Dental Crown
Dentist Peoria, AZ
 Dental crowns are an excellent option for people with badly damaged teeth that cannot be treated with fillings. For instance, if you have large cavities, our dentists can recommend dental crowns as they are effective in filling or covering up the cavity. At Desertview Dental Care we have dental experts who can perform crown placements to ensure restoration of the appearance, shape, and size of your teeth.
This will give you an excellent opportunity to improve the appearance of your smile and in the process improve your confidence when talking or smiling around people. If you are wondering whether you are a candidate for dental crowns, you are in the right place. We undertake sufficient time educating and advising our patients about the available and best treatment options, including veneers vs dental crowns, for your unique conditions.
Best Candidate for Root Canal
When our dentists examine your dental condition and determine that it would be best that you require root canal treatment, the procedure ends with your receiving a dental crown. A root canal is administered when a tooth is infected, or damaged beyond repair. After a root canal treatment, the tooth can be structurally weak and a dental crown can be used to restore the tooth's strength.
Improving Your Smile
Dental crowns are also important for cosmetic dentistry, improving the appearance of your teeth. Damaged or discolored teeth are a major hindrance to a beautiful smile, and patients who come to our practice for an effective solution sometimes are helped with a crown placement treatment.
A ceramic crown can be used which has the same color as your natural teeth. Our dentists also use dental crowns to cover up visible fillings. With a ceramic crown, your close friends or family members will not be able to notice them since they resemble the color of your teeth. You will therefore be able to smile in front of people without any fear or anxiety.
If You Have a Damaged Tooth
If you have cracked teeth, you should come to our practice to receive a dental crown. This is because a cracked tooth is weak and its structure is compromised. To prevent the likelihood of the tooth breaking and getting extracted, a dental crown can be effective in strengthening your tooth. A dental crown also offers relief to tooth sensitivity issues that accompany cracked teeth.
After Dental Implant Treatment
Dental implants are a treatment for missing teeth. The dental implant is screwed into the jawbone to act as the root of your tooth. Crowns are placed to cover the dental implants, and in this way allow the patient to chew normally. With crown placement after dental implant treatment, you will be able to have a permanent restoration solution as though you had your natural teeth.

FAQs
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers and protects a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth. It is designed to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, appearance, and function while blending naturally with the rest of your smile.
When might I need a dental crown?
You may need a dental crown if you have a cracked tooth, a large cavity, a worn tooth, a tooth after root canal treatment, or an older restoration that no longer provides enough support. At Desertview Dental Care, our dentists will examine your tooth and recommend a crown if it is the best way to restore strength and function.
What happens during the dental crown process?
The dental crown process usually begins with an exam and preparation of the affected tooth. Our dental team will shape the tooth, take impressions or digital scans, and place a temporary crown when needed. A custom crown is then made to fit your bite and smile before it is securely attached.
Can a dental crown look natural?
Yes, dental crowns can be designed to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth for a natural-looking result. Desertview Dental Care will consider your bite, smile line, and aesthetic goals when planning your restoration.
How do I care for a dental crown?
Care for a dental crown by brushing twice daily, flossing every day, and keeping routine dental visits. Avoid chewing on hard objects such as ice or pens, and let our dentists know if your crown feels loose, uncomfortable, or uneven when you bite.
How long do dental crowns last?
The lifespan of a dental crown depends on the material used, your oral hygiene, bite forces, daily habits, and routine dental care. Good brushing and flossing habits, regular checkups, and protection from clenching or grinding can help support the long-term success of your crown. |
