Dental Crowns In Sandpoint

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are recommended to repair teeth that are badly weakened. This may be due to damage such as a portion of the tooth fracturing off, a large cavity, multiple cracks running throughout the tooth structure or a tooth that has had a root canal. A crown is usually a tooth colored and made by our highly skilled dental laboratory technicians out of a very strong zirconia porcelain. The crown fits over your whole tooth to protect any weak areas of your tooth from fracturing off. Dental crowns can also improve the shape, function and color of your teeth so you can gain confidence in your smile.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Choosing dental crowns offers several benefits that make them an ideal solution for restoring your smile:

1. Enhanced Protection: Dental crowns provide a protective barrier against further damage, helping to preserve the tooth's structure and preventing future complications.
2. Restored Functionality: Crowns restore the strength and functionality of a damaged tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
3. Aesthetic Improvement: Crowns are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile and boosting your self-confidence.
4. Long-Lasting Durability: Our dental crowns are crafted using high-quality materials that are built to last, providing you with a durable and long-lasting solution for your dental needs.
5. Comfortable Fit: Our team takes great care to ensure that your dental crown fits comfortably and perfectly aligns with your natural bite, ensuring optimal comfort and functionality.

The Dental Crown Process

First, Dr. MacNeill will thoroughly examine your tooth to determine if a crown is the appropriate treatment option for you. If a crown is recommended, she will prepare the tooth by removing any decayed or damaged structure, ensuring a proper fit.

Next, impressions of your tooth will be taken, which will serve as a blueprint for creating your custom crown. Our skilled dental laboratory will craft the crown to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.

Then Dr. MacNeill will carefully place and cement the crown onto your tooth, making any necessary adjustments to achieve optimal comfort and functionality. Once in place, the crown will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, both in appearance and function. If you have a damaged or weakened tooth in need of restoration, we invite you to schedule a consultation at MacNeill Family Dental.
