What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth. Unlike fillings, which repair minor damage, crowns protect and reinforce teeth with significant structural loss. Creative Dental Solutions offers zirconia and porcelain crowns that are durable, biocompatible, and closely match the natural look of teeth.

Modern crowns are useful both functionally and cosmetically:

• Protection of the teeth from any additional damage.
• Restore normal chewing capability.
• Enhance the cosmetic appearance of a tooth.
• Protection with long-lasting stability, often for about 10 years or more if maintained properly.

Reasons You May Need a Dental Crown

Dental crowns are a flexible solution for many dental problems. At our Bangor office, we often suggest them for situations like these:

• Extensive tooth decay that cannot be repaired with a standard filling.
• Cracked, fractured, or worn teeth that need extra support.
• A large filling has made the tooth weaker.
• Teeth that have had a root canal need extra protection.
• Improving the look of teeth that are missing or discolored.
• Holding a dental bridge in place to replace a missing tooth.

We will take a close look at your tooth with digital X-rays and special cameras to see if a crown is right for you.

Types of Dental Crowns at Creative Dental Solutions

Not all crowns are created equal. At Creative Dental Solutions, we focus on high-quality metal-free restorations that give good aesthetic and functional results.

• Porcelain crown - Highly aesthetic, ideal for front teeth where appearance is most important. They are carefully color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Zirconia crown - Their extraordinary durability and bio-compatibility make zirconia crowns excellent for back teeth that tolerate heavy chewing forces.

Unlike old crowns based on amalgam or metal, our crowns are free from ugly dark lines. Instead, they have lifelike translucency mimicking natural enamel.

The Dental Crown Process

At Creative Dental Solutions, we condense the crown procedure into two appointments so you can enjoy the convenience without sacrificing precision.

1. Initial Consultation & Preparation

• • Your dentist will examine your tooth and discuss your goals.
  • Local anesthetics are used for your comfort.
  • Your tooth is reshaped to create space for the crown.
  • Digital impressions are taken using our advanced technology.

2. Temporary Crown Placement

• • While your permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.

3. Final Crown Placement

• • When your permanent crown arrives from the laboratory, we check for proper fitting and aesthetics.
  • Adjustments are made so that it feels comfortable in your bite.
  • The crown is permanently bonded, thus restoring both function and appearance.

With proper care, your crown can last for a decade or more, providing dependable protection and a natural look.
