Dental Crowns in Coral Springs
Dental crowns restore strength, function, and appearance to teeth that are damaged, worn, or weakened. Each crown is custom‑designed to blend naturally with your smile while protecting the tooth underneath.
What a Dental Crown Is
A dental crown is a durable, tooth‑shaped cover placed over a natural tooth. It reinforces the tooth structure and restores its shape, size, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used when a tooth cannot be repaired with a filling alone. They may be made from porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, or other strong materials depending on your needs.
When a Crown May Be Recommended
A crown may be appropriate if you have:
- A cracked, fractured, or severely worn tooth
- A tooth with a large filling that needs additional support
- A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
- A misshapen or discolored tooth
- A dental implant that needs a final restoration
- A desire to improve the appearance and strength of a weakened tooth
How the Crown Process Works
1. Evaluation and Preparation
We examine the tooth, take digital X‑rays, and prepare the tooth by removing any damaged areas. A small amount of enamel is shaped to make room for the crown.
2. Digital Impressions
We take precise impressions to design a crown that fits comfortably and matches your natural bite.
3. Temporary Crown
A temporary crown protects the tooth while your final crown is being crafted.
4. Final Crown Placement
Once the custom crown is ready, we check the fit, color, and bite before bonding it securely in place. The result is a strong, natural‑looking restoration.
