Dental Crowns
Are you looking for a solution to restore the strength and appearance of a damaged tooth? At True Dental, we offer dental crowns in Chattanooga, a versatile and effective way to rejuvenate your smile!
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, sometimes called "caps," are custom-made covers that fit over a damaged or weakened tooth. They encase the tooth's visible part, providing protection, support, and a natural-looking appearance.
What Is the Crown Placement Process?
- Consultation: During your initial visit, our experienced team will assess your dental needs and determine if a crown is the right solution for you.
- Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth to create space for the crown.
- Impressions: Precise impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom-fitted crown.
- Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being crafted, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.
- Permanent Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, it's bonded securely to your tooth, and any necessary adjustments are made for a comfortable fit.
The Key Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Restored Functionality: Dental crowns are designed to restore the functionality of a damaged tooth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably again.
- Strength and Durability: Crowns are incredibly durable and can withstand the forces of regular biting and chewing, providing long-lasting protection for your tooth.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: They’re made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and attractive smile.
- Versatility: Crowns can address various dental issues, including cracked or chipped teeth, severely decayed teeth, and even misshapen or discolored teeth.
- Preservation of Tooth Structure: They help preserve the remaining healthy tooth structure by preventing further damage or decay.
- Support for Dental Restorations: Crowns are often used to support dental bridges, cover dental implants, or secure large fillings.
- Improved Comfort: A crown can restore comfort and prevent sensitivity if you have a tooth with a large filling or significant damage.
