rays to assess the tooth's root structure and bone health.
2. Tooth Preparation
After ensuring your comfort with local anesthesia, we'll carefully reshape the tooth to create space for the crown while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
3. Digital Impressions
Using advanced technology, we'll create precise digital impressions of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth, eliminating the discomfort of traditional impression materials.
4. Custom Fabrication
Your crown is custom-designed in a trusted dental laboratory, matching your natural tooth color, shape, and size for a seamless blend with your smile.
5. Temporary Protection
While your permanent crown is being crafted, we'll place a temporary crown to protect your prepared tooth and maintain your smile's appearance and function.
6. Final Placement
Once your custom crown arrives, Dr. Nick will carefully check its fit, color match, and bite alignment before permanently bonding it to your tooth, instantly restoring its strength and appearance.
