If you have a damaged or weakened tooth, a dental crown can restore its strength, function and appearance. This treatment protects and reinforces a tooth while maintaining a natural look. Dr. Nathan Gray and Dr. Mechay R. Gray provide high-quality dental crowns to help patients maintain healthy and beautiful smiles.
Restoring Strength and Function
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover the entire surface of a tooth. They are commonly used to restore teeth weakened by decay, fractures or large fillings. Crowns not only protect the tooth but also improve its overall function, allowing patients to chew and speak comfortably.
Our dentists may recommend a dental crown for several reasons:
- Restoring a tooth with significant decay or damage
- Protecting a tooth after a root canal treatment
- Strengthening a cracked or fractured tooth
- Enhancing the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth
- Replacing a missing tooth when used with a dental implant
- Providing long-term durability with proper oral care
A Custom Approach for Natural-Looking Results
Each dental crown is designed to match your natural teeth for a seamless appearance. Our dentists and team carefully assess your needs to ensure a comfortable fit and long-lasting results. During your visit to White Oak Family Dentistry, the tooth is prepared, and impressions are taken to create a custom crown. Once the final restoration is made, the custom crown is bonded securely in place.
Long-Lasting Protection for Your Smile
Routine brushing, flossing and dental checkups are essential for maintaining their strength and appearance. Avoiding habits like chewing ice or biting hard objects can also help preserve the integrity of your crown. Our team is dedicated to providing long-term solutions to support your oral health.
