Are you experiencing a damaged or decayed tooth? Dental crowns might be the solution you need. Dental crowns are a versatile and effective solution for restoring the function and appearance of your teeth.
At Sparta Family Dentistry, we offer dental crown treatments to patients in Rockford and the surrounding areas.
Dental crowns can last up to 15 years with proper care and maintenance.
During your initial visit, Dr. Austin Goodyke will examine your teeth and determine if dental crowns are the right treatment for you. X-rays and impressions of your teeth may be taken to create a customized treatment plan.
To ensure a proper fit, a small portion of your tooth enamel will be removed. This allows space for the dental crown to be placed comfortably over the tooth. An impression of your prepared tooth will be taken to create your custom crown. While your permanent crown is being fabricated in a dental laboratory, a temporary crown will be placed over your prepared tooth. This temporary crown will protect your tooth until your next appointment.
After your custom crown has been created, you will come back to our office. The placement process is a meticulous dance of precision, ensuring that your permanent crown fits seamlessly, feels comfortable, and functions harmoniously with the rest of your teeth. This step is vital not only for the aesthetic appeal but also for the longevity and durability of your dental restoration. Once your permanent crown is in place, our team will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that your bite is balanced and natural.
Dental crowns provide an extra layer of protection for weak or damaged teeth. They shield the underlying tooth from further decay, fractures, or infections, ensuring its longevity.
If you have a tooth that is severely decayed or damaged, it can affect your ability to chew and speak properly. Dental crowns restore the functionality of your teeth, allowing you to eat and speak with ease.
Dental crowns are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking smile. They can also correct cosmetic imperfections such as discoloration, misalignment, or irregularly shaped teeth.
