Wildflower Dental will recommend a dental crown to restore the aesthetics and functionality of a severely damaged tooth. Our crowns are custom-made, tooth-colored, and designed for a seamless fit, ensuring your smile looks and feels natural. If you need a dental crown in Sun City, AZ, schedule an appointment with Dr. Jae Cho for expert care and long-lasting results.
A dental crown is a customized restoration designed to match the shape and color of your teeth. Dental crowns have several functions in dentistry.
Dr. Cho can recommend for various reasons:
When you have a severely damaged tooth, tooth extraction may be the only option available. However, we can give your tooth a second chance with sturdy dental crowns. Our crowns are aesthetically appealing, predictable, and functional, so they seamlessly integrate with existing teeth.
It takes 2-3 visits to restore your smile with a dental crown. First, the doctor will assess your tooth to determine its eligibility for a crown. If so, the dentist reshapes the enamel on all sides of your tooth. This creates space to accommodate the shape of the crown.
Next, we’ll take digital scans of your tooth, which guide our dental lab when fabricating your crown. As you wait for your new crown, the dentist will protect your tooth with an interim restoration.
Once your crown is ready, you’ll return for a second visit to have your new crown placed. The dentist will inspect the fit and aesthetics of your crown and use durable aesthetics to bond your tooth in place. Your crowned tooth looks natural, allowing you to speak and chew comfortably and confidently.
Many patients worry about dental crowns, especially on visible areas like the front teeth. The good news is that dental crowns can repair your teeth with near-perfect outcomes. We use porcelain crowns that mimic the color and translucency of the natural enamel. Our crowns are also customized to the adjacent teeth’ shape, size, and shade for a seamless appearance. Once we crown your tooth, it’s virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth.
Dental crowns are secured firmly to your tooth but can become loose over time. The common causes of loose crowns include accidents, wear and tear, tooth decay, or teeth grinding (bruxism).
A loose crown can cause several issues, such as:
A loose crown is a dental emergency because it can lead to infections and further decay of the underlying tooth. The dentist will inspect the crown and determine if it’s reparable or needs replacement.
