Fix Damaged Teeth With a Custom Crown
Damaged teeth can affect both the appearance and function of your smile. Cracks, chips, or decay not only change how your teeth look but can also make chewing and speaking more difficult.
If you have a damaged tooth, a dental crown may be the ideal solution. A metal-free crown acts like a protective cap, restoring the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while shielding it from further damage.
At Victory Smiles Dental Center in Pasadena, our dedicated team provides custom dental crowns to help you regain a healthy, functional, and confident smile.
Why Porcelain Crowns Are a Great Choice
While there are several crown materials, we often recommend porcelain or ceramic crowns. The main reasons to choose these crowns include:
- Restore a tooth after a root canal or other dental procedure.
- Achieve a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile.
- Enhance both the appearance and function of your teeth.
- Support the completion of dental bridge or implant treatments.
- Benefit from a durable, long-lasting dental solution.
- Protect your tooth from further damage or decay.
Dental Crown Placement Process
The first step in any dental treatment is a consultation. During this visit, we assess your oral health and help determine the most effective treatment for your needs.
If a crown is the best option, we begin by preparing your tooth. Using a digital scanner, we capture a precise model of your tooth and send it to our trusted dental lab, where your custom crown is crafted.
Before leaving, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth. Once your permanent crown is ready, you return to our office for final placement and adjustment.
Typically, the crown process requires two appointments, though in some cases, same-day crowns are available for faster treatment.
