PORCELAIN CROWN (CAPS)

A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structures that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.

Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.

Reasons for crowns:

Broken or fractured teeth
Cosmetic enhancement
Decayed teeth
Fractured fillings
Large fillings
Tooth has a root canal

GETTING A CROWN

WHAT DOES GETTING A CROWN INVOLVE?

A crown procedure at Ideal Image Dentistry in Bismarck-Mandan, ND can usually be completed in a single visit, eliminating impressions and temporary crowns.

While the tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the crown and your new crown will be carefully placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate.

You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown.
