Dental Crowns Detroit

Novi, Michigan

We not only want healthy teeth, but teeth that look nice. There is nothing better than being able to have a smile that you aren’t afraid to show off to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Of course, we don’t all have the luck of having perfect celebrity-esque smiles. However, before you can have beautiful teeth, your teeth have to be healthy. If you have an infected or damaged tooth, you may want to consider a dental crown to protect your tooth from further damage. Contact our Novi dental office in you’re interested in dental crowns in Detroit.

How Does a Dental Crown Work?

Dental crowns, sometimes known as caps, are used to restore and cover the tooth structure to protect it from any further damage or trauma. Teeth crowns are used to not only enhance the appearance of your teeth, but to also strengthen them and make them less susceptible to dental problems. When a tooth becomes damaged or decayed to the point that a simple filling will not provide enough protection, a dentist will choose to use a crown instead so that your tooth is protected properly.

You will find that dental crowns in Detroit are offered in all different types of materials; however, Dr. Serra and other well-known dentists use only those made of porcelain. Porcelain dental crowns look natural and are extremely durable, so you can rest assured that you tooth is protected.

Placing a Dental Crown

Placing a dental crown is a two-part process. The first appointment you have will involve preparation of the tooth. This means removing any decay and getting rid of any filling within the tooth. During this procedure, we use ample local anesthetic to numb the tooth to make your visit as comfortable as possible.

Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Serra will take an impression of the tooth, which is then sent to a lab to create your porcelain dental crown. While your real crown is crafted, you will be supplied with a temporary crown to wear for extra protection until your crown is placed. With your temporary crown, it’s important to be extra cautious to ensure that the crown does not come off. This means avoiding certain foods and carefully flossing.

When your dental crown is ready to be placed, the temporary crown will be removed after the tooth is numbed again. The permanent dental crown will be placed after confirming that it is the proper size and shape to ensure you have a comfortable bite. Dr. Serra will then bond the crown to your tooth to ensure stability and strength.
