Dental Crowns in Palm Springs, CA
When a tooth suffers decay, trauma, or injury, it does not heal like the rest of our bodies. It needs help getting back to its original state. The Tahquitz Dental Group Palm Springs offers different treatments to restore your tooth, so you can continue to use it along with the rest of your teeth. A common treatment is a dental crown.
A dental crown is a cap or cover for your tooth made to perform like your original tooth. Dental crowns are made of materials that are strong enough to last without damaging nearby teeth. They are shaped and shaded to match your teeth, so that when you smile, no one can tell the difference. They also perform just like the rest of your teeth, so you can still enjoy crunchy, healthy foods.
Is It Time for a Crown?
- A large filling or overlay won’t stay in place
- A tooth has a weak or compromised structure
- A tooth is cracked or broken
- To cover over a severely discolored tooth
- When you get a dental implant
- To finalize a root canal treatment
How We Make Dental Crowns
The Tahquitz Dental Group wants your smile to be the best it can be, so when we place a crown over a tooth, we make sure it looks the part. Precise measurements verify that your dental crown will fit with your other teeth. During the first visit, your dentist prepares the surface of your tooth for a dental crown. Impressions or digital images and x-rays of your tooth are sent to a dental lab, where trained technicians design your crown out of tested, proven materials. It takes up to three weeks to complete this process.
During your next visit, your dentist attaches the crown to the tooth. Once in place, the crown works just like the rest of your teeth. Proper brushing and flossing are primary ways to keep your crown, the underlying gum tissue, and the rest of your teeth in the best shape possible. Subsequent visits with your dentist verify the status of your crown as well as maintain your clean and healthy smile.
