Dental Crown

Dental crowns are a versatile and popular treatment option for restoring damaged or decayed teeth.

At Everett Smiles Family & Implant Dentistry, we offer dental crown treatment to our patients in Everett, Washington, to help them achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a prosthetic device that covers a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and function. Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials.

What are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns offer many benefits, including:

Improved function: Dental crowns restore the functionality of damaged or decayed teeth, allowing you to eat and speak with ease.

Improved aesthetics: Dental crowns can improve the appearance of your smile by covering stains, chips, cracks, and other imperfections.

Protection: Dental crowns provide a protective barrier against further damage or decay, helping to preserve the tooth structure.

Durability: Dental crowns are durable and can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.

How does the Dental Crown Treatment Process Work?

The dental crown treatment process typically involves two or three appointments. During the first appointment, your dentist will prepare the damaged or decayed tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it to fit the dental crown. They will also take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-made dental crown that fits perfectly over the prepared tooth.

While your permanent crown is being fabricated, you will wear a temporary crown to protect your tooth. Once your permanent crown is ready, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and bond the permanent crown onto your tooth using dental cement.

How long do Dental Crowns Last?

Dental crowns can last for many years with proper care and maintenance. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing twice a day and flossing daily, to prevent decay and gum disease from forming around the crown.
