Dental Crowns in Boca Raton - Protect and Perfect Your Smile

Renew Your Smile with Strong, Natural-Looking Dental Crowns from Our Boca Raton Dental Practice

Dental Crowns

Your teeth are strong and hard, but that doesn’t mean they’re invincible. There are numerous factors that cause enamel damage such as facial trauma, severe cavities, bruxism (teeth grinding), or accidentally biting down on hard food. If your tooth incurs a crack or a chip, the overall structure and integrity of that tooth will be compromised. To stop the condition from getting worse, your dentist will likely recommend the placement of dental crowns.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is an artificial cap that is shaped to mimic a tooth. It is placed over the damaged tooth to conceal irregularities and discoloration. Generally, dental crowns are designed to improve the appearance, shape, strength, and size of your teeth. Once a dental crown is placed over our tooth, it will completely cover the visible portion that sits above the gumline.

How Are Dental Crowns Placed?

How many visits are needed to place a traditional dental crown? Usually, it takes two visits to your dentist’s office. The process of placing a dental crown over your tooth is highlighted below:

First, your dentist will examine your tooth and prepare it. A mold of your tooth and an X-ray are obtained.
The tooth will be trimmed down as well as the surrounding teeth.
A temporary crown will be placed over the tooth for protection.
The impression will be sent to the lab. You’ll be asked to wait for several weeks before you get your permanent crown.
Once your permanent crown is completed, you’ll need to return to the clinic so your dentist can cement the dental crown over your tooth.

Why Do You Need Dental Crowns?

There are various uses of dental crowns. They may be used to:

Protect a weak tooth because of severe decay
Restore a worn down or broken tooth
Cover a severely discolored tooth
Keep a dental bridge in place
Cover an implant
Enhance the overall look of your tooth.

Dental crowns may also be used by children to protect teeth that are at risk of decay or to save a child’s tooth that has been damaged.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

The typical lifespan of a dental crown is around five to fifteen years, but this will depend on how well you care for them. Patients who are diligent in caring for their dental crowns say their crowns lasted longer than 15 years. Longevity will also depend on the material used. According to research, the crowns that last the longest are those made from gold or porcelain.

I went to Lifeway Dental for the first time with a toothache. From the front desk to the assistant and of course, the dentist, it was a very comforting experience. Each person there was professional, yet kind and helpful. For one who dislikes going to the dentist, I will actually go back. I highly recommend this office.

Dr. Cicortas is the dentist you need, search no further! If you are looking for a dentist that is willing to take their time and explain your diagnosis then this is your dentist. Staff is great as well, and my favorite is Maria, she's been my hygienist for years. Jackie is great too! Amazing office, staff, and doctor.
