If you have a damaged tooth that cannot be repaired with a traditional filling, you may benefit from a dental crown. At Midtown Dental, we utilize advanced CEREC technology to create same-day dental crowns, allowing you to restore your tooth quickly and conveniently.
A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a versatile restoration used for a variety of purposes. Most commonly, dental crowns are used to restore teeth that are significantly damaged or decayed. Each crown is custom-made to cover the entire tooth, starting at the gumline, effectively restoring the tooth’s shape, size, and strength. Crowns can be crafted from materials such as gold, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal, with porcelain being a popular choice for its ability to closely match the natural color and appearance of your teeth. Our dental team will work with you to determine the best type of crown for your smile.
Reasons for Dental Crowns
- A tooth is too damaged or decayed for a filling to be effective
- You need to protect a tooth following root canal treatment
- A dental bridge needs to be anchored and attached
- You have a dental implant that requires completion with a crown
- You want to enhance the beauty of your smile
- A tooth is misshapen and needs improvement
- A fractured or weak tooth needs strengthening
- A large filling needs support when little natural tooth structure remains
