Repair Damaged Teeth with a Custom Dental Crown
Damaged teeth can impact both the look and function of your smile. Cracks, chips, or decay not only affect appearance but can also make chewing and speaking more difficult.
A dental crown may be the perfect solution for a damaged tooth. This metal-free, custom-made cap restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
At Victory Smiles Dental Center in Pasadena, our experienced team creates personalized dental crowns to help you regain a healthy, functional, and confident smile.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns
While there are various materials available for dental crowns, we frequently recommend porcelain or ceramic crowns. Key reasons to choose these options include:
- Repair and strengthen a tooth after procedures like a root canal.
- Achieve a seamless, natural-looking appearance that matches your smile.
- Enhance the function and aesthetics of your teeth.
- Provide reliable support for dental bridges or implants.
- Offer a durable, long-lasting solution for tooth restoration.
- Shield your tooth from future damage or decay.
How Dental Crowns Are Placed
Every dental treatment begins with a consultation. During this visit, we evaluate your oral health and determine the most effective treatment plan for your needs.
If a crown is recommended, we start by preparing the affected tooth. Using a digital scanner, we create an accurate model of your tooth and send it to our trusted dental lab, where your custom crown is carefully crafted.
A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth until your permanent crown is ready. Once it’s complete, you return to our office for final placement and any necessary adjustments.
In most cases, the crown process involves two appointments. However, same-day crowns are available in certain situations for quicker treatment.
