When it comes to restoring the form and function of damaged or decayed teeth, traditional dental crowns remain one of the most reliable solutions. At Audubon Dental, we take pride in offering a range of restorative dental options, including the tried-and-true method of traditional crowns, customized to fit seamlessly into your smile.
What Are Traditional Dental Crowns?
Traditional dental crowns are tooth-shaped “caps” that are placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size and strength. Made from various materials like porcelain, ceramic or metal, these crowns can be color-matched to blend in with your natural teeth.
The Procedure for Placing Traditional Crowns
The placement of a traditional crown generally involves two visits. During the first visit, the affected tooth is prepared by removing any decay and reshaping the surface to fit the crown. Impressions are taken to ensure a precise fit, and a temporary crown is placed. At the second visit, your custom-made crown is cemented into place, providing a robust and long-lasting solution.
Benefits of Traditional Crowns
Traditional crowns are lauded for their durability and ability to restore full functionality to a damaged tooth. Whether you need to repair a cracked tooth, cover a dental implant or anchor a dental bridge, traditional crowns serve multiple purposes.
Caring for Your Traditional Crowns
The longevity of your traditional crown depends on your dental hygiene practices. Regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups are essential for maintaining your crown and surrounding teeth.
