Your smile is one of your most prized possessions! If you have severely damaged teeth, they will interfere with the beauty and function of your smile. At Roam Dental, we proudly offer a range of restorative dentistry solutions, including dental crowns, to seamlessly restore your smile to a beautiful, functional, and healthy one. Chewing, speaking, and smiling will never feel better! 

What Are Dental Crowns?

Your tooth is essentially made of two parts. The root is the part under your gum line holding your tooth in place. The crown is the visible part of your tooth above the gum line. Your natural crown is made of enamel, a very strong material that can sometimes become damaged due to various reasons. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. 

Dental crowns can be made of different materials. At Roam Dental, we are proud to offer all-porcelain crowns. Porcelain is a superior and strong material. It mimics the natural color, texture, and translucency of your tooth enamel, leaving you with a healthy, seamless, stunning, and natural-looking smile! 

Who Would Benefit from a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns have many different uses, including the following:

  • Protecting weak or damaged teeth
  • Repairing deep decay and large cavities with not enough tooth structure to support dental fillings
  • Restoring broken or severely worn down teeth
  • Covering severely discolored or misshapen teeth
  • Holding dental bridges in place
  • Covering dental implants
  • Protecting teeth after root canal therapy

What Does the Crown Process Involve? 

Preparing and fitting your dental crown usually takes two appointments. During your first visit, Dr. Barbu will start by numbing the area to ensure you are comfortable. He will shape the affected tooth by removing some of its structure to accommodate your new restoration. Next, he will take an impression of your teeth to send to our partner lab, whose technicians will create a perfectly fitting crown that matches the color of your natural teeth. A temporary crown will protect your prepared tooth until your next visit. 

During an upcoming crown placement appointment, Dr. Barbu will remove your temporary crown and cement your new crown in place. He will make any needed adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit. Your new restoration will leave you with a seamless, functional smile. With proper care, your crown will enhance your smile for many years to come.
