Dental Crowns

Looking for options to repair cracked, broken, or damaged teeth? Dental crowns, also known as caps, offer a long-term, reliable solution to restore your smile’s health and function. Our custom restorations are designed to closely match your natural teeth, delivering seamless results.

Our highly experienced team at Lake Minneola Dentistry will recommend the best restorative solutions for your unique needs. We invite you to visit our Clermont office to get your smile’s health back on track!

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that encases the entire visible portions of a tooth, restoring its strength, size, shape, and appearance. At Lake Minneola Dentistry, we offer all-ceramic or porcelain crowns. These quality restorations are made from a material designed to match the color, translucency, and texture of your tooth enamel, with incredibly natural-looking results.

All-ceramic crowns offer numerous benefits. They are metal-free, making them less likely to cause allergic reactions or sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures. They are also biocompatible, making them less likely to cause gum tissue irritation. Ceramic crowns are stain-resistant and incredibly durable, enhancing your oral health and the appearance of your smile for many years to come.

Why Would You Need a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns are versatile restorations that serve numerous purposes, including the following:

  • They protect weak, broken, or severely decayed or damaged teeth
  • They support large fillings with not enough tooth structure remaining
  • They repair teeth worn due to grinding, a condition known as bruxism
  • They cover and strengthen teeth after root canal treatment
  • They replace teeth by covering dental implants or supporting dental bridges
  • They make cosmetic modifications in terms of the size, shape, color, or overall appearance of teeth

What Is the Dental Crown Procedure?

Placing a dental crown typically takes two appointments. During your first appointment, we will numb the area around the tooth using a local anesthetic. Next, we will remove any damaged tooth structure and shape the tooth to make the needed space for your restoration.

Our state-of-the-art Medit digital scanner will capture highly precise 3D impressions of your teeth without messy or gooey putty. We will send these digital models to our dental lab to fabricate your crown to your unique specifications. A temporary crown will protect your prepared tooth as you wait for your restoration.

When your permanent crown is ready, you will return to our office for a placement appointment. We will check your restoration for a perfect fit and match to the surrounding teeth and use dental cement to hold it securely in place. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit and bite and polish your new crown until it matches the sheen of your natural tooth structure. Once in place, your new dental crown will look, feel, and function just like any of your natural teeth.
