Dental Crowns: Types, Costs, and Benefits

From the durability of metal crowns to the natural look of all-ceramic options, our experienced team will guide you in selecting the best choice for your smile. Explore our range of crown options during a consultation and find the perfect solution for your dental care.
 
Metal Crowns: For patients seeking exceptional durability, especially for molars that endure heavy chewing, our metal crowns offer unmatched strength. Composed of high-quality alloys such as gold or platinum, these crowns are ideal for those prioritizing function over aesthetics.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: At our practice, PFM crowns are a popular choice, blending the strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain. Perfect for back teeth, these crowns provide both durability and a more natural appearance, though some patients may prefer alternatives for front teeth to avoid a potential dark line at the gumline over time.

All-Ceramic or All-Porcelain Crowns: For patients prioritizing aesthetics, especially for front teeth, our all-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns offer the best natural color match. These crowns are metal-free, making them an excellent choice for those with metal allergies.

At 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental, we believe in personalized care. Our dentists will work closely with you to assess your dental needs, considering factors such as tooth location, aesthetic preferences, and budget, to recommend the most suitable crown option. Schedule a consultation with us today to explore the best restorative solution for your smile.

During your initial visit to 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental, our experienced team will thoroughly examine the tooth that requires a crown. This may include taking X-rays to assess the roots and surrounding bone structure. We will ensure your comfort by numbing the area and then expertly preparing the tooth. If necessary, we will use filling material to build up the tooth structure to ensure the crown will fit properly.

Once your tooth is prepared, we take a precise impression of your tooth and surrounding teeth. This impression is sent to a specialized dental laboratory where your custom crown will be crafted. To ensure functionality and aesthetics, we provide you with a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is being made.

We understand that each patient’s needs are unique, and the time required for a dental crown can vary based on several factors. Our dedicated team will discuss the specific timeline and procedure details with you during your initial consultation, ensuring that you are fully informed and comfortable with the process.

At 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental, we believe that caring for your dental crown is essential to ensure its longevity and maintain your overall oral health. After receiving a dental crown from our experienced dentists, it’s important to follow specific guidelines to keep it in the best condition.

Oral Hygiene:

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial in caring for your dental crown. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, and floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from around the crown. Pay special attention to the area where the crown meets the gum line, as this is a common site for plaque buildup. Using an antibacterial mouthwash can further help in reducing the risk of gum disease and decay around the crown.

Regular Checkups:

Regular dental checkups and cleanings at 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental are vital to ensure that your crown remains intact and your oral health is optimal. During these visits, our skilled team will assess the condition of your crown and the surrounding teeth and gums, ensuring everything is in excellent shape.

Avoiding Damage:

To protect your crown, avoid habits that could damage it, such as chewing ice, biting fingernails, or using your teeth to open packages. These actions can lead to chips or cracks in the crown, compromising its integrity.

By following these care instructions and partnering with 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental for your dental needs, you can help ensure that your dental crown remains in excellent condition for many years. Our commitment is to provide comprehensive family dental care, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. For more information, contact us, or request an appointment online today!
