DENTAL CROWNS AN OVERVIEW

Dental crowns are a versatile dental restoration used in both cosmetic and restorative procedures. Dental crowns are an artificial tooth crown that looks and function just like your natural teeth. It can be anchored to a dental implant and used to replace a single missing tooth or designed to fit over an existing compromised or damaged tooth to prevent the need for a tooth extraction.

DENTAL CROWNS CAN BE USED TO TREAT:

• Chipped or cracked tooth
• Discolored tooth
• Misshapen tooth
• Crooked tooth
• Missing tooth
• Strengthen a tooth after a root canal or to support a dental bridge

Dental crowns are custom designed out of a highly durable material. The dental crown is stain and decay resistant making for a lasting solution. The crown is shaped and color matched to enhance your natural smile. Dr. Overholtzer’s may fabricate your crown in the dental lab or use CEREC same day dental crown technology.

DENTAL CROWNS WHAT TO EXPECT

All dental restorations at Skyline Family Dentistry are custom designed and fabricated at our on-site dental lab. Dr. Overholtzer oversees all phases of the restoration to ensure a precise and comfortable fit as well as a beautiful and cohesive aesthetic.

The crown process will vary depending on the reason for use. Some patients will receive a crown to secure a tooth after a root canal while others will first undergo a dental implant placement. No matter what your reason for receiving a dental crown is, Dr. Overholtzer will explain all stages of your treatment plan so you are well educated on your procedure.
