Our custom-made porcelain crowns are designed to protect and strengthen a damaged tooth for years to come.
When a tooth is significantly damaged by decay, fracture, or wear, a simple filling may not be enough to restore its health and integrity. A dental crown, often called a "cap," is a custom-fitted restoration that completely covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. Dr. Stephen Cho uses high-quality porcelain crowns to provide a durable, long-lasting solution that brings your tooth back to its optimal strength and function.When is a Dental Crown Necessary?
A dental crown is one of the most versatile treatments in dentistry. We may recommend a crown to:- Protect a weak tooth from breaking or hold together a cracked tooth.
- Restore a tooth that is already broken or severely worn down.
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't enough tooth left.
- Hold a dental bridge in place.
- Cover a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy.
- Complete a dental implant.
The Crown Placement Process
Getting a dental crown is a precise, multi-step process, typically completed over two visits.- Preparation: At your first visit, Dr. Cho will prepare the tooth and take a highly accurate digital impression. A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth.
- Fabrication: Your impression is sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians will craft your custom porcelain crown.
- Placement: At your second visit, Dr. Cho will remove the temporary crown and permanently cement your beautiful new crown into place, ensuring a perfect fit and a comfortable bite.
